The Iraqi Ministry of Defense is reported to be seeking military cooperation with several allied countries, especially France, to strengthen its air defense capabilities.
In this regard, a high-ranking officer from the Iraqi Air Defense Command (IADC) was quoted as saying that the agreement with the French defense company Thales Group to procure 6 ground-based radars, including 4 long-range Ground Master-403 (GM-403) is the stepping stone toward further cooperation.
Tactical Report has prepared a 246-word report to shed more light on Iraq's plan concerning air defense cooperation with France.
