"Orbital ATK has a proven track record of providing vital maintenance and training to the Iraqi Air Force."

To date, Orbital ATK has supplied three AC-208B armed aircraft, three RC-208B reconnaissance aircraft, and five TC-208B trainer aircraft to the Iraqi Air Force.

Orbital ATK said that AC-208B Armed Caravan configuration requires minimal personnel and facilities to operate and maintain.

In June this year, Iraq requested spare parts, component repair, publication updates, maintenance training and logistics for its AC-208 fleet, under a $181m foreign military sale deal with the US Government.
