Iraq has reportedly requested the M-SAM-II air and ballistic missile defense system from South Korea in a potential $2.56-billion deal.
Eight M-SAM-II batteries have been included in Baghdad’s wish list to be delivered on an “urgent” basis, according to a report by Army Recognition, citing a person familiar with the request.
Iraq’s planned acquisition comes more than a month after it announced it is again shopping for new air defense systems, for which Seoul is a preference.
