The ministry has already agreed to sell to Iraq 15 Czech-made L-159 light combat planes, and the Czech government has approved a plan to provide the Kurdish military with 500 metric tons of ammunition to fight Islamic State militants. The delivery of the ammunition begins Thursday.

Next week, the Czech Interior ministry is expected to announce details of another plan to send Czech officers to Iraq to rain Kurdish police.
