Kurdistan Army has also many tanks of t-72

my dad told me , the day (emna suraka) was captured by Peshmerga , they burned almost 70 tanks and 650 IRAQI fuckers were killed and executed by Peshmerga
he said we have caputred the rest of the tanks , many of them weir t-72 and , he was talking about 150 tanks
he said that day , we talked about to make Amna suraka a place like a museum and they putted the wreaked tanks their to Show the world what Peshmerga can do

yes,we did capture lots of T-72s. but the question is,are they still operational?
and even if they were,they would be obsolete. they are asad babils. it is a heavily downgraded version of the T-72.
i would rather see our T-62s being upgraded to T-62M (or even better,T-55/62AGMs) than see our forces with Asad babils.
T-62M:

A government statement issued on Sunday quoted Deputy Prime Minister Imad Ahmed while visiting members of the Peshmarga stationed near Kirkuk. He said: "We are seeking to unify the Peshmarga forces and pay more attention to training and armament."

Ahmed was speaking during a Ramadan banquet held yesterday at the barracks of the first regiment of infantry, accompanied by the Minister of Peshmerga Jafar Mustafa stationed near Kirkuk.

Ahmed said the Kurdish authorities "consider themselves responsible for providing security and stability for all areas disputed between Erbil and Baghdad”.

any Kurd regardless of which artificial border he is located at can join the kurdistan army Peshmerga, they must pass the above requirements i mentioned above but i have heard there are exemptions i am not sure what they might be, if any of you interested pay a visit to KRG-Peshemrga ministry in Erbil (i have the address if any1 interested) and find out what are the requirements to join the Peshmerga. i am sure they will gladly hand you over the submission form and off you go, it is an attractive payroll of you ask me and you get bonuses.

How about kurds who have lived abroad for some years? Many kurds would like to join peshmerga with their skills if Tikriti do some moves.

[alan131210]

kak burress in case of war all kurds will become a peshmerga no doubt, but for now the unified brigades are the official army of kurdistan excluding party armed forces of course, and they will join too. but the unified are trained, equipped and ready to fate death as their names pronounces.
