US hardware for COIN duties – yesteday and today

Probably they are withradwn from use

No, they are not. 6 can be seen on the pad at Sana’a with additional 6 parking spots having oil/fuel stains – so you could guess that between 6 and 12 could still be operational.

Serial Su-33KUB

Just a poor PS.

Would anyone have a pic of MiG-21bisD #110? It’s the only one I don’t have out of the 12 overhauled ones!

aircraft-9 011.jpg are Mirage F1
Iraf- Su-22-5.jpg shows Su-20s, not Su-22 (no back hump)
Iraf-mig-15UT-1.jpg are MiG-15 UTI, not UT-1

Good job, keep them coming!

What’s the story behind this FJ-4 pic? towed bombs?

More likely towed targets

MiG-23BN, Iraq never got the MiG-27

Does anyone have any information on a presentation of a IAR-93 to a greek delegation

No. But the Iranians were interested in the plane – some of their pilots received orientation flights on the type in Romania in 1989. The dual-seater #605 received a desert camo as part of the marketing effort (see the incas pic gallery in the link provided in post #4 of this thread)

Here are two pics from an airshow at Ianca AB on April 21 2001 – the IAR-93s were grounded since 1998, and never flew with this camo scheme.
