Estonia donating arms to Iraqi forces
Zachary Fryer-Biggs, Washington, DC - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
22 July 2015
Estonia has donated a range of small arms, ammunition, and mortars to Iraq's armed forces, the Estonian Department of Defence announced on 22 July.
Twelve 120 mm mortars, 140 light machine guns, 66 Chinese manufactured AK-56 assault rifles, and other arms were set to be delivered along with 21,000 rounds of ammunition.
US Central Command is in charge of managing the distribution of the arms.
It is not the first donation of arms from Estonia, which contributed ammunition in 2014 and rifles in 2005.
