An Iraqi armored brigade is trading its American M1A1 Abrams tanks for the Russian T-90S main battle tank — possibly for geopolitical reasons.
The swap comes after U.S. officials complained that Abrams tanks ended up in the hands of Iranian-backed militias, and may be an avenue through which Russia is attempting to gain more influence in the region.
"I think the move was at least partly motivated by smoothing over that issue,” said James Phillips, a senior research fellow for Middle Eastern affairs at the Heritage Foundation.
“But also it was a pointed reminder that the [United States] does not have a monopoly on tanks, and that Iraq can get them from Russia, as well,” he added. “This diminishes U.S. leverage and increases Baghdad’s options in the future."
The deal began earlier this year, when Russian state media reported that the first delivery of roughly 35 Russian tanks had arrived in February, and another batch of more than 30 additional tanks would arrive in late April.
That second delivery appeared to be confirmed last week, when the Iraqi Ministry of Defense posted an Arabic-language video showcasing the new T-90S tanks.
Iraqi Chief of General Staff Osman Ganimi said the contract for the tanks would help with “increasing combat capacity of armored troops,” according to Russian state media.
Iraqi military officials announced the tanks are going to two battalions within the 9th Armored Division, 35th Mechanized Brigade, according to a translation of the video by Military Times staff.
The remaining Abrams tanks were redistributed over the 34th Armored Brigade, also within the same division.
The deal was initiated at a time when as many as nine M1A1 Abrams tanks fell into the hands of Iranian-backed militias, known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF, which are primarily Shiite units connected to Iran but permitted to fight by the Iraqi government.
Eric Pahon, a Pentagon spokesman, told Military Times in February that the U.S. military does not provided defense equipment to the PMF....

https://www.blogbeforeflight.net/2018/0 ... a.html?m=1IRAQ RECEIVES NEW BATCH OF T-50 FIGHTER JETS Iraqi Air Force (IqAF) received a new batch of six KAI T-50IQ Golden Eagle light combat aircraft from South Korea, June 6, 2018.
According to the air force statement, the aircraft landed in a military airbase in Baghdad.
This is the fourth batch of T-50 delivered to the Iraqi AF. The delivery is included in a contract signed 5 years ago.
In December 2013, Iraq purchased 24 South Korean T-50IQ fighter jets, plus additional equipment and pilot training over 20 years.
T-50IQ is an Iraqi Air Force version of the FA-50 light attack variant of the KAI T-50 Golden Eagle supersonic advanced trainer jet.
The T-50 is South Korea’s first indigenous supersonic aircraft and one of the world’s few supersonic trainers. It was developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) together with Lockheed Martin.

Re: Armée Irakienne
C'est ridicule,le 122mm sur camion de la bcl est une oeuvre vis à vis de cela,les irakiens avec l'aide de Bull sous Sadam fabriquaient des pièces de plus de 200mm sur roue qui étaient à la pointe de la technologie.
Re: Armée Irakienne
Un prototype a été commencé mais jamais terminé. Jamais fabriqué en série. Faudra réviser
