In another incident, an Iraqi MiG-25PD, after eluding eight U.S. Air Force F-15s, fired three missiles at General Dynamics EF-111A Raven electronic warfare aircraft, forcing them to abort their mission and leave attacking aircraft without electronic jamming support.
In yet another incident, two MiG-25s approached a pair of F-15s, fired missiles (which were evaded by the F-15s), and then outran the American fighters. Two more F-15s joined the pursuit, and a total of 10 air-to-air missiles were fired at the MiG-25s, although none reached them.According to the same sources, at least one F-111 was also forced to abort its mission by a MiG-25 on the first 24 hours of hostilities, during an air raid over Tikrit.

Other Iraqi air-to-air kills are reported in Russian sources, where the US claims other cases of combat damage, such as the B-52 "In HARM's way", which the US claims was hit by friendly fire, when an AGM-88 High-speed, Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) homed on the fire-control radar of the B-52's tail gun; the jet was subsequently renamed "In HARM's Way! Sources from the Iraqi air force says it was hit by Iraqi MIG-29 gunfire

Iraqi air force :
In the opening minutes of the Gulf War on 17 January 1991, an unarmed USAF EF-111, crewed by Captain James A. Denton and Captain Brent D. Brandon scored a kill against an Iraqi Dassault Mirage F1EQ, which they managed to maneuver into the ground, making it the only F-111 to achieve an aerial victory over another aircraft. According to Iraqi sources confirmed that Iraqi Mirage F-1EQ piloted by Najim Abdullah Al-Jubouri didn't crash, but managed to hit the F-111 with Magic missile. Probably an early detonation of missile have confused pilots as both sides claim victory
1.17th January 1991 - An Iraqi MiG-29 Shot down by F-15C 85-119 58 TFS/33 TFW pilot on K. "J.B." Kelk,Pilot ? Fate ? ejected ?

4.19th January 1991 - An Iraqi MIG-25 Shot down by F-15C 85-101 58 TFS/33 TFW pilot Capt. Larry "Cherry" Pitts.
5.19th January 1991 - An Iraqi MiG-29 Shot down by F-15C 85-122 58 TFS/33 TFW pilot Capt. Craig "Mole" Underhill.
6.19th January 1991 - An Iraqi Mig-29 Hit the ground while trying to avoid F-15C 85-114 58 TFS/33 TFW pilot Capt. Cesar "Rico" Rodriguez, "Jameel Sayhood was an Iraqi pilot in the Gulf War who it is claimed managed to attain one of the few aerial victories by the Iraqi Air Force in his MiG-29B, before being shot down by USAF Captain Craig Underhill and Captain Cesar Rodriguez with their F-15Cs mere minutes after his air-air victory" Captain Sayhood was flying his MiG-29B in Iraq on the third day of the war in order to root out and shoot-down Coalition aircraft bombing Iraq. It is claimed that RAF pilots Gary Lennox and Adrian Weeks were flying their Panavia Tornado on a bombing mission at Tallil Airfield in Iraq. Sayhood spotted them and promptly brought them down with an R-60 missile from his MiG's arsenal.Weeks and Lennox were killed in the crash of their aircraft, serial ZA467. However this aircraft is recorded as having crashed on 22 January on a mission to Ar Rutbah,Sayhood continued his mission defending Iraqi airspace and came across two F-15Cs piloted by Captains Craig Underhill and Cesar Rodriguez. Underhill and Rodriguez were pursuing another pair of MiG-29s when they spotted Sayhood and his wingman. Sayhood and his wingman promptly engaged the two American aircraft and one of the most intense dogfights of the Gulf War ensued. The two MiGs and F-15s flew straight at each other, each attempting to visually identify their aggressors. Underhill faced Sayhood's wingman, while Sayhood himself faced Rodriguez. Underhill fired an AIM-7 at Sayhood's wingman, hitting him head on and killing him. At the same time, Rodriguez sensed a radar lock by Sayhood, throwing him onto the defensive. Rodriguez dove down to the deck in order to confuse Sayhood's radar with ground clutter, hoping to shake the radar lock on his aircraft. After seeing his wingman killed, Sayhood briefly broke off the attack. Rodriguez and Underhill started heading south for a tanker, when Sayhood approached them from the north. Rodriguez and Underhill turned around to face Sayhood. Underhill got a radar lock on Sayhood with an AIM-7, but didn't fire because he wasn't sure if Sayhood was friendly or not. Sayhood sliced into their formation causing a "classic merge". Underhill climbed, keeping his lock on Sayhood, while Rodriguez stayed committed to the merge in order to visually identify the aircraft as hostile. As they passed each other, Rodriguez identified it as Iraqi, and each pilot turned left to engage the other. Sayhood was relying on the MiG's better turning radius to get onto Rodriguez's tail. They slowly spiraled towards the ground until Sayhood attempted to pull out using a split-s. Rodriguez didn't follow, and just before Sayhood could pull out, he crashed into the ground. He managed to eject from his MiG, however it is unknown if he survived.

اخ ايسوس العراق شكراً على التذكير,, بنسبة الموضوع الاشتباكات الجوية لحرب الخليج الثانية كنت منشغل جداً وفاتني نشر الموضيع الجديده.. وعلية سوف اقوم بنشر تفاصيل الاحداث قريباً.
اما عن موضوع الكويت " فاللاسف في بعض الاحيان تطغى مشاعر الاحترام والتقدير والعفو على مستوى التضحيات " بلاضافة الى انو الجيش الكويتي و احراز النصر ضده لا يتجاوز تمرين تعبوي تقوم به قواتنه المسلحة البطلة لذالك لم اعر اهتمام كبير لنشر هذ الموضوع من قبل, اضف الى ذالك ما ورد في كتاب الفريق الركن رعد الحمداني " وانا شخصيا احترم هذ الرجل الشجاع " لكن غريب جداً ان ينشر تفاصيل غير دقيقه وبعيده كل البعد عن الواقع " بما يتعلق بموضوع عدد المروحيات العراقية التي اصطدامات باعمدة الكهرباء " حتى احد الاصدقاء كان برتبة عقيد في طيران الجيش سبقا وكان من المشاركين في عملية اقتحام الكويت نفاها وبشده و اسماها سخرية وتذمر جداً من هذا الخبر " فلا اعلم بصراحة من اين استقا الفريق الركن رعد الحمداني هذه المعلومات مع شدديد الاحترام لشخصة الكريم "..!! مع ذالك كل المراقبين العسكرين و البحثين ابلغو ان المروحيات الكويتية كانت قد اصطدمات باعدمدة الكهرباء بسبب تحليقها المنخفظ جدا هربا من ملاحقة الطائرات " الميراج و الميك " العراقية التي كانت تحلق في سماء الكويت لتمنع هروبها الى المملكة العربية السعودية.. فهل خسارة الجيش الكويتي من المروحيات اضيفت الى سجل الجيش العراقي ؟!!
