Iraq is looking to spend upward of $206 million for 160 armored security vehicles as well as associated equipment and services, according to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
Iraq is seeking 160 M2 .50 caliber Machine Guns, 160 M1117 Armored Security Vehicles (ASVs), four Heavy Duty Recovery Trucks, 160 Harris Vehicular Radio Systems, 144 MK19 MOD3 40mm Grenade Machine Guns with Bracket, spare and repair parts, support equipment, publications and technical data, personnel training and training equipment, contractor engineering and technical support services, and other related elements of logistics support, DSCA said.
