وقّعت القوات الجوية العراقية في 20 تشرين الثاني/نوفمبر عقد تدريب متطوّر للطيارين على F-16 مع شركة لوكهيد مارتن الأميركية. وهذا العقد غير محدد الكمية والتسليم بقيمة 38 مليون دولار تقريبا وهو يندرج ضمن المبيعات العسكرية الأجنبية. وسيتم العمل بالعقد في قاعدة بلد الجوية في العراق ويتوّقع الإنتهاء من العمل في 19 تشرين الثاني/نوفمبر 2020. وتجدر الإشارة أن الجهة المتعاقدة هي جهة توقيع العقود المتخصصة بسرب الطائرات.

وتأتي هذه الخطوة ضمن سعي العراق المستمر لتعزيز قدراته العسكرية لمواجهة تحديات المنطقة الراهنة. فقد قال مصدر عسكري روسي في 13 تشرين الثانينوفمبر بأن روسيا ستزود العراق بوسائل تأمين الاتصالات اللاسلكية للتحليقات لأحد المطارات التابعة للقوات الجوية العراقية.

iraqi F16 can hit more than one target at once... interesting. i wonder what he means by that.

Between September 2015 and November 2015 they destroyed 253 targets

at 4.00 we can see the sniper pod

Another F16 crashes in Arizona out of luke afb where iraqi planes are stationed... Let's hope it's not another iraqi aircraft.

USAF pilot, suggestion of bird strike during landing/take off exercise.

http://www.f-16.net/f-16-news-article4995.html

The pilot was assigned to the 314th Fighter Squadron while the F-16 was part of the 54th Fighter Group which is located at Holloman but is under operational control of the 56th Fighter Wing commander at Luke AFB, Arizona.

Always refer to F16.net when it's about F-16's, a lot more detailed info then the mainstream sites.

Gentlemen, i have a puzzlement. Despite reports of many combat sorties flown by them, i haven't seen yet any footage of an iraqi F-16 armed and taking of from their base in Iraq ever since their arrival - correct me if i'm wrong here. The footage shown on TV with them in flight is only from the arrival. We have seen similar footage of the Su-25s. I can't see it as being secret because they did show them with the pods and LGBs, and if pilot security is a concern they can always leave the helmets on like they already do.

Something seems fishy to me in all this. I have some suspicions, they might be outlandish or not, i don't know. What do you gents think of this?

Thank you.

When about the ground and airbases I guess they're a bit 'strict' with video releases from bases with coalition troop presence. We rarely see video's from those bases except official vids. A few from Iraqi MoD and some from the coalition, though one vid filmed by soldiers engaging several suicide bombers attempting to infiltrate al-asad base some time ago. It's probably rules agreed upon by coalition-Iraq to prevent giving info to outsiders about the base layout.

Only 1 vid has been released from IQAF F-16 strikes.

Still no investigation (results) about the F-16 pilot who crashed in Arizona?

[TangoIII]

There is nothing official, but there are rumors that the reason for the crash was a human error.
