Der Irak beabsichtigt, französische Rafale-Kampfjets zu kaufen. Ein Berater des Premierministers , Hussein Allawi, enthüllte, dass der Irak französische Rafale-Kampfjets kaufen will, um die irakische Luftflotte auszubauen.

Hussein Allawi sagte in einer Pressemitteilung, gefolgt von "Al-Naeem News", dass "Premierminister Muhammad Shia' al-Sudani die Absicht hat", die irakische Luftflotte mit fortschrittlichen Rafale-Flugzeugen auszubauen, da sich die finanziellen Kapazitäten des Irak weiterentwickelt haben und die militärische Notwendigkeit dieser Flugzeuge besteht, um die Reste der Terrorgruppe ISIS in offenen und landwirtschaftlich genutzten Gebieten zu verfolgen.

Iraq announces start of VN22 armoured vehicle production

Iraq's state-owned defence industry has said it has begun producing Norinco VN22 6×6 armoured vehicles.

The Defence Industry Commission of Iraq (DICI) posted a video on its Facebook page on 1 April in which engineer Mustafa Ati Hassan, the president of the Military Industrialization Authority, stood next to a VN22 to announce the start of production of a 6×6 vehicle he did not name at the Al-Rabie factory, which is in southeast Baghdad. He provided no further details of the programme, with the video showing a production line for 4×4 light armoured vehicles, not the VN22.

Norinco unveiled the VN22 in 2021, with an Arabic-language brochure released the following year saying it has a combat weight of 25 tonnes when fitted with a remotely operated 30 mm weapon station, which leaves space for eight dismounts in addition to three crew members. The brochure says the vehicle has Level 14 ballistic protection (up to 14.5 mm rounds under the VPAM standard) and Level 4A and 4B landmine protection.
