The Czech prime minister said Monday his government has approved a plan to donate further weapons and ammunition to Iraq and also ammunition to Jordan to help them fight Daesh militants, ABC News reported.

Bohuslav Sobotka said 6,500 assault rifles and 7 million pieces of ammunition will be transported to Iraq by the US for the Iraqi and Kurdish armed forces.

Sobotka added that he hopes that after last week's visit of Prime Minister David Cameron to Prague Britain will drop its objections to a planned sale of Czech-made L-159 light combat planes to Iraq.

He said the country will also provide Jordan with about 7 million pieces of ammunition for assault rifles and machine guns.

The Czechs sent hundreds of tons of ammunition and hand grenades to Iraq before.
