Croatian AK refers to the AK-47 and its variants that were manufactured or used by the Croatian military and police forces. These rifles, which were based on the original Soviet AK-47, were modified to suit the needs of the Croatian defense forces. The most common Croatian AK variants are the VHS assault rifle, the AK-47 and its variants, and the Zastava M70 assault rifle.
The VHS assault rifle, which stands for "Vatreni Hrvatski Samokres" (Fire Croatian Pistol), is a modernized AK variant that was introduced in the Croatian Armed Forces in 2009. It uses a bullpup design and has several advanced features such as optical sights, user-adjustable gas system, and adjustable trigger. The VHS is a modern primary weapon used by Croatian infantry troops.
The AK-47 and its variants, on the other hand, were used by Croatian defense forces during the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s. These rifles were mostly acquired from former Yugoslav military arsenals and had various modifications made to them, such as adding laser sights or telescopes. They have a fixed or folding stock and can be chambered in different calibers.
The Zastava M70 assault rifle is based on the original Soviet AK-47 design. It was manufactured in Yugoslavia and is now produced by the Serbian Zastava Arms company. The Croatian police sometimes use this rifle, along with the Croatian version of the M16 rifle, for their special forces.
Overall, Croatian AK weapons have maintained the core features of the original AK-47 family of rifles but have been modified to meet particular needs and preferences of Croatian forces.
