So as you saw in future iraqi army should be armed not only in Western arms but use only modernised and used ex-soviet weapons because is cheap and not so bad. Many ex-soviet satelites like poland in NATO use this weapons and are richest than iraq. Because change all weapons in all army is a very expensive task.

Besides, the Iraqi veterans, official or not, are much more used to Soviet-style weapons and systems since they have been mainly running on these for more than rwenty years at least.
And it seems that they have pushed this requirement forward to their government and the CPA.
