Iraq is significantly modernizing its helicopter fleet and air defense

Middle East columnist and freelance journalist Paul Edon has published a paper in Forbes magazine titled "Iraq is significantly modernizing its helicopter fleet and air defense."

And Dr. Nasr Muhammad Ali, a member of the IraqCopy publishing team, translated this article and published it in the new publication number 55.

Executive Summary:

The helicopter arsenal of the Iraqi Army Aviation Command consists exclusively of Russian-made Mi-28N and Mi_35NS aircraft.

And so Baghdad's decision to replace these aircraft with their Western counterparts will be noteworthy. The deployment of H225Ms field aircraft along with Bell medium-lift helicopters would enable Iraq to continue sending troops to fight ISIS militants and raid their rural camps.

And that capability will remain vital for Baghdad, where U.S. forces supporting its ongoing campaign against ISIS are expected to be significantly reduced over the next two years.
