Iraq received about ten warplanes from Russia, in line with previous armament contracts, the defense ministry of the conflict-torn country announced on Sunday.

Another three Sukhoi strike fighters have been delivered to Iraq recently, spokesman for the Iraqi Defense Ministry Nasir Nouri Mohammed al Tamimi said.

Two batches of Mil Mi-28 attack helicopter - each including from three to four jets - have been delivered as well, the spokesman added.

Hailing the delivery of the warplanes, Tamimi said that it would have a decisive role in its war against Daesh terrorists.
