This video delves into the development history of the CZ-2000 "Lada" rifle. Initially conceived in the 1970s as a successor to the vz.58, it was designed as an AK-74 variant in 5.45x39mm, incorporating improvements like a thumb safety/selector, aperture sights on a better receiver cover, and a folding stock. By the late 1980s, trials began, but the Velvet Revolution shifted Czechoslovakia's focus to NATO. The project was re-engineered for 5.56mm NATO, renamed CZ-2000, and offered in three variants: a short-barreled SMG-style, a standard rifle/carbine, and a light machine gun. Despite these efforts, the CZ-2000 did not succeed in military trials and was ultimately replaced by the CZ805 "Bren".
