Mech Platoon (Iraq)

Mech Platoon
Includes four AK-47 Assault Rifle Teams, three RPG-7, four medium four-hole bases and three small two-hole bases.

Iraqi mechanised infantry are also mounted in a number of other vehicles other than the BMP-1. These come from a variety of sources. Iraq purchased vehicles from whoever were willing to supply them. These motorised infantry battalions’ war-fighting remained firmly rooted in Soviet doctrine. Much of their infantry equipment and weapons remained Soviet types, with the occasional exception.
