arrived in Iraq this afternoon F-16 aircraft.
“Today, three F-16 aircraft have arrived at Balad Airbase to join the combat aircraft fleet of the Iraqi Air Force Command,” a statement from the Air Force Command said.
On 29 September, Iraq received three new fighter jets from the United States of America under the contract between the two countries.
With the arrival of these aircraft, the Iraqi squadron will fly from these aircraft to 24 F-16 American-made aircraft, the seventh meal out of 36 aircraft under the contract between the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and Lockheed Martin.
Many of the Iraqi pilots completed their flight training at the base of Arizona, where the second pilot spent two of their aircraft crashes during training and did not give details of the causes of the accidents so far or whether there would be compensation for the wrecked planes.
The announcement coincides with the launch of the liberation of western Anbar, specifically Al-Qaim and Rawa, and their liberation will declare Iraq free of any kind.
