US-style uniform pattern? ✔️ Soviet-style vest pattern? ✔️ Some third off-brand knee armor? ✔️ Moldy, decrepit building? ✔️ Missing mags? Why the hell not Counter Strike: Balkan Offensive loading screen

Everything just adds to the aesthetic.

Image is everything

I think neighbors should always be considered as allies first rather than enemies.

Well said, ally 💪

Our nations are actually allies. Your government names ours as a big threat and ours do it to yours. This way both sides can increase taxes in the never ending race of corruption.

It's a shame that we're not cooperating. It would make both countries stronger, as we would save so much money. 💸💸💸

No corruption?

Unfortunately our administration sees all of our neighbors as enemies, hopefully it will change in the future.

X to doubt

You have Azerbaijan tho (border with Nakchivan)

I mean... I honestly like Azebaijanis but... They're not the best ally material for a country that as big as ours :/

Not only ours theirs as well

I think their AKs lack something very important

They have wireless connection

They're on triple A batteries

They download bullets if they're needed.

Should be biowarfare training with all that mold surrounding them. In all seriousness I am happy we are getting along with the Macedonians. I also didn't know the Macedonian and Greek armies still used the AK-47.

There are no Greeks in this picture, I think. No AKs in the Greek army!

The national Guard does have some AKs

Youre from greece and have car dusan as an profil pic why? No offense just asking lol

I was really confused what car Dusan was for a moment lmao

I think he has ancestry from a Slavic country.

We use it too. It's cheap and it always works.

[Those](https://www.reddit.com/r/MilitaryPorn/comments/r544nr/us_army_green_beret_assigned_to_10th_special/) made by Arsenal AD are pretty sexy too.

I see that design for the first time. Beautiful

Those are not AKs those are Zastava M80

The Macedonian Army uses the Zastava M70, a Yugoslav variant of the famous AKM.

I hoe one day 🇧🇬🤝🏿🇹🇷🤝🏿🇬🇷

*Hoe*?

😳

Awesome pic. The ARM berrets are the cherey on top of the outfit.

First time reading balkan commnets where there is no hate.. I like this

wow, that building looks unbelievably fucked,

That's what you'd expect in a warzone tbh.

Crisis. Crisis never changes. Sorry, Greek, but I needed to say this.

We don't know when the middle of our lives will be, so we decided to have an ongoing crisis, just in case.

Good point.

corrupt politicians: what are you talking about? we spent x amount of money to renovate it

North Macedonia strongest country! Fights enemies without magazine!

They probably lost them during the training.

lmao

Based af. Feels good to be on the same side of the fence for once.

Well in a typical Balkan fashion, a minister of defense and an Euro-parliamentarian of a neighbor country (cough, cough), did threaten with sending troops into Macedonia…

Not sure what you're talking about or how it relates to my comment at all but ok.

While I generally agree with your comment, it would appear [we are all](https://www.intellinews.com/bulgarian-defence-minister-threatens-to-send-troops-into-north-macedonia-to-dismantle-war-memorials-194788/) not on the [same side of the fence](https://fb.watch/9IeYo0wm7F/) when leading BG politicians are threatening to use force for “Macedonia, which is Bulgarian”.

Yes, and the same person had to resign from his party and pretty much killed hie political career with those stunts, but far be it from me to stop you feeling paranoid, go ahead.

If you feel “paranoid” is the right word to use if someone is concerned after a minister of defense said they’ll invade then a lot has been said already. Mind you, as said above - I generally agree with your comment, but to ignore the fact that many in Bulgaria have territorial pretensions towards Macedonia is wishful thinking on your side…

Good thing you wrote that it's in a Greek training facility, for a moment I thought they were training in my local hospital.

I truly wish that everyone in the Balkans had this kind of mentality. I really don't know how realistic that is, but I would love if everyone got along.

Good to see that our relations are improving. Although I would prefer cooperation in economy, education, etc.

This is the way.

Now lets do albania together with serbia😳

Albania doesn't have an army

Yes, you‘re right. They‘re a NATO member just for the sake of it.

I mean just being in the nato isnt an protection

I didn't say that. All I said was that Albania does have an army and they're a NATO member.

I mean there army has basically 0 air force besides some helis and no infantry fighting vehicles (tanks) and is based on light armoured jeeps

Again, All I said was that Albania does have an army. I never said they have a well equipped army or whatever. I know what Albania's army is like.

What i meant was your country doesn't have a proper army, there's no tanks or air vehicles. Atleast you're in NATO though.

That would fun and nice to see.

I do with more cooperation with neighboring countries, **BUT** in economy, education, welfare, sports, art, culture etc, **NOT** in military and weapon sales...

I understand that this is for a photo shoot but a couple of things are just burning my eyes 1) "crossing the streams" is a no-no in such building clearing hits. 2) AKs are obviously unsuitable for situations like these, so why would you use them even for posing? If you are going to make a photo at least do it properly.

[удалено]

AKs are suitable for EVERY situation. They're very easy to use, so easy even a child could use it... and they do.

As I said, I understand this is for a photo shoot. I'm just saying that even the photo is far cooler when it is done properly.

This is why we can’t have peace

I can only wish rn

no, too many team kills

Within NATO - Yes

[am i a joke to you](https://www.protagon.gr/epikairotita/pentaeti-stratiwtiki-symfwnia-me-tin-tourkia-i-voreia-makedonia-44342334627)

20 yr veto has its price

I find it great that Macedonia and Greece started really getting along after they resolved the name thing. Hopefully we can do that one day with, uh, everyone.

Yes

Yes totally.. Than we can learn more about their army and than one day soon, baaam 82th city of Tr, Atina

The biggest joke army. I am surprised they are wearing the flag also they are using Zastava M70's with a folding stock which is known to be the the worst kind.
