Iraq seeks to buy 36 F-16 fighters from U.S

Fri Sep 5, 5:32 AM ET

(Reuters) - The Iraqi government is seeking to buy 36 advanced F-16 fighters from the U.S., American military officials familiar with the request told the Wall Street Journal.


This move could help Iraq reduce its reliance on U.S. air power and potentially allow more American forces to withdraw from the country than had been proposed.

The F-16, made by Lockheed Martin Corp, is the most sophisticated weapons system Iraq has attempted to purchase so far.

Late in July, the U.S. Department of Defense had approved up to $10.7 billion in arms sales for Iraq, including a $2.16 billion sale of M1A1 Abrams tanks built by General Dynamics Corp.

The U.S. recently announced F-16 sales to Morocco and Romania. Those sales, each for roughly $100 million per plane with training, related equipment and support included, offer an indication of how lucrative the Iraq deal could be for Lockheed Martin and its suppliers.

Iraq now appears determined to significantly expand the air power of its military, which has become more competent and confident in recent months but depends heavily on the U.S. for air support.

Iraq quickly has become one of the biggest weapons buyers in the world as it seeks to strengthen and professionalise its fighting force.

No one was available at the U.S. Department of Defense for comment.

L'Irak achète 25 Husky 2G pour l'ouverture d'itinéraires minés



En France, on l'appelle le Souvim. Mais, au Canada, aux USA, au Royaume-Uni, en Australie, en Angola, au Kenya, en Ouganda, en Espagne et en Turquie, c'est toujours le nom de Husky qui est conservé. A la liste des acheteurs s'ajoute désormais l'Irak.

Le 19 février, Critical Solutions International (CSI) a annoncé que le ministère irakien de la défense avait acheté 25 exemplaires du Husky 2G comme système d'ouverture d'itinéraire miné. Voir le communiqué de presse ici.

Ce contrat de 73 millions de dollars, CSI va l'honorer avec son partenaire sud-africain DCD Protected Mobility qui détient le brevet de ce type d'équipement. DCD emploie 1600 personnes en Afrique du Sud et a développé une gamme robuste de véhicules spécialisés.

250 Swedish military vehicles BMP-1 / Pbv 501 sold to Iraq

Citation :

Two-hundred-fifty Swedish tanks of the type BMP-1 are secretly being shipped to Iraq, Swedish Radio News reveals. It is illegal in Sweden to export weapons to Iraq, but the tanks are being sold via a company in the Czech Republic.


In 2010, the Swedish Defence Material Administration, FMV, sold 350 light tanks to a state-run Czech company. The vehicles were no longer needed by the Swedish armed forces, and the Czechs said they were going to be used by the Czech army. That is according to the person at FMV who was in charge of the sale.
"They were exchanging parts of their own fleet and were going to use the rest for spare parts," Jan Villaume at FMV tells Swedish Radio News. "They seemed serious. We had no reason not to believe them."
But the state-run company turned out to be a middleman for the private Czech company Excalibur, which will now sell on 250 of the BMD-tanks to Iraq.
Andrej Cirtec is the spokesperson for Excalibur army. He does not know whether anyone told the Swedes about the export plans, but he admits that the state-run Czech company was used as a middleman:
"The word middleman is pretty right, but I ask, what is wrong with this?"
The problem is that due to the Swedish export rules, FMV wouldn't have sold the weapons to the Czech Republic if they had known the end customer was Iraq. They wouldn't even have sold them if they had known that the private company Excalibur was the buyer.
"We were informed by them too that they were interested, and we told them that we cannot sell to them, since they are a private company," Jan Villaume at FMV tells Swedish Radio News.
In Sweden, the current, as well as the previous, government have said no to weapons export to Iraq. But as it is formally the Czech Republic that is selling the vehicles, there is nothing Sweden can do.
"We clearly wouldn't have made the deal directly with Iraq, so it is now an indirect deal. It seems legal, but is not so good," says Jan Villaume at FMV.
According to Pieter Wiezeman at the peace research institute SIPRI, which publishes a yearbook on weapons sales around the world, the Swedes have been naive.
"Realistically, I think that they should have known that these tanks probably were not meant for the Czech Republic. They should have investigated this more carefully, that would have been very easy to do," says Wiezeman.
Swedish Radio News asks Wiezeman: "If they had asked you, you would have said that the tanks were not for the Czech army?"
"I would have said: don't sell to such a company, because I am guessing they will sell it on to a country that Sweden would not want to sell to," says Pieter Wiezeman.

NCACC chair Jeff Radebe delivered the 2014 report to Parliament this week, which covers arms exports and imports from January to December. It revealed that South Africa’s defence industry exported 326 armoured vehicles (mainly armoured personnel carriers) to nearly two dozen countries last year, as well as four mine detection vehicles to Iraq. The biggest buyers were Burkina Faso (31 vehicles), Guinea (32 vehicles), Niger (21 vehicles), Saudi Arabia (100 vehicles), Senegal (39 vehicles) and the United Arab Emirates (26). These vehicles sales amounted to more than R810 million.

Prague Approves Warplanes Sale to Iraq to Fight Jihadists



The Czech government on Monday approved the sale of 15 combat and training L-159 jets to help Baghdad fight the jihadist Islamic State group, the defense minister told reporters.

"We are looking at a total of 15 warplanes, four of which come from the Czech air force, while 11 others come from surplus stock," Martin Stropnicky said.

"The total cost is 750 million koruna (27.5 million euros; $30 million)," the minister added.

Thirteen jets are single-seaters, and two have room for a co-pilot.

The contract with Baghdad, whose troops have faced a major jihadist onslaught since June, also envisages the sale of ground equipment, weapons and ammunition.

Aircraft manufacturer Aero Vodochody made 72 L-159 jets for the Czech army in the 1990s, for 51 billion koruna (1.8 billion euros).

Because of budget cuts, the air force has only held on to some 30 jets since.

The L-159 is equipped with air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles. Some 80 percent of its parts are foreign-made, mainly in the United States.

In 2012, Iraq said it was interested in buying 28 L-159 jets. Although Baghdad and Prague signed a contract, the sale never actually took place.

Last year, Prague delivered ammunition worth 1.5 million euros to Iraqi Kurds fighting the IS group.

The warplanes sale "is intended for the same purpose," said Stropnicky.

Czech firm Excalibur last month said it had agreed to sell Baghdad 100 T-72 tanks and BVP-1 military vehicles.

In June last year, IS launched a lightning offensive in Iraq, taking over large swathes of the country, including second city Mosul.

It has declared an Islamic "caliphate" stretching from Syria into Iraq, sowing terror among people living in areas under its control.
