L159 problems are due to fierce competition with the Korean T50.


Here is the info:

Iraq Requests M113 APCs

On Sept 15/10, the US DSCA announced [PDF] Iraq’s formal request to buy 440 refurbished M113A2 tracked Armored Personnel Carriers, which would be transferred from American stocks as Excess Defense Articles. The total contract value could be up to $131 million, and would also include 440 M2 .50 caliber machine guns mounted up top, 607 AN/VRC-90E Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radios Systems (SINCGARS), plus M259 Smoke Grenade Launchers, Combat Vehicle Crewmember Helmets, publications and technical documentation, tools and test equipment, spare and repair parts, support equipment, site survey, construction, personnel training and training equipment, and U.S. Government and contractor support.

The prime contractor will be BAE Corporation in Rosslyn, VA, and implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of multiple additional U.S. Government and contractor representatives to Iraq for a period of 2 years, with an option for additional years.

Yes its meant to turn the infatry divisions into mechanized divisions to turn the military into a force that deals with external threats transferring the internal threats to the minister of interior, a proces that will take years.

Maybe Iraq preparing the armed forces incase KRG want independence?
KRG doesnt have an air force so it would be a ground war.
