Defense min., German Amb. discuss means of bolstering bilateral relations


Iraqi Defense Minister Arfan al-Hayali met with German Ambassador to Iraq Cyrill Nunn at Hayali's office in Baghdad, the media office said on Wednesday.

During the meeting, they discussed ways to enhance the relations between the two nations.

Hayali also broached on Germany's support to the Iraqi army, particularly in training and medical aid, in the next phase.

Meanwhile, Nunn congratulated Hayali on the latest victories over ISIS, confirming his country's support to Iraq post-ISIS era.

ISIS terror outfit has been incurring huge losses in Iraq in recent months, with its affiliates expelled entirely from Mosul, Tal Afar and other areas.

From the recent victory parade against Daesh some 10 days ago;

Still eagerly waiting for joint Iraqi-Arab military exercises whether land, naval or air force. Or most importantly cooperation in the arms industries. Much needed.

The ministry of defense has a wonderfully detailed Youtube channel that not many other Arab equivalents have. Should have much more subscribers and viewers.

Federal police units

They've become battle hardened and more like an army infantry force throughout their operations against IS. Italian police (Carabinieri) is training them nowadays

Is the federal police aa kind of gendarmerie, like the Carabinieri?

Yes military police, federal police, national police. Different names same meaning, except the situation sort of militarized them more than what a police force should be with them having artillery.

We have developed BVR missile technology, can equip those F-16s with them easily. Does it needs US-permission?

Fakour with estimated range of 300-350 Km: F-16 can carry it, by matching it with it's radar

It would be much better than AIM-9L/M Sidewinders and AIM-7M Sparrows. USA won't give better than those outdated A2A missiles.

I don't see how it will integrate with the software of F-16 weapons systems, the F-16's would have to be worked on which is not going to happen as American contractors are maintaining them. AIM-7 is the best missile we'll have for this unless they clear the AIM-120 sale

It's Fakour-90 an upgraded version of American AIM-54 phoenix missile. It can be integrated easily, for example Iran has added anti-ship capability to F-14's radar. However, i don't think that Americans would allow such thing happens, since Iranian scientists have to open the radar of F-16s and integrate missile with it's radar. AIM-120 is best but Americans wouldn't sell it as it seems.

If i'm not wrong in Iran, AIM-7 is being produced too but under a different brand/name.
