Russia Offers Iraq S-400 Air Defense System To Protect Airspace by Blindersoff(op): 5:00pm On Jan 07, 2020

BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:00 A.M.) – Russia has offered Iraq their S-400 air defense system to protect their airspace, RIA Novosti reported this week, citing the Russian Ministry of Defense.

According to the report, the Iraqi military may purchase the Russian S-400 system after it was offered to them to “ensure the country’s sovereignty and reliable protection of airspace.”



“Iraq is a partner of Russia in the field of military-technical cooperation, and the Russian Federation can supply the necessary funds to ensure the sovereignty of the country and reliable protection of airspace, including the supply of S-400 missiles and other components of the air defense system, such as Buk-M3, Tor -M2 “and so on,” a member of the Public Council for the Russian Ministry of Defense said, as quoted by Avia.Pro.

Experts reportedly drew attention to the fact that a few months ago, Iraq was seriously mulling the possibility of acquiring the Russian air defense system; however, they reportedly backed off after pressure from the U.S.


If Iraq were to acquire the S-400 system, however, they would be the second country in the Middle East to have this air defense equipment in their arsenal

Whether there’s 3rd world war or not is not even the issue. The issue on ground is this,


If you’ve ever been resident in Lagos, kindly spare 3 minutes to respond to this mini-survey. It’s about our attempt to solve the general cost and value problem in transportation in Nigeria, especially in Lagos. Thanks.

There is more to all this than meets the eye. In 2015 Russia committed to share intelligence with Iraq, iran, Lebanon and Syria and this was aimed at fighting ISIS as a team.

Russia was an ally based on this and they presented this to the UN security council and at the same meeting U.S. Central Command confirmed that a Syrian rebel commander who recently completed the U.S. train-and-equip program did in fact turn over U.S. supplied equipment to Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate. The equipment included six trucks and ammunition supplies approximately 25 percent of the equipment provided by the coalition to the group of rebels. The rebel commander said it was given to an intermediary for Jabhat al-Nusra in exchange for safe passage and that the rebels still possess their U.S.provided weapons.

US has been the weapon sponsor of terrorism in the middle east and this excuse above was just a cover up for what they actually did. They did it knowingly and not in error.

USA is a criminally minded country who only thrive off conflict and wars. Without wars USA cannot grow. What was a rebel doing being trained by USA and for what purpose?

The irony is that this same clown critisize bush in 2003 for sending Americans to war in Iraq. He did same to Obama. And now he's doing what he critisized both men for. The Republicans have shown over and over to be war mongers compared to their Democrats counterpart. They are greedy, bullies, dictators and terrorists.

Trump wont like this at all, at all, Iraq wants US troops out of their country and Russia is already offering Air Defense system to shoot down any stupid over priced US drone

Isreal President just issued out a statement that it has no intrest in going to war, and barred its information minister on issuing statement on Suliemani's murder

Buying this weapon will be the wisest decision the Iraqi govt will make till date.

With this weapon no one can export democracy to Iraq again and her people can have peace once again.
