Iraq to receive ‘large batch’ of advanced Russian T-90 battle tanks

‘A senior Kremlin official says the Iraqi military is going to receive “a large batch” of advanced Russian-made T-90 battle tanks later this year under a major deal struck between Moscow and Baghdad.
The Russian presidential aide for military-technical cooperation, Vladimir Kozhin, told Izvestia daily broadsheet newspaper that “a significant contract for a large batch” of T-90 tanks has been signed between the Iraqi government and Russian manufacturer Uralvagonzavod.
Kozhin did not disclose any information about the price of the deal, but said “the number [of tanks] is substantial.”
Earlier, Uralvagonzavod announced that it is going to deliver 73 T-90S and T-90SK tanks to the Iraqi military this year.
The T-90 is a third-generation Russian battle tank built upon the time-proven Soviet T-72 design. It is among the best-selling tanks in the world, and known for its firepower, enhanced protection and mobility.’
