Regardless of which ministry they fall under, it's a pedantic point.
The Israeli government allowed the licened manufacture to continue knowing that the Ukrainian government had allowed azov to have them. Israel would have had legal authority to force iwi to pull the licensing agreement once they were being provided to azov, but they didn't.
Israel historically was the only country to support Rhodesia and the Apartheid era South Africa (including a nuclear weapons program in the latter case), or the actual Right Wing Death Squads in Lebanon. It's nothing new or surprising they at least wouldn't care about it politically, it's only consistent to their character.
Anyway, the Azov guys have NATO weapons (and actually NATO, not Made in Ukraine) aplenty, too. It's not a big deal despite any hysterical TIME or The New York Times articles about it. "Even" the Azov movement connected informal paramilitaries like the Freikorps are seen having the Javelins or whatever. If they're putting them to good use in overkilling Russian paratroopers in their silly aluminium BMDs and the Chechens in the Tigrs, no one cares about American lefties having a fit.
Yeah, I've been seeing footage of Ukrainian-Snuffy, and he's wearing better kit than I ever had. The gear I'm seeing them with is the stuff the US government only issues to tier 1 SOF. Which raises a whole seperate set of questions.
Many guys get their own gear after being literally crowdfunded. It was especially so at the start of the war, and not just in volunteer formations. (Those delivering the packages to the front were also known as volunteers in English, but the Ukrainian words are different.) Today just like many others around the world (including various Islamists) they for example love to fit themselves with the prized Pulsar thermal sights that you can buy in America for hunting and are just total game changers for night combat and sniping purposes.
Not until 2014 but in 2014. For about 4 months when it was a police battalion.
It is not and never was anything military (nor "regular military"), always only just the Interior Ministry.
The gun was intended for the 4th Regiment, but spred all across the National Guard and beyond.
