[TangoIII]

Yes, 1630, 1631 and 1613, those supposed to be the ones that arrived on 19-10!.

[TangoIII]

Unfortunately, there are no new airframes. And still Iraq have only 21 fighters.

Iraq should upgrade its F-16 to F-16V configuration and purchase more F16V

Iraq should upgrade its F-16 to F-16V configuration and purchase more F16V

that would be a waste of money as long as the US restricts armaments supply to Iraq.

I'd much rather buy a squadron of high end russian jets with that money...

[TangoIII]

I agree with Hayder, The F-16 fighter should be adopted or classified as a multi-role fighter and get a superior Russian-made interceptor fighter such as the Su-30SM or Su-35.

أنا أتفق مع حيدر يجب ان يتم أعتماد المقاتلة اف-16 كمقاتلة متعددة المهام والحصول على مقاتلة معترضة متفوقة روسية الصنع مثل السوخوي - 30أس أم او السوخوي-35

us policy change when president change, right now it's Donald trump time and the man wants to sell sell sell, he's even negotiating selling F35 to UAE.

show him some green and he'll give you whatever you want. beside that F-16 is a good platform for bombing missions so it wont be a waste of money.

All countries now are upgrading there F-16s even bahrain so why not iraq.

a superior f-16 + su35 = formidable airforce

[TangoIII]

No, that is old fashioned.
Yes, but that is formidable airforce with a multi-role fighter F-16 and with air superiority Su-35.

Iraq has renewed a service contract for security and ground facilities for 400 million US...
