Default Re: New Iraqi equipment

I know this doesn't matter in terms of SP's scope, but the variety of AK pattern weapons that have been seen in Iraq in use officially is pretty impressive. They've obviously either been donated by former East Bloc NATO members or purchased and then donated by the US, because in the mix one has seen Romanian and even East German produced AKs (these recognizable from their unique "stubbled" plastic stocks).

One also saw what could be considered really old Soviet style equipment in the form of early model T-55s and IIRC T-62s.

The largest usage of US-made equipment by the Iraqi forces has been their usage of HMMWVs.
