Iraq strengthens air defense capabilities, secures borders, says military spox, 6 OCT

 ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Major General Yehia Rasool, spokesperson for the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, announced on Saturday that Iraq has taken all necessary measures to secure its airspace.

He emphasized that Iraq now has the capability to monitor and track incoming and outgoing aircraft, further bolstering the country’s defense.

Speaking to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Rasool highlighted that the Iraqi government, under the leadership of Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudani, has prioritized the development of Iraq’s air defense system.

“A contract was signed with South Korea several months ago to acquire an advanced air defense system, although it will take time to fully implement,” Rasool said.

While acknowledging that Iraq’s airspace is not yet fully secured, Rasool stressed that all essential steps have been taken to ensure its protection. He pointed to Iraq’s enhanced capability to monitor its airspace and manage aircraft traffic.

Rasool also mentioned the integration of advanced Korean-made X-16 and K-50 aircraft, along with transport and reconnaissance planes, as key components of Iraq’s air defense.

 "These assets have strengthened the Iraqi air force and contribute significantly to safeguarding Iraq’s sovereignty," he added.

Addressing the issue of border security, Major General Rasool confirmed that Iraqi borders, particularly those shared with Syria, are well-secured.

He highlighted the deployment of Iraqi border forces, reinforced by thermal cameras and surveillance equipment, to maintain vigilance.

“The military leadership has placed great importance on securing Iraq’s borders,” Rasool said, noting that the army is positioned behind the borders, along with five lines of border forces.

 These units conduct qualitative and preemptive operations based on intelligence, employing ambush tactics and precise monitoring to ensure security.

Iraq to launch electronic food ration card system, replacing paper format, 6 OCT

 ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The Iraqi Ministry of Trade announced plans to implement a new electronic food ration card system, replacing the current paper format.

The transition to electronic cards is set to take place across the country, with the system already being rolled out in several provinces.

On Friday, Sattar al-Jaberi, Deputy Minister of Trade, confirmed that the ministry has started converting the monthly food ration receipts of citizens from paper to electronic format.

Alongside this, new registrations, separations, transfers, and replacements of ration cards have been temporarily suspended in all provinces to facilitate the transition.

The new electronic system is currently being introduced in Baghdad, Najaf, Kirkuk, and Duhok. Al-Jaberi explained that the electronic cards will carry the same information as the previous paper receipts, allowing citizens to register their documents online without the need to visit food ration distribution centers.

According to al-Jaberi, the ministry has completed updating the records for all Iraqi citizens—approximately 40 million people—and the program is now fully ready for implementation.

He added that the system will also help distinguish between the living and deceased citizens, ensuring that the names of deceased individuals are removed from the system, effectively stopping their monthly food rations.

The move to an electronic card system is expected to streamline the food distribution process and improve efficiency across Iraq’s food ration program.
