Hercules til Irak

To support Iraqi Kurds in their fight against the violently militant Islamic State, Estonia donates one million machine gun cartridges made for weapons of Soviet origin.
«The ammunition in question was acquired in 1993–1995. For Estonian Defence Forces using NATO standard ammunition, these cartridges do not fit,» explained Peeter Tali, public relations head at defence ministry.

Estonian help weighs almost 28 tonnes and rests on 29 europallets. The cartridges will be taken to Kurds by allied military air transport.
