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.

OH-58 Kiowa

Le drapeau en gros partout, c'est pour pas etre confondu avec l'armée US...

Je dirais plutôt qu'il cherche une ... identité

c´est pas des Kiowa,mais IA-407,version iraquienne du Bell 407 ARH

Point de vue matériel, j'adorais l'armée de Saddam. Même si elle était super mal commandée (Saddam s'est révélé aussi mauvais statége qu'Hitler, c'est dire)...
Aujourd'hui l'armée Iraquienne ressemble à 1 division de l'armée US.

dans peu de temps elle resseblera a nouveau a l'armée de sadam car ils ont pas le choix si il veulent vraiment avoir du materiele performant,et vu la direction que prend leurs gouvernement on est pas loin du couac définitif un peu comme avec les iraniens

Pas sur, les contacts avec les Russe n'ont pas abouti (c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire (hein, Yak ). Du moins pour l'instant).

Mais même si ces contacts n'ont pas abouti, au moins ils sont pris...

Iraqi Army to receive additional Bell 407 Scout helicopters from US
16 January 2013

The US Army has provided three additional Bell Helicopter-built 407 Scout helicopters with associated services to the Iraqi Army Aviation Command.

Encompassing spares parts, ground support equipment and tools and logistical aircraft maintenance support, the delivery represents the sixth completed shipment of Iraqi Armed 407 Scout helicopter under a foreign military sales (FMS) contract signed with Iraq in 2009.

Covering a total delivery of 24 armed Bell 407 helicopters, along with logistical support services, including pilot training, the contract was awarded in an effort to build an advanced, dependable capability in the Iraqi Army Aviation Command, eventually ensuring peace and security in the country.

US Army Security Assistance Command Central Command region operations deputy director Kevin Richardson said the delivery was a result of collaborative efforts between many organisations in and outside of Redstone Arsenal and the helicopters would be thoroughly evaluated prior to actual delivery to Iraq."We are building partner capacity, which means the Iraqi's are building their own capability that allows them to perform operations that the US is no longer there to provide," Richardson added.

US Army Aviation and Missile Command source Kenneth Morgan said the helicopters would also be operated for internal requirements, such as patrol and security missions, as well as border security operations.

The first batch of three T-407 helicopters was delivered to the Iraqi Army in December 2011, to train pilots in operation and maintenance of the helicopters.

Equipped with intelligence and data-link capabilities, the Bell 407 is a single-engine multipurpose utility helicopter, designed to support Iraqi military intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and counter-terrorism operations
