Trivia

 * The MEC are mainly using export Russian equipment. This is common with many Middle Eastern armies today.
 * The MEC uses a fictional flag in Battlefield 2, uses a different fictional flag in Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, and uses the flag of Iraq of 1963-1991 in Battlefield: Bad Company.
 * The Black Eagle Tank used in Battlefield: Bad Company was actually a prototype built by Russia, but was halted due to the acceptance of the T-90 so technically it was never placed into production. It is possible that Russia continued the Black Eagle Program between now and the events of Battlefield: Bad Company or it is possible another nation bought the design from Russia, similar to the XM8 program, that, despite being cancelled, appears in BC1, and is the standard weapon of BC2.
 * Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is the only modern era Battlefield game where the MEC does not appear.
 * Arabic is the official language of the MEC, despite the fact that several Middle Eastern nations speak a different language (Kurdish, Farsi, Turkish, etc.)
 * The MEC is never referred to in the naming scheme of the weapon files, with all of their weapons being named with "RU" or "RUS", indicating Russia.
