The Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee confirmed today, Tuesday, that Iraq has concluded multiple contracts to enhance the capabilities of the Army and the Air Force.

The head of the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, Muhammad Rida Al Haider, said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that "An Iraqi delegation went to Russia, headed by the Air Defense Commander, to discuss the contract to purchase the S-300 missile system, but the discussion about this matter had stopped."

Al Haider pointed out that "Iraq has previous contracts with Russia about equipping an armored brigade considering the Iraqis' experience mostly with Russian weapons, especially armor.”
