The Iraqi Armed Forces

[Doritos11]

Next year’s orders as soon as the defence budget is settled will see the following orders :

24 AH 64 Apaches D/E
200-250 M2A2 BRADLEY ODS 'Desert storm version' ( equipped with TOW ATGW )
175 M1A1M
3 batteries I HAWK air defence maybe, strange considering the Russian deal has strong hints of S300.

Some billions are needed to fill up the tank & artillery shortage, if only the 20 billion to KRG could be cut by the dumb politicans and spent on Iraq’s defence.

Old Iraqi army

M4 or M-16 are pretty dependable, reliable since the US Armed forces use them.

I’d rather have FN SCAR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia together with all the modifications it has, ISOF ( special forces ) should adopt this and maybe replace all AK 47’s with it. The real benefit is that terrorists will have it harder when there aren’t many AK’s in Iraq, higher price, little ammo.

It’s used by high standard armies, better than buying some non tested weapon or the outdated M16 & M4.

The counter terrorist forces can use the 5.56mm version, the others 7.62mm, that keeps the high firepower.

قناصة العمليات الخاصة تقتل ١٧ ارهابي من عناصر داعش في صحراء الانبار في الساعات الماضية

Special forces snipers killed 17 ISIS terrorists in Anbar desert in the past hours, a large scale operation involving the MI35M and M1A1M Abrams has been launched after a deadly attack on an Iraqi army unit in the city of Al Rutbah.

Summary:

- Armed UAV’s are the best for counter terrorism operations in Iraq’s case, "There are 3 states that produce them : USA won't sell it, Israel we don't deal with, we are now looking at China and another country we're negotiating with".

- MI35M can attack targets day and night from 5km. you will see the result in the coming weeks.

- At first the US refused to sell us AH 64 Apaches, then when they saw us buy Russian aircraft they sold it to us. we're working on acquiring both ( MI 35M, MI 28 & APACHE ).

- Baghdad road blocks are being replaced by sonar tech.

Airstrike against Alqaeda camps in the desert of Anbar. Unfortunately many of them manged to escape. The aircraft type is a Cessna 208 which carries only two hellfire missiles. A good fleet of MI-28 would have been perfect to take out these rats one by one.

Tens of terrorists have crossed the border into Jordan and the KSA after being on the run for hours. Jordan has increased its patrols along the Iraqi border.
