Equipment
In 2011, the Somaliland Coast Guard had extremely limited equipment. Their vessels consisted of two 20-foot motor boats and they were armed with AK-47 rifles and RPG-7 rocket launchers. [6] In the following decade, the Coast Guard received a total of seven Defender -class boats , four from Italy and three from Sweden . Additionally, the SLCG received three cars from the European Union in 2018. [7]
