The price quoted by Mr. Ricklefs – $3.36 billion – is to include ammunition, support, spares and training. However, other contracts are tips.
Indeed, Norman Ricklefs also indicated that the Iraqi Ministry of Defense was in the process of studying a French offer concerning 20 drones - the type of which was not specified - and that it would soon send a delegation to France to evaluate the proposed system.
According to an interview given to the Iraqi news agency by General Qasim al-Muhammadi, the chief of staff of the Iraqi ground forces, it would probably be Patroller tactical drones.
"Iraq is negotiating numerous contracts, including for armed drones capable of flying for 30 hours in Iraqi airspace, destroying targets and constantly monitoring various regions, with proven capability and effectiveness", had -he says.
