As for the eventual replacement its got to be either C-295 or C-27J, used S360’s, C-212’s etc would be nothing but stopgap solution.
ps Just to really upset everyone, dare i suggest V-22? (Hey if others can suggest An-72’s, y not?)

isn’t V-22 much more expensive than C-295/C-27J/AN-72 (they are planes of similar class) ? even USA don’t want buy them in a large numbers.

Oh, didn’t know this. Can you tell me which Soviet plane got which F-number?

YF-110 – MiG-21, YF-113 – MiG-23 .

Thank you for your question .I don’t mind for asking me this question and I am so happy .

Dear I am from Baghdad and and I very interesting in aviation world for
25 years and it’s just hobby.and thanks for link.

i want to ask you about new iraqi air force. will you get jet planes? maybe F-16a’s fighter and T-37’s for training purposes (usa are withdrawing them).

:rolleyes: You got it written there…

i think , i should read more sharply… 🙁

For what purpose?

i think it has same purpose like bell 206. light utility helicopter.

The thing I love about these old fighters is that they tried so many different things. Aviation is getting boring – there is nothing out there that makes you go “wow, that’s ingenious!”

Nowadays the most unique thing that happens is when an airforce doesn’t buy F-16’s or MiG-29’s…

agree . today people don’t develop plane like F2Y, XF-85 and a lot of more. except V-22 osprey.

i think serbians should scrap MiG-21 , save funds and keep little fleet of MiG-29 operational. buy atack helos : mi-24 or AH-1, buy 3-4 C-27J, buy utility helos (mi-8) .

Index, are you aware who is chief-of-army in our country? You can educate those men from infantry all the while, but, still, for them old german M113 is more important then air policing in their own country! 😡 Besides, now we have provisional reconstruction team in Afghanistan, it eats all our money, but it doesn’t matter, because we have already reconstructed everything in Lithuania! :diablo:

but, i think, few gripens is more worth money than new government b-737 , we want to buy. i thought that the su-27 accident was good lesson for government.
