Supply of weapons from Russia to Iraq.

On October 17, an adviser to the Prime Minister of Iraq announced that the supply of weapons from Russia had begun. The contract was signed on the basis of military-technical cooperation for $ 4.3 billion of the Russian Federation. The package agreement was signed back in 2012. Under the agreement, more than 10 Mi-28NE helicopters and sets of weapons will be delivered to Iraq.

"Indeed, there were suspicions about this contract, but prior to its implementation, agreements were reached between President Vladimir Putin and the Iraqi Prime Minister that it was necessary to review it in order to prevent any violations, so in the end the deal was signed. Time began the process of fulfilling one of the stages of this contract, "said al-Mousavi.

The contract mainly provides for the supply of weapons to solve problems with terrorists. Therefore, the delivery of helicopters will be carried out, which have shown themselves well in counter-terrorist operations.

In August 2013, Iraqi pilots completed a training course on Russian Mi helicopters.
