Ok thanks @Dizer this really big awesome picture. So we have 3 of them so far.

They haven't stated numbers yet, but they have said this is the first batch of this type of helicopter.. so expect more on the way. News sources claims numbers between 6 and 12 for Mi35M.

Iraq Military Spending Increases To $17 Billion In 2013
http://www.defenseworld.net/news/956...3#.UqC-NOGhnGA


The Iraqi government has witnessed a 15.56% expenditure growth in past five years with $17.1 billion increase on advanced defence equipment and military training for the year 2013.

In 2011, $11.6 billion was spent on weapons and training for the military. The budget allocated to acquiring advanced military hardware more than tripled in the 2013 defence budget, from US$1.1 billion in 2012 to US$3.7 billion in 2013.

The Iraqi Ministry of Defence initiated its military modernisation program with M1A1 Abrams battle tanks from the US, with follow-up orders on F-16 fighter jets, air defence missile systems, Apache helicopters and additional tanks. The country has also signed military deals with Russia and Czech Republic.

According to a new report from Strategic Defence Intelligence (SDI), the country’s defence and security expenditure is estimated to grow at a rate of 8.68% over next five years to reach US$26 billion by 2018. The country’s strong oil reserves will play an important role in supporting the country’s military initiatives and will supplement growth of the Iraqi economy with a CAGR of 9.93% over the next five years.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Just as comparison, 26 billion is 50% of the budget for the Japanese armed forces, pretty good considering Ministry of defence gets a small percentage ( ~5-6% ).
