2003年3月20日美英联军对伊拉克发动大规模入侵战争,引起世界各国的广泛关注。目前战争已宣告结束。与第一次海湾战争和科索沃战争不同,此次战争一开始就投入大量地面部队进入伊拉克,进行地面战,轻武器在其中发挥了重要作用,步枪、短突击步枪、轻/重机枪、榴弹发射器、火箭筒等均派上了用场。伊拉克战争表明,现代化战争仍然离不开轻武器。 March 20, 2003 The U.S.-British coalition forces launched a large-scale invasion of Iraq on Iraq, arousing widespread concern in various countries of the world. The war has now come to an end. Unlike the first Gulf war and the Kosovo war, a large number of ground troops were deployed to enter Iraq from the very beginning to carry out ground-based operations in which light weapons played an important role. Rifles, short assault rifles, light / heavy machine guns and grenade launchers , Rocket launchers, etc. are put in handy. The war in Iraq shows that the modernized war still can not do without light weapons.
