Light and heavy weaponry were on display during the fair, which will continue until Saturday.

“The exhibition will provide an important opportunity to inform the participating countries and companies of the capabilities of the Iraqi military industries,” as well as a platform for striking military deals between partners, Falah al-Shammari, the organizing company’s director, told the state-owned Iraqi News Agency on Sunday.
