In the midst of the shelling against the people in the Anbar Province, Iraq’s diplomatic sources reported that Russia has given 56 Russian-made armored personnel carriers and war cannons to the Maliki government through the Om al-Qasr Port.
These Russian-made equipments include 24 war cannons and 32 APCs. Last week, Iraq’s Ministry of Defense had reported the entrance of Russian-made MA-35 Helicopters from the Om al-Qasr Port.
