Are they part of the peshmerga or are they Kurdish soldiers in the Iraqi army?

Great job by KRG displaying the New Helicopter in the public areas which should boost public moral . I hope we will never need it , but these Helicopter can easily be weaponized , beside "Trafic police ?" I mean seriously

Opposition from the Kurdistan Regional Government towards Turkey

The KRG has always insisted—probably with more bravado than conviction—that it will resist militarily any Turkish attempt to interfere in Iraqi Kurdistan’s internal affairs. Since 2004 peshmerga bases have been built next to the Turkish ones. On February 21, the first day of Turkey’s eight-day incursion, approximately 350 Turkish troops in armored vehicles and around 12 tanks tried to leave the Turkish base at Bamerni. The KRG had received no prior notification of the deployment. Peshmerga surrounded the base and refused to allow the Turkish forces to leave. After a confrontation lasting 90 minutes, the Turkish forces backed down and withdrew inside the base (Radikal, March 4). In retrospect, the attempted deployment appears to have been a diversionary tactic, designed to distract the PKK from the coming attack on the Zap region. Nevertheless, the 90-minute standoff at Bamerni underlined the potential for a much more serious confrontation.

Turkey would not even dream of intervening militarily in Southern Kurdistan. As they know it would be met with thunderous resistance by the Peshmerga. They also know retalition in terms of a counter strike would also happen, if the KRG would attempt to annex NK. Anything is possible.
