The Iraqi delegation to negotiate the purchase of weapons visited Moscow

The official Iraqi delegation on Thursday visited Moscow. The main purpose of the visit is to conduct negotiations on the procurement weapons designed to enhance Iraq’s security capabilities. The reason for this action is the planned withdrawal of the American contingent. This was stated by Fala Zidane, a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Security and Defense.

“Our delegation is holding talks in Moscow on equipping the Iraqi army with weapons that will be used to maintain security in the country after the withdrawal of the American contingent from Iraq,” Zidane said, according to the government newspaper Al-Sabah.

According to the newspaper, negotiations with the Russian side are part of the efforts of the Iraqi leadership to diversify sources of weapons. Today, weapons are supplied mostly by the United States.

News about the Russian-Iraqi talks appeared after a visit to Baghdad by Joe Biden, vice president of the United States, the next day. During the visit, he said about the "new stage" of strategic partnership, which he said should begin after the withdrawal of American troops from the country in late December.

The Americans left and Iraq decided to buy our weapons. He does it right. Apparently the American is not so good as the Americans tried to talk about him the same last eight years. And Iraq needs to be offered and shown the full range of weapons. Let him take it without hesitation. And pays money.

Well, actually, the Americans are buying our weapons for Iraq and Afghanistan - AK, Mi-17, Ukrainian and our armored personnel carriers.

Three hares were killed:
1 Russians are bad for the world (they sell weapons) and show that the United States is not a monopoly on the sale of weapons
2 They are arming themselves so that they would strike at Syria and Iran with our weapons. You can’t defeat with your weapon, buy that weapon and apply it to them. Or the same manufacturer has counter weapons.
3 You can crap our defense industry.

Only Iraq is in plus, the rest are in + and -

[Lech e-mine]

grandmas forward and no freebies.

One thing surprises me ... lately it has become painful to write that our weapons are being bought outside of Russia. Of course, I knew that there was a demand, well, not so much.
Well then, you have to call Iraq to the SCO.

[Sergh]

Yes, this is the same gift, it’s just nice to equip an entire country from head to toe and all to us! Like, we live poorly, control and control again, everything will be all right, which means that a border treaty must be present and all different initiatives for rapprochement!
Big money, I will say!
PS-If it's not a disinformation.

[Satanail]

No, there is dermocracy!

[vadimus]

For the desert, our technique is very well suited. And helicopters and armored vehicles. No wonder they even buy Pindos. Everything simple is brilliant ...

[tronin.maxim]

And brilliantly and inexpensively.

[Vadim]

Yankees will get an ulcer from anger.

[Sergh]

Vadim, I can already see through binoculars: amers of the hair on the ass are torn, so McCain pulled out a bunch, it turned out, the last one!

[ChickenousPerm]

for Iraq expensive pendosovskoy weapons can not afford simply, it is many times more expensive

[bubla5]

Iraq, the country of the Yankees, so do not give them a fuck

[Joker]

I agree that they once sat at home and snot munching, fearing the US would fight, now let them get rid of the liberators.

[almost demobil]

This is exactly the case when weapons can get to terrorists, because there is an incomprehensible, weak-willed government in Iraq. By the way, with large volumes of supplies, the experience of our "super exercises" can be useful, when whole brigades are practicing actions when attacked by mythical terrorists.

[linen]

It really seems to be a matter of price and quality. The country that purchases weapons involuntarily falls under the influence of the one who sells.

[mishan]

Just let the money pay for this weapon! I remember the supply of weapons to Afghanistan, in particular Mi-17 helicopters, which we "donated" for the so-called maintenance of security in the country after the withdrawal of the American contingent. Well, I understand that Afghanistan is drugs, more control means less drugs in Russia. But why did Iraq surrender to us?

[storm12]

We support our defense industry with orders. The main thing is not to sell anything serious.

[dobry-ork]

It turns out that our weapons will still be better than the Pindos?

[SAMEDOV SULEYMAN]

Here again, another game of the Americans, the Iraqi leadership does not even go to the toilet without the permission of its owners. All Iraqi weapons were Soviet-made, so there is no need to retrain these rams, firstly, and secondly they will buy small arms (Kalash) and vehicles (helicopters and trucks).

[patriot64]

And I don’t understand what kind of dregs it is? !!!! The Amers turned everything around, made Iraq their dairy cow, and will our weapons go there? ... No, of course I am not against this, but the picture of what is happening is unclear! Again the dirty sorties of the American bigwigs?
