DSCA NOTIFICATION!!!
Just like the ones before! It is simply a “notification of interest” and gives congress 30 days or something to block it. As it says on the links themselves.
Once you get a DOD contract, then you have the actual CONTRACT and the “real” value 😉
You will be able to find the ACTUAL CONTRACTS here. http://www.defense.gov/contracts/archive.aspx
no 175 Abrams, no 200 Bradleys, no 50 NBC strykers, no 16 AB412s ever got contracted despite their DSCA notifications… so lets see if any of these DSCA notifications ever become actual contracts. I wonder if russia can offer anything in lieu of the AT6C texans? because sadly the IAI/Elbit electronics and systems preclude the purchase of super tucanos. If only a “new” SU25 variant was in production 🙁
Dude
Calm down and easy with the happy faces.
I know what a DSCA notification is, and did read it all. However, you say there is no deal on the cards regarding more US equipment. Would Iraq or the DSCA make these requests if there was no Iraqi interest in aqquiring these weapons? We surely assume there must be, and as this is obviously after the Russian arms deals, it proves that your assumption that further deals are not on the cards is simply not true. Should the contracts for the notifications get signed then you will have proven to be wrong and by the looks of things, the above notifications indicate there is still very strong interest in Iraq purchasing more weaponry.
