Iraq buys scrap metal rocket launchers from Rooshia
2015-01-14
On Sunday, the newspaper Vedomosti quoted sources in the Russian defense industry sector, that Russia in 2014 signed contracts to deliver a large batch of guns, rocket launchers and ammunition in the amount of one billion dollars to Iraq.

According to the newspaper, the contracts were signed during the visit of the Iraqi military delegation, headed by the Minister of Defense, Saadoun al-Dulaimi, to Russia in 2014.

The sources explained that Russia will supply to Iraq 2 or 3 systems of rocket launchers 'Grad' and a number of howitzers and a large number of mortars, in addition to four rocket launchers and flame throwers model 'Sulentsepyuk.'
Won't do any good if the men handling them aren't any good...
With the BM-27 you just have to get it in the right county.
Don't ever give it to the Gazans, then. They've a terrible record when it comes to actually hitting the country they aimed at.

#1  At last check, wid the ISIS/ISIL repor still expanding in Iraq despite the successful Coalition airstrikes, it would appear that the Iraqi Army-Govt are out to get help from any source.

Also, BAGHDAD is repor weighing a return to Universal/National Consciption, i.e. a new more larger-scale "Draft", to fill nadly-needed Fighting Manpower requirements vee the ISIS/ISIL + aligned.
