Iraq seeks to buy 36 F-16 fighters from U.S

Fri Sep 5, 5:32 AM ET

(Reuters) - The Iraqi government is seeking to buy 36 advanced F-16 fighters from the U.S., American military officials familiar with the request told the Wall Street Journal.


This move could help Iraq reduce its reliance on U.S. air power and potentially allow more American forces to withdraw from the country than had been proposed.

The F-16, made by Lockheed Martin Corp, is the most sophisticated weapons system Iraq has attempted to purchase so far.

Late in July, the U.S. Department of Defense had approved up to $10.7 billion in arms sales for Iraq, including a $2.16 billion sale of M1A1 Abrams tanks built by General Dynamics Corp.

The U.S. recently announced F-16 sales to Morocco and Romania. Those sales, each for roughly $100 million per plane with training, related equipment and support included, offer an indication of how lucrative the Iraq deal could be for Lockheed Martin and its suppliers.

Iraq now appears determined to significantly expand the air power of its military, which has become more competent and confident in recent months but depends heavily on the U.S. for air support.

Iraq quickly has become one of the biggest weapons buyers in the world as it seeks to strengthen and professionalise its fighting force.

No one was available at the U.S. Department of Defense for comment.

pour boomer:Reconstitution de la force aérienne de combat irakienne

Citation :

La reconstitution d’une aviation de combat est une étape majeure dans la restauration de l’indépendance de l’Irak.

La demande du gouvernement irakien comprend 18 appareils F-16IQ dont le modèle n’est pas clairement identifié. En lisant le communiqué de l’agence de coopération américaine, on note que les Etats-Unis ne proposent pas la dernière génération d'armement comme le Raytheon AIM-120D AMRAAM ou le missile courte portée AIM-9X Sidewinder. Les irakiens se voient proposer les missiles Sidewinder AIM-9L, le Raytheon AIM-7M Sparrow et le missile air-sol AGM-65D Maverick déjà ancien, ainsi des bombes guidées laser.

Ces appareils seraient équipés de radar APG-68(V) 9 alors que le radar à balayage électronique (AESA) est déjà sur le marché. L’Irak demande aussi des moyens de contre mesures électroniques, quatre pods de reconnaissance et vingt nacelles de désignation d’objectifs. Un lot de 20 réservoirs conformes figure aussi dans la commande. Les appareils pourraient être équipés du réacteur Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 ou du General Electric F110-GE-129. L’ensemble du marché qui est estimé à 4,2 milliards de dollars, comprend la formation et de nombreux services annexes.

Lockheed continue à produire le F-16 mais doit engranger de nouvelles commandes pour maintenir la ligne de production ouverte. En août, le sultanat d’Oman a effectué une demande similaire pour 18 Block 50/52s et un montant de 3.5 milliards. Le constructeur américain espère aussi remporter le contrat indien pour l’achat de 126 chasseurs.

Iraqi Air Force Takes Delivery of T-6A Training Aircraft
The Iraqi Air Force (IqAF) has taken delivery of three T-6A Texan II training aircraft in Tikrit, increasing the number of total training aircraft to 11.
The IqAF will use the T-6As to develop a self-sustaining pilot training programme and train new pilots before flying more sophisticated multirole fighter aircraft.
Currently, the US Air Force's 52nd Expeditionary Flying Training Squadron is training 12 instructor pilot candidates to serve as instructors in the T-6A aircraft.
The first four instructor pilots will complete training by summer 2011, and the remaining eight by 2011.
The IqAF received its first four T-6As in December 2009, followed by an additional four in February, with another four scheduled for delivery in November.

Iraqis Take First Ship In New Patrol Boat Fleet


UMM QASR, Iraq - Iraq inaugurated the first in a fleet of U.S.-built patrol boats on Sept. 26, part of efforts to boost its naval capacity and secure key oil platforms ahead of an American pullout next year. Iraq inaugurates the first in a fleet of U.S.-built patrol boats on Sept. 26 in the waters near the Umm Qasr Naval Base. (Ahmad Al-Rubaye / Agence France-Presse)




The rapid build-up of the Iraqi Navy is seen as crucial to protecting the terminals through which the vast majority of the country's crude is exported, with oil accounting for around 95 percent of government income.Related Topics



In a ceremony at Umm Qasr Naval Base, about 310 miles south of Baghdad, sailors demonstrated the capabilities of the boat - named "PB 301" - by showing it chase down smaller vessels.
A six-piece military band played as the boat was unveiled at a ceremony attended by Iraqi Defense Minister Abdul Qader Obeidi and U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael Barbero, the top American commander responsible for training Iraq's security forces.
"I am proud to be among the first to witness the historical arrival and commissioning of Iraq's first patrol boat," said U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Kevin McCoy, the commander of the Naval Sea Systems Command, which is primarily tasked with building and supporting the U.S. Navy's fleet.
"This occasion reflects the important ties that bound our governments and our commitment to supporting a strong coalition partnership that is based on mutual respect and cooperation."
Also as part of the ceremony, Iraqi Navy SEALs showed off "stop and search" skills aboard a demonstration vessel, and 177 naval cadets graduated from officer training to become lieutenants.
Crews for the new high-speed patrol boats are currently being trained in the United States, with 15 ultimately set to be delivered to Iraq.
Three are set to arrive in December, with the remaining 11 due for delivery next year.
The Iraqi Navy, re-established two years after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted dictator Saddam Hussein, now has 47 vessels, according to a U.S. Army spokeswoman.
It currently handles on-site and perimeter defense for the Khor al-Amiya oil terminal, and on-site defense for the Al-Basra oil terminal, which are six miles apart and 60 miles off the port of Umm Qasr, sandwiched between Iranian and Kuwaiti waters.
About 80 percent of Iraq's oil exports pass through the two terminals, with three more set to be added by the end of next year as the country seeks to ramp up oil exports by as much as five times.
By that time, when U.S. forces will have had to withdraw completely from the country under the terms of a bilateral security pact, Iraq will be solely responsible for all security at oil facilities, including platforms.
U.S. officers are confident their Iraqi comrades are up to the task.
"The Iraqi Navy will be fully capable to defend the oil platforms, the territorial waters and the ports," Barbero said in an interview this month.
The old Iraqi navy was destroyed in the 1991 Gulf War and again in the 2003 invasion.
The United States pulled out combat troops from Iraq at the start of this month, and will complete a full withdrawal at the end of 2011.

Instructeurs israeliens formant les forces kurdes en irak

Israël en faisant sa a fait une très grave erreur de calcule:

- Du point de vue politique, sa renforce l'action de l'état Turc dans sa politique contre Israël.

-D'un point de vue publique, les turcs étant ultra nationaliste, cela renforcera le sentiment anti Israël au sein de la population.

-Enfin il ne faudra pas s'étonner de voir une bonne fois pour toute, la Turquie devenir l'ennemi d'Israël si elle ne lâche pas le PKK. Cette dernière cherchera pas tout les moyens, d'isolé encore plus Israël qu'elle ne l'est à l'heure actuelle.
De part son poids économique et politique, la Turquie fera tout pour développer ses voisins (Iran-Syrie-Irak-Liban) car elle jouera au MO ce que l'Allemagne joue économiquement en Europe.
Or à terme si tout les voisins d'Israël se développe, on sait tous ce que cela signifie....

Encore une fois, Israël a fait une très grave erreur

Te trompe pas,Fahed le titre est faux,c'est pas le pkk qu'israel entraine,mais la composante kurde de l'armée irakienne ce qui est différend.la présence israelienne en irak et nottament aux kurdistan ce fait en collaboration avec la turquie,attention a ne pas s'y tromper dérriére le discour tapageure d'erdogan la collaboration israelo-turc continue. les relations avec la turquie ne sont pas au point de non retour donc pas question pour israel d'aider le pkk dans ces conditions ,c'est contre productifs.

Autant pour moi

J'espère simplement que Israël n'aura jamais la bêtise d'entraîner le PKK. Car en plus d'être contre productif, c'est une organisation terroriste et cela ira contre le discours que prône le gouvernement par rapport au Hezbollah notamment.

M1A1 Abrams transfer marks significant milestone

BAGHDAD | Iraqi and U.S. senior leaders gathered at Camp Iraqi Hero Oct. 14 to commemorate the Iraqi Army's expanding inventory of M1A1 Abrams tanks, increasing its conventional defensive capabilities.

"This is a significant milestone in the progress the Iraqi Army has made in the last seven years," said United States Forces-Iraq Deputy Commanding General for Advising and Training, U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael D. Barbero.

To date 35 tanks have arrived at the Besmaya Combat Training Center as part of a larger, comprehensive program to modernize Iraq's conventional defensive capabilities. The package also includes eight M88A2 recovery vehicles, training courses, maintenance training courses, and training ammunition. The remaining 105 tanks and recovery vehicles are scheduled to arrive by December 2011.

"We need to be ready to protect the Iraqi people 24 hours a day, seven days a week; this is our duty," said Iraq's Defense Minister Lt. Gen. Abdul Qadir Mohammed Jassim Obeidi al-Mifarji.

The beginning of Operation New Dawn in September marked a critical transition in the American-Iraqi partnership. The remaining 50,000 U.S. troops in Iraq are now dedicated to the Advising and Training mission, Barbero said. U.S. troops are partnered with Iraqi Security Forces to assist them in strengthening their conventional defensive capabilities.

The U.S. and Iraqi Armies collaboratively developed a training program in beginning in 2009 to help familiarize Iraqi crewmembers with the Abrams tank in anticipation of the Iraqi tanks' arrival. "What other country in the world would let another country use their tanks for training?" said the defense minister.

"The Iraqi Army has been the fastest growing Army in the world," Barbero said. "These tanks represent this growth and will help strengthen the Iraqi Army's ability to protect the sovereignty of Iraq."

Editor's note:Alicea Valentin is a member of the Ohio Army National Guard's 196th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment attached to the U.S. Forces-Iraq Deputy Commanding General for Advising and Training Public Affairs Office.
