Photo-article from Swedish armed forces web regarding NBG signoff ceremony in Cork today. Couple of pics on the link, maybe google-translate for the story but basically it's a round of thank you's and some info that the ISTAR unit while not deployed for EU did do national tasks during the standby period such as the UK queen and US President visits.

As I have seen with several other operators of the Steyr AUG, most have the option of including an underbarrel grenade launcher, but few actually do. Are there any examples of Irish soldiers actually equipped with a UGL?
