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.

attention c´est une arnaque 1B$ pour 18 MF1 meme ASTRAC,vu que l´iraq a deja payé pour les mirage non livrés en 1991,ca tournait vers 6/700M$ de l´epoque (de memoire).
apparement ils ont un ecriteau "a arnaquer" sur le front..

Bah quoi? Je vois pas ou ce situe l'arnaque Yaku.

Si tu prends le coefficient tête de pigeon appliqué à l'irak sa se tient

Je vais te dire sur quelle base les commerciaux de l'Elysée on calculer le prix.

Tu prends le Deal F16 IQ/Prix= 233 millions par coucou.
Tu prend le Deal F16 Maroc/Prix= 100 millions par coucou.

Sa te donne un rapport de 2,3 . Tu appliques ensuite se rapport au deal Astrac: 350x 2,3=815 Millions d'euro arrondi à 1 billion $

Tu vois c'est facile

Iraqi Army drives into future with M1A1 Abrams tanks

BAGHDAD | Soldiers with Company C, 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, United States Division-Center, worked with Iraqi Army 9th Armored Division soldiers during M1A1 Abrams tank drivers training Jan. 15-16, at Camp Taji, Iraq.

"We focus on driving M1A1s to drive Iraq forward into the future and for the betterment of the people of Iraq," said Iraq Army Jundi Anwar Hakim Khidher Al-Janabi, a tank commander with the 9th Armored Division, out of Camp Taji.

All 140 M1A1s that the Government of Iraq has purchased from the U.S. are to be issued to the 9th Armored Division in monthly installments by the end of 2011, following a transitioning process at Contingency Operating Site Hammer, Iraq.

The 9th Armored Division tankers will attend a 45-day new equipment operator's course this spring at the Besmaya Combat Training Center, Iraq.

The new equipment operator's course curriculum will lead Iraqi Army tankers through everything the soldiers need to do as a crewman and crew in order to operate the tank effectively, starting with basic tank safety and ending with crew gunnery exercises," said Sgt. 1st Class Philemon Jones, a platoon sergeant and master gunner with Company C, 1st Bn., 18th Inf. Regt.

Armor crewmen with Company C, 1st Bn., 18th Inf. Regt. are training the Iraqis on individual tasks in preparation for the new equipment operator's course.

"The training will allow them to have a base of information, so [at the new equipment operator's course] they can concentrate on the crew tasks instead of the individual tasks," Jones said.

The M1A1s will give Iraqis confidence in their equipment, precision in their engagements, pride and a new level of prestige, he said.

"[Now] they're on the same level as other countries and can defend themselves against internal threats as well as external threats," Jones said.

The M1A1s will help the current situation and control terrorist activities, said Jundi Hazim Swadi Jaber, a tank loader with the 9th Armed Division.

"We will move forward, ahead of neighboring countries, in our technology. We'll have an advantage," Hazim said. "I'm proud, because I'm learning a new tank with technology that will help to fight the terrorists."

IQAF Train on New Calibration System


The Iraqi Air Force (IQAF) has undergone a three-week training course on a new torque-wrench calibration system at New Al-Muthana Air Base, Iraq.
The US Air Force (USAF) conducted the training under recruitment by Iraq Training and Advisory Mission-Air.
The purpose of the training was to equip the IQAF to calibrate the tools used for aircraft maintenance.
Iraq purchased the calibration system for the IQAF maintainers to become self-sufficient and cut long-term costs.
USAF member of the 4th Maintenance Group Master Sgt Joel Desjardin said it costs more money for Iraq to send the tool to the US to get calibrated than to just buy new ones.
"With this capability, instead of spending $160 for a brand new torque wrench, they can calibrate the tools themselves," he added

La France proposerait à l'Irak vingt Mirage 2000-9 rachetés aux Émirats

Paris semble prêt à tout pour aider à vendre le Rafale, sauf... à reprendre des avions déjà vendus.

Par Jean Guisnel

Pour favoriser la vente de Rafale aux Émirats arabes unis, la France se voit demander par les coriaces négociateurs de racheter les 60 Mirage 2000-9 - le modèle le plus perfectionné de cet appareil - qui avaient été achetés à la fin des années 1990. Ils demanderaient très cher de leurs avions d'occasion : entre 25 et 30 % de la valeur du contrat Rafale de 6 milliards d'euros, soit au bas mot 1,5 milliard d'euros.

Paris a cherché des clients pour le 2000-9, mais sans succès : l'armée de l'air française n'aurait pas craché dessus, mais Nicolas Sarkozy a refusé qu'elle s'équipe d'avions d'occasion ; le Pakistan n'a pas trop les moyens ; l'Inde se voit proposer le Rafale. Et d'autres "prospects", comme les Roumains, ont fait un petit tour et sont repartis. Selon nos informations, provenant de sources industrielles, l'Irak serait aujourd'hui sur la liste pour le tiers du lot, soit vingt appareils. Ils lui seraient vendus par la France, dans un contrat d'État à État. En a-t-il les moyens ? Ce n'est pas trop la question, car, selon nos sources, le financement se ferait au travers d'un "barter" pétrolier. Sans être classique, ce procédé est courant. En général, le contrat est confié pour exécution à un opérateur pétrolier adossé à des pools bancaires. Et Total est justement présent en Irak...

En fait, l'opération Mirage 2000-9 pourrait se faire concomitamment à une autre vente française de matériel d'occasion, à savoir 18 Mirage F1. La France en possède encore 30, opérationnels et en parfait état de vol, donc 5 Mirage F1-B biplace, 8 F1-CT d'attaque au sol et 18 F1-CR de reconnaissance photographique. Ils sont progressivement retirés du service, le retrait du dernier appareil étant programmé pour 2014. Nous avons déjà raconté voici un an l'état de la négociation extrêmement complexe entre Paris et Bagdad, qui prétend que ces avions ont déjà été payés par Saddam Hussein. Paris ne refuse pas le dialogue sur ce point, mais réclame aujourd'hui un supplément financier pour mettre les F1 d'occasion au standard technique le plus moderne, comparable à celui des Mirage 2000. Ce double hypothétique contrat est-il réaliste ? L'avenir le dira...

U.S. Airmen deliver weather gear to Iraqi air force

QAYYARAH WEST AIRFIELD, Iraq | Members of a U.S. Air Force weather team set up a new tactical weather radar and tactical meteorological observation system for the Iraqi air force at Qayyarah West Airfield, Iraq, March 2.

The job, which took about four hours, is part of an ongoing process to set up a stable weather program for the Iraqi air force and provides an expanded weather capability for the program as a whole.

While installing the equipment, members of the team also did some impromptu training to help familiarize the Iraqis with the systems.

"Most of the Iraqis have been through at least one class on each of the systems," said Senior Airman Ryan Unger, a 22nd Expeditionary Weather Squadron weather technician. "During set-up, I answered any questions they had about each system and explained the importance of preventative maintenance."

Until the new systems were installed, the Iraqis had been using equipment on loan from the U.S. Air Force.

The new radar, one of four Ellason Weather Radar 600s purchased for the Iraqis, is the same system used at the Iraqi Air Operations Center in Baghdad. When used in conjunction with the new TMQ-53 weather observation system, the radar should provide the Iraqi airmen with the ability to forecast weather in the local area around the airfield.

"The weather data at Q West will be used locally to support flying operations there," said Maj. James Bono, a Iraq Training and Advisory Mission-Air senior weather adviser. "This data will also help complete the country-wide weather picture to support the missions of all services of the Iraqi military."

This expanded capability allows them to plan for flights and missions and keep aircraft safe by planning based on the weather while they work to purchase more permanent weather systems.

"This is to give them an initial capability to perform their mission," Major Bono said. The next step would be for the Iraqi air force to purchase hardened, installed weather infrastructure.

This added capability not only benefits this airfield, but also expands the Iraqi weather scope as a whole, he added.

"Airfield observations and radar data will be communicated to the Iraqi weather forecasters at the Iraqi Air Operations Center to improve the quality of forecasts and provide mission critical weather data to the IAOC," Major Bono said.

Iraqi Air Force Receives New Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device

A new reduced oxygen breathing device - second-generation system, ROBD2, has replaced the altitude chamber for refresher training for the Iraqi Air Force.
7th Aeromedical Squadron aerospace operational physiology technician Sergeant Jennifer Flecker said the new device reduced the risk of decompression sickness.
The new ROBD2 training equipment uses sophisticated gas-regulating devices that can separate nitrogen gas from air for use in the device.
The device is connected to commercially available flight-simulator software and has multiple aircraft loaded in the system, such as the T-6 Texan, C-130 Hercules and King Air 350.
Pilots and aircrew members will still continue to go to an actual altitude chamber for initial training to understand what happens to a pilot during an emergency.
The US Air Force has procured two devices for use by the Iraqi Air Force, with the first device to remain in Baghdad while the second will be installed to aid with training at Tikrit, Iraq.

First Iraqi air force instructor pilot begins training students

TIKRIT, Iraq | The first Iraqi air force instructor pilot to be certified since American forces ousted Saddam Hussein took a major step forward for the Iraqi air force March 19 here.

Lt. Col. Hussein Hamid, Iraqi air force Squadron 203 commander, flew a training mission with an Iraqi student pilot in a T-6 Texan, further developing the Iraqi air force as a self-sustaining airpower partner.

Colonel Hamid volunteered for the air force in 1980 at the age of 15 and graduated pilot training as a 2nd lieutenant in 1986.

There are currently 18 Iraqi students enrolled in flight training, and Colonel Hamid hopes to produce 30 T-6 instructor pilots. This train-the-trainer goal would mean the Iraqi air force would be able to sustain flight training long after the scheduled U.S. transition out of Iraq in December.

Lt. Col. Charles Stevens', the 52nd Expeditionary Flight Training School commander, mission is to advise and assist in building the Iraqi air force with foundational and enduring capabilities in flying training, while establishing a continuing relationship between the U.S. Air Force and Iraqi air force. He said the way ahead is filled with various challenges -- for both organizations.

"Internally, we face many challenges on how to responsibly withdraw from an active flying and advising mission," Colonel Stevens said. "The biggest issue I see is coordinating the support to sustain this mission for as long as feasible leading up to the transition." He said the main hurdle facing the Iraqi air force is fully-comprehensive support.

"Locally, our biggest hurdle is limited Iraqi air force support capabilities such as fuel, power, sewage (and) water," Colonel Stevens said. "Much progress has been made and much still remains, but 'together we can'."

Colonel Hamid agreed with Colonel Stevens and said another critical factor is aircraft maintenance.

"I think the biggest hurdle we face for the T-6 is getting the necessary support to keep our operation airborne," he said. "Items such as maintenance will be a very critical part of our success."

Still, he said he is optimistic about the future of his aviation students. Although he has many more years of experience than the trainees striving to follow his example to become instructor pilots themselves, Colonel Hamid said with determination, motivation and attention to detail, any one of them is capable of doing great things for the Iraqi air force.

"I think it is important for them to focus on the future of the Iraqi air force. I also urge them to learn from the examples set by the instructors they fly with on a daily basis as they begin to develop their instructional style and techniques," he said.
