    Those are pictures of Iraqi MiG23 in Serbia, in the second one you might see a MiG27 in the back

    I think if the news are true we are talking about this aircraft.

    What about Italy, for sure the Italian MoD analyzed the purchase of C17 last year since there were also articles on magazines, so now with the new government the option may be alive once again.

    I really think this is one of the few images of Tunisia G222, a gift from Italy in 2001.
    It still carries double insignias. If somebody have a pics with full Tunisian markings it would be great

    Found this morning on aircraftslides.com

    Nice drawing.Didnt know J10 was known as “ferret”?:confused: .I thought its called “vigorous dragon”?

    Is it a new NATO reporting name?

    Just my fantasy. The name come out from the infamous “MiG 37 Ferret” Kit

    I am in confusion, I guess that Moldovan’s MiG29 were actually sold to US (maybe not all of them) and the remaining are no flyworthy, if it is so, maybe that is not a new camo, is just rusting.

    …….. when you need some Humvees or to deploy some rangers in Iraq or Afghanistan you do not need 50% less operating cost, you need an airplane capable to take off in 500 meters and not 900 meters, you need powerful engines, you need speed………
    …… when it’s hot and humid you need a C27J not a C295………

    Winner of Joint Cargo Aircraft has been selected
    By Roxana Tiron
    June 13, 2007
    An L-3 Communications-Alenia North America team won the contract for the Joint Cargo Aircraft, a program shared by the Army and the Air Force worth up to $7 billion.

    The winning team offered the C-27 J Spartan cargo aircraft.

    The Army and the Air Force approved an initial purchase of 78 aircraft and the Pentagon’s top weapons buyer, Ken Krieg, approved the Army’s and Air Force’s request to proceed with a so-called “low rate initial production.” The contract could be extended to the purchase of up to 145 planes, which would make it worth about $7 billion.

    Well you probably shouldn’t have included the Su-27 either – what kind of record does it have “on the field”? 😉 :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Ask Eritrea ……..

    My List is

    1) F86 Sabre since it almost turn the tide to a war by itself

    2) Mirage III very close to Sabre

    3) MiG 21 ask the USAF in VietNam

    4) F16 The Sabre of the 80s-90s

    5) F14 Especially for it use by Iran

    6) Su 27 Nobody wants to confront with him

    7) F15 another MiG slayer

    8) Harrier and Sea Harrier Falklands

    9) MiG 15 and MiG 17 Very reliable work horse

    10) F4 Phantom It should have been good by selling so many

    I mainly centered my list on the airplane performance on the Field, since is what they are supposed to do, that is why you do not see any F-22, EF2000, Rafale etc…….
