Iraqi soldiers stand guard at Al-Qayyarah air base in March 2020 armed with Czechoslovakian Vz.58P rifles.
*These were imported in 2004/2005 timeframe from the Czech Republic.

NOTE: Iraq did not field the Vz series weapons under Saddam.
I have seen only seen one photo (taken in the early-mid1980's) in which an Iraqi soldier is holding a Vz-58V. My guess, that it was shipped inside an OT-64 armored personnel carrier or OT-65 armored reconnaissance 'car' from Czechoslovakia.
