Deputy Chairman of the Defense Committee Alexander Sherin confirmed the sale of Russian S-400s to Iraq.

Alexander Sherin, deputy chairman of the State Duma’s defense committee, in an interview with the FAN Russian media outlet, confirmed the intensification of negotiations on the sale of Russian S-400s to Iraq.

“They, apparently, just realized there that they are an occupied country that does not have the right to any independent actions. The attack on a high-ranking military leader on their own territory without any prior notice was a clear blow to their international authority. However, I can’t imagine how and through what accounts Iraq will pay us for weapons if the Americans freeze them all. And how they can technically ensure the transfer of the S-400 from Russia to themselves is also not entirely clear ”- said Sherin in an interview with the Federal News Agency.

It should be clarified that in addition to acquiring Russian S-400s, Baghdad also does not exclude the acquisition of Russian S-300 air defense systems, the latest upgraded versions of which are also very effective in the fight against any aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles, not to mention that such systems will be able to successfully repel ballistic missile attacks.
