Greetings from Canada

Salam Aleikum! After a few posts in the last year, I would like to introduce myself. I am a Dutchman, born in the UAE (Dubai, 1978), and after living in the Middle East for 11 years (5 years UAE as a child, 3 years KSA + 3 years UAE in the period 2005-2012) I have recently moved to Canada as my wife...

Re: TU16 / B6D bombers

Oh darn, here's the Badger thread... In a copy over from the Tu-22 thread... I'd like to ask if anybody knows if it is true that Iraq received 6 instead of the normally reported 4 B-6D / B-60 Badgers for their air force. In addition, does anybody know if the Iraqi Tu-16s (the Soviet built ones) were...

Re: TU22 Blinder in the Iraqi Air Force

Gents, I was looking for a thread on the Tu-16 & B-6D in Iraqi service, but could not find it as my Arabic is lacking. I saw in a post above from Raaft that he saw 5 H-6s (also called B-60 in Iraq). I remember ACIG member Ahmad Rushdi claiming that Iraq received 6 H-6s. If that is the case, than the...

Re: SU7, 20, 22 FITTERS of the Iraqi air force

Dear Mack8, After reading your comments on the conduits, I put the profiles of the early fitters together and I think you are right! The Su-20 as in the profiles by Tom Cooper (from Aviation Graphic and also in "Iraqi Fighters") show no conduits and thinner engine! *facepalm* What really got me thin...

Re: SU7, 20, 22 FITTERS of the Iraqi air force

Mack, I have to disagree here, as based on an article in the International Air Power Review on the Swing Wing Fitters and the book Iraqi fighters state that the early Su-20s exported to Syria, Egypt and Iraq have AL-7F engines. Because the AL-21 had no export clearance I am unsure that these aircraf...

Re: SU7, 20, 22 FITTERS of the Iraqi air force

Salam Aleikum! A lot of good info here on this forum regarding these birds! Just like Mack I am a big nit picker on details, so I have to ask the following: As observation though, aren't all the Su-20's suposed have AL-21F engines ? (not AL-7F). Of course from Su-22 onwards they had the R-29BS-300, ...
