    Sorry, for all ,but it’s not correct history,Saddam didn’t change airforce day from april to 22/09 is still in 22th April all to invasion in 2003 and airforce big celebration in 22/09 every year for remark a blitz attack Iran by Iraqi airforce.

    I ASSURE YOU WE CELERBRATE 22/04 VERY MILDLY AND AIRFORCE DAY WAS CHANGED TO 22/09 SINCE 1995-2003
    WHEN ADNAN WAS ALIVE HE INSISTED ON CELEBRATING 22/04 UNTILL HIS PLANE CRASH,,CONTINUED MILDLY UNTILL 1991.
    NO CELEBRATIONS 1991-1995
    AIRFORCE DAY BEEN CALLED AIRFORCE VICTORY DAY IS THE OFFICAL AIRFORCE CELEBRATIONS FROM 1995 WHERE WE GET PROMOTED IF IT HAPPNES PLUS 17TH JULY AND ARMY DAY 6 JAN..EVERY YEAR
    INFACT I MADE MAJOR IN 22/09 1999

    the iraqi airforce was formed in 1927 as the royal iraqi airforce with 4 tiger moth biplanes from great britain, what amazes me is the united states finds what ever functional fighter left by the IrAF and ships it to the US.
    these planes are the property of the iraqi people not MR.Bush,,,hearts and minds,,,regime change,,,WMD and all that kind of US Crap!

    vERY IMPRESSIVE THREAD,, the only country that tested the MIg-25 in combat was Iraq,,and during the iran-iraq war she was the queen of the sky,,the iranian f-14 not even close…
    it shot down a USN f-18 in 1991.
    i fly su-24 but the mig-25 is a complete diffrent experience
    thanks for the pics
    i love that plane.

    It isn’t about fighting WW 3. The just need something to patrol their airspace. But as ELP already wrote, without a widely accepted government, and peace within the factions, it is absolutely stupid to think about withdrawal of allied troops and a fastjet force.
    If all those prerequisites are met, then I think used F-16 and later on JSF will do just fine.

    WOULD YOU THINK THAT A EUROPEAN FIGHTER JET..i-e..Mirage F1 prob 2000 would be a better option than the F-16

    QUOTE=Canpark;1070074]I heard the CIA bribed Iraqi air force commanders leading up to the invasion, so when the U.S began moving in from Kuwait in 2003 the Iraqi air force was virtually dead. Allied forces later captured Iraqi airbases with aircraft still in good condition and intact.[/QUOTE]

    NO NO RESISTANCE AT ALL, NOT A SINGLE FIGHTER GOT OF THE GROUND
