[size=35]Sumer News .. After the delay in the arrival of an American weapon and ammunition to Iraq, officials, leaders, political parties and Iraqi parliamentary blocs will return to talk and escalate once again regarding the issue of the Russian armament [/size][size=35].[/size][/size]
[size=35]The paper "Russian armament" first appeared after the aerial bombardment of camps for Iraqi armed factions within the "Popular Mobilization" in July 2019 .
[size=35]Baghdad accused the Israeli occupation of being behind it, and several political forces and leaders of armed factions called for the import of a monitoring and air defense system from Moscow to protect Iraqi airspace, accusing the United States of being behind the cover-up of the Zionist entity's penetration of Iraqi airspace and targeting the crowd camps.[/size]
[size=35]Returning to talk about the Russian S-300 or S-400 system this time, came after the delay in the arrival of ammunition, equipment and spare parts for American-made tanks, artillery, and light and medium weapons .[/size]
[size=35]Arms and equipment were supposed to arrive in Iraq since last month, according to an agreement within the Iraqi armament contracts with Washington, but its failure to arrive in conjunction with the recent tension between Iraq and the United States prompted Iraqi officials and politicians to raise a question about whether this was the start of sanctions American President Donald Trump waved about Iraq, or it was an American attempt to blackmail Iraq .[/size]
[size=35]Iraq relies on American weapons in more than 65 percent of the army's arsenal, and if the Iraqis insist on removing the American forces and stop supplying them with American spare parts, these weapons will become almost idle.[/size]
[size=35]Badr Al-Ziyadi, a member of the Iraqi Parliament’s Security and Defense Committee, stated earlier that the caretaker head had supported the orientation of sending a senior delegation to several countries, most notably Russia and various European and Asian countries, in order to contract to purchase advanced air defense weapons .[/size]
[size=35]He pointed out that the delegation is a joint of the executive and legislative authorities and a number of military experts to contract to purchase advanced weapons away from the United States of America.[/size]
[size=35]A senior Iraqi official in Baghdad revealed that "the recent meeting of the National Security Council, which includes the Prime Minister, the Ministers of Defense, the Interior, National Security, Intelligence, and the Chief of Staff of the Army, focused on the issue of the delayed commitment of the Americans in the issue of the program of maintaining and equipping armored brigades with the Iraqi army, as well as a squadron of F- fighters. " 16 " , as well as the Americans' delay in equipping Iraq with modern surveillance, surveillance and air defense systems."[/size]
[size=35]He stressed that "the council dealt with the danger of the United States stopping supplying Iraqi forces with ammunition and spare parts for the American weapon used in the Iraqi army and other security formations."[/size]
[size=35]He added that "several ideas have been put forward, including that the orientation towards Russia, China and Ukraine, through an official delegation, be to see what weapons and air defense systems can be obtained, and this proposal is supported by the political forces closest to Iran."[/size]
[size=35]He considered that "the current trend is considered a new escalation from Iraq and may cause the suspension of all forms of military cooperation with Washington, and the damage in the Iraqi military establishment will be very great, and the thought of re-equipping the army again from countries other than the United States requires tens of billions of dollars, which can be considered Impossible today. "[/size]
[size=35]He revealed that Iraq is currently seeking to distance the military arming file between it and the United States from any problem or other file, as it relates to the war on terrorism and affects the security of the Iraqi citizen .[/size]
[size=35]The former head of the Security and Defense Committee, Hakim al-Zamili, said that Iraq’s current problem with America is that it has started to pressure Iraq on the issue of armaments, and has begun linking the armament and equipment to the political side, and this constitutes a threat and an imbalance to the security establishment .[/size]
[size=35]He explained that the United States is obstructing the delivery of F-16 aircraft, missiles, weapons and weapons, which is causing suffering to the Ministry of Defense .[/size]
[size=35]He explained that "Washington feels that Iraq is turning to another axis hostile to it, which certainly affects everything, but Iraq is now forced to go towards Russia and China, because America has begun to deal with Iraq with duplication, and it has not respected the agreements and the privacy and sovereignty of Iraq."[/size]
[size=35]Member of the Security and Defense Committee in the Iraqi parliament, Saad Al-Halfi, said that the United States does not want Iraq to obtain a modern air defense system to protect its airspace, pointing to the need to go to other countries such as Russia, China or European countries to obtain it .[/size]
[size=35]And he considered that the United States violated the security cooperation agreement signed with Iraq regarding supplying it with whatever weapon it wants, and therefore it is necessary to speed up the armament of others, in order to preserve the sovereignty of Iraq and the safety of its airspace first, because of the continuing violations, "as he put it .[/size]
[size=35]Meanwhile, the Iraqi security expert, Ali Al-Taie, considered heading towards other countries to arm "a new suicide", pointing out that the United States notified Iraq several times about the issue of American weapons leaking to militias, including shields and specific weapons.[/size]
[size=35]He added that the United States "demanded that Iraq restrict its weapons to the Iraqi army, so we can not only link this American delay or procrastination to the political issue, but also there is an important security split related to the access of pro-Iranian parties to American military technologies."[/size]
[size=35]He explained that Iraq cannot change the backbone of arming the army within two or even five years, stressing that the talk about an armament from other countries is an attempt to blackmail Washington, or even to break the current waiting state from the delay of some American military materials.[/size]
