The Iraqi intelligence uncovered a small weapons cache containing anti-aircraft missiles near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on June 10.
“The Military Intelligence Directorate, Division 20, in cooperation with the 1st Brigade Intelligence Brigade, 21 Infantry Brigade, found a weapons cache in the Adayta Mountains, southwest of Mosul,” an Iraqi security source said in a press release.
The weapons cache contained at least two Soviet-made Strela-2 man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) along with two mortar cannons and several shells.

ISIS used similar MANPADs during the battle of Mosul between 2016 and 2017. The terrorist group’s fighters managed to shoot down several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and at least one helicopter of the Iraqi military with this type of missiles.
These Soviet-made missiles were likely looted from the former Iraqi Army’s depots following the 2003 US-led invasion of the country, which lead to a state of chaos.
Despite being outdated and having a limited range of around 4km, Strela-2 MANPADs remain a serious security threat.

Now iraqis become Serious Army.. SAA should look up to them
excuse me but it was SAA that liberated most of syria, not iraqi army, although PMU did help alot
As I recall there was lots of Iran backed forces,Hezbollah and god Know how much did russians Help.. I cant believe percent of incompetence and failure this time.. Like Wtf..And wtf you have air support when those jihad scum droves on open fields?!?!
maybe you should go teach them a few things then?
the pathetic part about the SAA is that the Iranains tryed and failed and it seems that the Russians have tryed and failed as well. This is a universal trait of all arab army’s i mean look at the saudis they make the exact same mistakes as the Syrians beeing incompetant idiots is in their arab blood.
Hahahaha oh really? Tell me then which arab army is having more successful? Saudi shitheads or battle hardened SAA?
Lol ” battle hardened SAA” are about as succsessfull as the Saudis. Without Russia and Iran the SAA wold have been gone by now and that is a fact. They are to unproffesional and incompetant to fight on their own.
You are so wrong and stupid
How am i wrong? And what did i say that was stupid? Proof me wrong if the SAA was so good they wont need Iran and Russia to do its job for it.
IRA and russia offered to help, Syria invited them, is syria supposed to do all the fighting itself? Howabout its enemies? You have US, UK, FRANCE, TURKEY, ISRHAELL ALL SUPPORTING THE TERRORISTS YPU DUMB.MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!
And so what? They are still millita. the SAA is pathetic the fact they need fully military support form Iran and air support from Russia proofs this.
hahaha look at your terrorist rat buddies, you think they would ahve survived without turkey and US and israhell and NATO? get the fuck outta here
considering how incompetant the SAA is yes and they did. the US only started supporting terror groops in 2013.
the war started in 2011, wrong again bucko, why dont you get off this site and rethink your life?
…thats my point the SAA lost to unsupported terrorists…that is pathetic the US only started to support them in 2013 2 years after it started…and in 2015 they almost got overran but Russia saved their asses. I am sorry but that is a fact the SAA are idiots they cant even defeat some rag tag militants in Idleb and these idiots want to take on the IDF…..
Oh shut the fuck up, I bet you wouldn’t last a second fighting those pathetic terrorists, u would get ur head blown off immediately gahahaha
If i am backed up by incompetant idiots like the SAA ofc i will their is no sutch thing as a 1 man army.
THEYD SHOOT U ON SIGHT!!! LOL
That wont suprise me at all they do have the average IQ of a baboon so they fear logic and reason. But they dont need me they dont need anyone since they are hopeless.

Thats good to know I guess, who do u work for then?
My fucking family who else.
what? they are fucking? lmao
Ether you are a arab inbreed yourself or you have the IQ of one.
no im the smartest sexiest boy in town
Another dumb American weighs in with useless insight
Useless? m8 you are to dumb to realise that the SAA are the useless ones without Russia and Iran they are nothing.
Those religious towel heads in combat seem rather useless at trying to take over a country and thankfully Assad has a sense of strategy and with some help is ridding the country of these parasites. In the time of those who are easily duped by misinformation never trust an American for their opinion when it comes to world events,
And what dose that have to do with the fact the SAA are useless witout Russian and Iranian help?
It exposes you Dan as a man that not informed
Yes he is, a typical dumb thick American
And without outside intervention by means of arming, funding, training and transporting religious foreign zealots the SAA would have had no war and yet still was able to contain these CIA/UK/France/Saudi/ Zionuts interventionists
Ummm no they did not if Russia and Iran did not intervene assad wold be haning from a flag pole by now.
The point is the USA/UK/Saudi/ Turkey/UAE/ Israeli armed, funded, trained outside mercenaries failed. Lost are kaput. Victory goes to Assad and to balance it out Iran and Russia aided but SAA forces did most of the difficult fighting. The people of Syria overwhelmingly support Assad over foreign opposition. Another nail in the coffin of the American empire
…..is that why assade called for help…cuz they had it in the bag? Are you retarded? The SAA got its ass kicked by mercenaries…..let that sink in…
Another stupid conclusion that never would have happened from another poorly informed American twit.
oh yes its not like assad was begging for help form Russia or anyting…
Like Them I’m not military expert.. And your’e dumb as fuck.. You enjoy watching your people die for nothing? What kind of sick fuck are u?
my people? i enjoy watching rats die, and dont see anything wrong with that :)
Yes If are You Syrian.. I’m enjoying watching rats die too, but Hate seeing SAA army took so much loses.. That was my post all about!!! There is almost unlimited supply of rats,and Don’t know how many people SAA can afford to loose.. If I critique SAA it’s only because I care..
i hate seeing them take losses too, but there is no doubt in my mind SAA will prevail
why do you think so?? everybody are against them, they ditched hezbollah,Russia is playing their ovn games.. They have just half of country.. Thing aren’t looking good..
And its looking good for the rats? LOL!!! Get ur head outta ur ass idiot
