Iraq is interested in the supply of Russian military equipment
Earlier, Iraqi Defense Secretary General Mohamed Al-Abadi met with Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Federal MTC, to discuss current and planned Russian supplies weapons.
Speaking about the aircraft that the Iraqis are showing interest in, the representative of the center called "Su-25 attack aircraft, attack helicopters Mi-35 and Mi28HE, as well as military transport vehicles Mi-17". According to him, from the air defense systems, the Iraqi side could acquire the Pantsir-C1 anti-aircraft missile system, as well as the Cornet-E anti-tank missile systems.
He stressed that the above list of weapons, based on the tasks facing the Iraqi army, “is not a definitive list of weapons” that the Iraqi army needs, and during the negotiations, Baghdad can formulate specific requests for Russian-made military equipment.
Speaking about the solvency of the Iraqi side, the interlocutor stressed that this oil-producing country "possesses sufficient gold and foreign exchange resources to pay for the named weapons at the expense of direct mutual settlements."
