Totally agree
The HQ-9B should be bought with its complimenting HQ-16 medium range ADS and the short range HQ-6A in both components; short range missile and AAA.

The pantsir s1 should be left for point defense at key areas (if it's deal is still on going, which I doubt)

all the Pantsirs have been delivered. I believe 53 launch units with 48 live. Each launch unit is a complete TELAR able to cover a 20km radius.

the official facebook page of General Emad Al Zuhairi mentioned in passing that Iraq's order for equipping 4 armoured and mechanised divisions with weapons from China were cancelled by parliament and he bitterly accused parliament of being traitors working for neighbouring countries. He called on for the establishment of a separate fund for weapons purchases independent from parliament... (won't happen).
