Many countries are helping Iraq, and the Czechs, if you are not aware, are quite determined to maintain a certain sovereignty in international relations.

                    my opinion is this: the one who has the right to say "we" who really did something for the country, and did not ask: WHAT THE COUNTRY DID FOR ME? All the rest WE have the right to talk about the VICTORY like this: "Our grandfathers (our country) defeated fascism (liberated Prague, including)" And by the way, the losses were much less in the Prague operation, the Germans by that time had already broken through to meet the Americans, wanting to surrender to them, and not the Red Army. The rearguard remained in Prague, badly battered by the remnants of the ROA division, which joined the Prague uprising.

On January 25, the Czech government announced its intention to transfer to the central government of Iraq and the leadership of the Kurdish autonomy 3000 new and 3600 retired and stored in the Czech Armed Forces CZ vz.58 assault rifles, as well as 7,2 million of ammunition for them.
      According to Janes Defense Weekly, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka announced on Twitter a new package of military assistance. On January 25, Minister of Defense Martin Stropnicki told the media that another 3,8 million rounds of 7,62x39 mm caliber and 3 million rounds of 7,62x54 caliber would be donated to Jordan.

      The CZ vz.58 assault rifle was developed by the Czech company Czech Zbrojovka under a Soviet 7,62x39 mm cartridge in the late 1950s. and adopted as a regular small arms of the Armed Forces of Czechoslovakia in the early 1960s. Production of CZ vz. 58 was discontinued in 1988. Currently, the Czech Armed Forces are replacing the CZ vz. 58 with a new assault rifle CZ 805 BREN A1.

      As TsAMTO previously reported, in November 2015, the Czech Ministry of Defense supplied Iraq with 10 million machine gun cartridges and 5 thousand hand grenades.

Judging by their reviews, this Kalashnikov assault rifle was very much appreciated during the battles in the city ruins.

    is the second part of military assistance to this country to fight the Islamic State group


    This is not help, but extinguishing the fire with gasoline at least. Help in the fight against IS must be taken from the Russian Federation and not from the Americans, and there is a recent living example. But if the Czech Republic is a NATO member, then help is the same. This suggests what to say it does not mean the fight against terrorism, but only shows that Europe simply does not know how to fight terror and at the same time fears it.

And the eight appeared when the Muscovite was already trying to launch 2141, I went on such a car for six months, but I started to rot the body, I had to get rid of it. But of all the domestic cars that happened to drive, I remember him as a reliable (though, after fine-tuning for a week) comfortable and well-managed transport for the family. Moreover, it cost almost 2 times cheaper than nine. On the periphery they still come across with Renoa engines, men praise, although they will soon be 20 years old.
