Wrong. The 400 tanks offered to Greece were in the US.
We don’t have 400 tanks in Iraq - not since the original 2003 invasion. Also, domestic design tanks cannot be provided to Iraq because they have DU armor layer - so they would not be given to Iraq. [Greece, as a NATO member, is not so restricted.]
The EDA offer to Greece was to accelerate replacing the HA’s 1,067 M48/M60 Patton tanks. 350 of which Iraq has an option to buy. Those 350 Hellenic Army M60A3s are in storage in Greece ATT. Under the CFE treaty, the HA has to dispose of them as excess to treaty limits.
Those 350 M60A3s would double the IA’s tank count...

Thank you for the correction. Shame on me for getting my information from the MSM.
