Ukraine’s latest 9mm submachine gun, the FORT-230, was developed by RPC Fort for military and law enforcement use. This compact blowback-operated SMG is designed for close-quarters combat, offering semi-auto and full-auto fire with a rate of 800 rounds per minute. The FORT-230 feeds from 20 or 30-round proprietary magazines inserted into the pistol grip keeping it lightweight and maneuverable. It features a full-length Picatinny rail, folding backup sights, a collapsible stock and a quick-attach suppressor-ready muzzle device. With an effective range of 200 meters, this Ukrainian SMG is built for modern urban warfare and special operations. Could this be the next go-to SMG for Ukrainian forces?

This uncertainty adds an element of intrigue regarding the weapon's potential applications and future developments.
