Saettia Mk4 Patrol Boat

Agnadeen spent 1984 and 1985 in Italian waters, training the Iraqi crew. In 1986 she docked at Alexandria, Egypt as it was not safe to sail for Iraq with Iranian troops threatening Basra
the agnadeen oiler which has been in Egypt since 1990 will finally enter service with the Iraqi navy this year. it has been refitted and modernized.

Note, navy is still in rebuilding process, Iraq is looking to buy missile boats from Russia.

Could add some helicopter carrying corvettes in the future, if not at the new Faw port then near Basra, the rivers holds enough space.

Iraqi made fast patrol boats

Dude these are not Iraqi made.. these are US made Defender class patrol boats..


Pakistan Maritime Agency (not to be confused with Coast guards) also operate these:

Every countries AK found it’s place in Iraq.

Standard service rifle : AK 47 & M16, M4 for special forces, they might go for licensed production of some rifle to replace the remaining AK 47’s.

Most of these look like Norinco ... also the type-56-2 is also license produced by Pakistan...

AK’s weren’t purchased after 2003, I don’t remember when the last purchase was, Iraq has Egyptian Maadi copies, Chinese, East European, Russian and probably Pakistani as well, Iraqi copies.. they need to rule it out, terrorists will have it harder without them since it’s price is so low and ammo is everywhere unlike for the M16.

Im curious.. unlike Pakistan which has/had cottage industries producing weapons and bordering afghanistan (where most of the illegal weapons come from) .. how do Iraqi extremist turds get their hands on weapons n ammo?

The AK 47 is flooded in the middle east, there are so many in Syria and Iraq, they mainly come from Syria now since they captured many ammo depots.

in Iraq they are ruling the AK 47 out now, the thing is that they ambush checkpoints with many people and take the weaponry afterwards, if the standard service rifle becomes M16 for example it will be harder for them, it’s ammo is not everywhere, the price is expensive unlike the AK.
