Lavrov announced Russia's readiness to supply weapons to Iraq

Russia is ready to satisfy any Iraqi demand for Russian-made military products. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference in Moscow following talks with his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Hussein.

We are ready to meet any Iraqi needs for Russian-made military products. (...) our country has traditionally played and continues to play a very important, significant role in ensuring the defense of Iraq, equipping the army and security forces, including in the context of the remaining terrorist threats

- the minister said.

The foreign minister said that an official visit to Iraq by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu is planned for the foreseeable future. According to him, during this visit, the sides will specifically and substantively discuss possible deliveries of Russian weapons to Iraq.

Earlier it was reported that the United States threatened Iraq with the imposition of sanctions in the event of the acquisition of the Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM). As stated in Baghdad, the Iraqi air defense system needs a Russian air defense system, since the country's borders are not protected from air invasion, which is exemplified by Turkish planes that regularly fly into the country.

The Iraqi Defense Ministry confirmed that they had been negotiating for a long time about the supply of Russian S-300 air defense systems, but the issue was never resolved, since the Iraqi government was pressured by the United States.

This speaks of real, not imaginary, sovereignty.
The United States has found and has long been using a universal "key" with the help of which it contrives not only to "close from unnecessary encroachments" certain countries of the world, but even such interstate associations as the EU.

This suggests that the United States destroyed the state of Iraq and is using it as a colony ...

The United States does not have keys, but master keys, in the form of introducing democracy into all countries, and then, as in the song ... "do with them what you like ..."

[Lech from Android.]

universal "key"

This suggests that the United States does not know how to negotiate otherwise, that's all ... the US State Department has not gotten rid of the cowboy habits ... it is again preparing to introduce new sanctions against the Russian Ministry of Defense ... the insanity of the Americans has reached a climax.
Let them try to impose sanctions against the Yars, Topols, Poseidons, Daggers ... heh heh, let's see what they finally have time to gurgle in response to us.

Well, the Turks, with all their desire, could not prevent the purchase of the S-400. In principle, Iraq can also acquire the S-300, indicating to the mattresses that they were bought by the same Greece, which is part of NATO. In short, Iraq should be accused of a dirty game, double standards, and sent in a certain direction.

Iraq would not be occupied by NATO forces for nothing, so that the country would buy weapons from the Russians, but this should not happen.

The basis of the NEW Iraqi army NEW weapons from Russia. It didn't work out with the planes, there were old contracts and they were slowly fulfilled. And of the new ones, when half of the country turned black, only the Su-25 was available.

You better look at the numbers. Iraq bought about $ 12 billion from the Americans, but purchases from us did not reach 2 billion

[donavi49]

AND? So it is necessary to raise prices - but then they will not buy. What did Iraq buy from the Americans? If you do not take old purchases even under the American administration (Abrams, guns, equipment and shooters, various communication systems, ACS, etc.)

36 F-16 block52 ($ 5,3 billion including a guarantee, a pile of weapons, training of about 600 Iraqis - both pilots and ground personnel). 12 Hercules. About 30 Bells 412 and 206 Teksana 24.

You can also take 12 patrol boats from Louisiana, they also pulled for 200 million there.

[Gado]

The Iraqis have long been accustomed to Russian weapons and equipment. And if the United States is sent to a well-known address, then there are no barriers to the purchase of Russian weapons. And the occupation of the NATO country everyone knows how it ended.

How will the Persian Gulf monarchies view our supplies to Iraq?

Actually, the article is not about Iran, but about Iraq.
Yes, it seems like the monarchies themselves are expressing their readiness to buy S-400 from Russia.

[WIKI]

We are ready to meet any Iraqi needs for Russian-made military products.

Word любые this sentence is superfluous and does not look believable.

[Crash]

Ready to meet any Iraqi needs ...

Well, the wording was chosen by Mr. Lavrov! How else could it be expressed? We supply / provide / arm / sell ...

[Mitroha]

Well, if the words are not ripped out of the phrase ...

[Ros 56]

You can make it smarter, put our S-300s with crews, like for rent.

Lavrov announced Russia's readiness to supply weapons to Iraq

It remains to wait until Iraq is ready to buy these weapons

[Ensign19]

Just read the info on tgc, the Israel Defense Forces received an order to prepare for a possible US strike on Iran before the end of Trump's presidency

[Alien From]

The Iranians want to buy, let them buy.

[Nyrobsky]

In principle, nothing prevents the Iranians from purchasing weapons today, and everything depends on their purchasing power. The mattresses were unable to extend the arms embargo against Iran due to the fact that no one supported their initiative, including even their European allies. Here the Iraqis have a problem with weapons.

[Alien From]

Yes, they have money, they are just cunning, like the Indians, they want samples along with production technologies.

It's actually about Iraq. A slightly different country

And what. A good vaccination against the democracy of Made in USA.

[Charik]

I've never heard anything about it, I don't know anything. (Peskov's mustache)

[Narak-zempo]

And why did they start talking about the readiness to supply S-300s to Iraq now, and not at the beginning of the XNUMXs, when there was a legitimate ruler there, and these complexes were needed to protect against aggression?
