The Iraqi Armed Forces

Most likely true news.

The replacement of the former army commanders Ali Ghaidan and Abbud Qanbar is Nasser al Hiti, he's well known for his competence and harshness towards terrorists, Americans have experience working with him Nassir al-Hiti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He was a republican guard commander from Hit ( Anbar ) during the former regime.

What are those UAV and tank show on the table?
 
What are those UAV and tank show on the table?

China offered UCAV to Iraq, MoD admitted that they have been seeking UCAV's and were negotiating with China but this was in February 2014, I don't know why there still has not been 1 delivered UCAV.

there are more pictures of them here : China offers to arm Iraq ( most likely armed UAV’s in the deal )

CH-4 and the CH-3 are the UAV's you see on the table, you also see the Pantsir S1 ( delivered ) along with the Chinese tank ZTZ-99, I think it means they ordered those weapons.

I think with the current situation developed, what needed most is CAS and not UAV, the IS are armed with Chinese advance FN-6. Making combat UAV vulnerable. What need most will be high/medium attitude surveillance UAV to avoid Manpad while still able to carry out all time surveillance on insurgent.

I don't know how MANPADS work, but a UCAV at night is hard to find, they can do a lot of good work under the cover at night and the nights are long in the middle east, they're very useful COIN weapons, helicopters are vulnerable to manpads as well but they're still needed.

@1000 do you know how many mi-28 we purchased.

Not precisely but numbers mentioned are from 19 to ~40, at first they ordered more MI-28's then they decreased MI-28's and increased the numbers of MI-35's so i'd put the current guess at 19 Mi-28's.

(IraqiNews.com) On Sunday, the newspaper “Vedomosti” quoted sources in the Russian defense industry sector, that Russia in 2014 signed contracts to deliver a large batch of guns, rocket launchers and ammunition in the amount of one billion dollars to Iraq.

According to the newspaper, the contracts were signed during the visit of the Iraqi military delegation, headed by the Minister of Defense, Saadoun al-Dulaimi, to Russia in 2014.

The sources explained that Russia will supply to Iraq 2 or 3 systems of rocket launchers ‘Grad’ and a number of howitzers and a large number of mortars, in addition to four rocket launchers and flame throwers model ‘Sulentsepyuk.’
