Iraq plans to buy Russian S-400 missiles due to helplessness of American counterparts

The online publication “Phoenix” published data that foreign experts were able to discover in

There are quite large shortcomings in the defense complex of the US armed forces. In this regard, Iraq also intends to purchase Russian S-400 missiles.

It's about the American missile defense system“Patriot”, which repeatedly failed. So, in August 2019, the Saudi oil refinery, which was under the cover of this particular defense system, was attacked by unmanned aerial vehicles, as a result of which at least several dozen missiles reached their target. This incident led to a sharp reduction in oil production in the country as much as half! The last case, in which the vaunted “Patriot” proved to be not the best side - the case of attacks by the armed forces of Iran. Then 11 of the 15 Iranian missiles achieved their goals in the face of US military bases in Iraq.

Now, according to recent data, not onlyTurkey and India, but also Iraq, are negotiating with the Russian side on the purchase of the S-400 air defense system. The most interesting thing is that Iraq is the country in which American military bases are located. How the United States will react to such an initiative by the Iraqi authorities will become known in the very near future.
