Iraq Army adding new Russian T90 tanks to their force in preference to maintaining General Dynamics made and maintained Abrams tanks. Another move by Russians to gain influence in region? What do you think?

It could also be that the T90 is newer, lighter, faster, simpler and quite a bit cheaper. And just about comparable in capabilities.
As major tank vs tank engagements more and more seem to be a thing of the past, and of course, the ان شاء آلله attitude, all of the above matter.
