Iraq threatened to shoot down Turkish F-16 fighters with Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile systems

The Iraqi President demanded that Turkey immediately stop the Turkish military operation in the country.

After Turkey arbitrarily launched a military operation against the Kurds on the territory of Iraq, the President of this Middle Eastern country reacted rather harshly to Erdogan's actions, and the Iraqi defense ministry threatened to use the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and cannon systems previously purchased from Russia. against the F-16 fighters and Bayraktar TB2 drones used by Turkey.

The Iraqi President threatened Turkey with very serious measures, which, by the way, may be due to Ankara's uncontrolled strikes on facilities located in Iraq, in particular, it became known earlier that the Turkish military purposefully launched air strikes on the refugee camp.

Today, Iraq is armed with several Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile systems, which have demonstrated high efficiency against the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones, although earlier official Baghdad did not interfere with the actions of the Turkish military and did not interfere in Turkish military operations on the territory of its country.
