“The Su-25 party (three cars) arrived in Iraqi territory in accordance with the contract signed with the Russian side,” said at-Tamimi.

The details of the transaction is not reported.

“The stormtroopers will be commissioned soon. This will give the Iraqi army an additional advantage in the fight against terrorist groups, including the Daesh (“Islamic State”), ”he added.

According to TASS, this is not the first batch of attack aircraft, supplied by the Russian side to the Iraqi military during the current conflict.

The agency’s reference: “Su-25 is a Russian attack aircraft designed to provide round-the-clock support to ground units in direct line of sight, as well as to destroy targets with given coordinates in any weather conditions.”

And the Iraqis are buying ours! Though under the Americans. And "brothers" not when they were not, but please love our weapons and that's it.

[i80186]

Just Americans do not sell the A-10 to anyone, even Israel, and attack aircraft are needed. And the last A-10s were released back in the 80s.

The tested model is taken. Appreciated the work of Dryers in Syria.

The work has been appreciated since the days of Afghanistan! Doesn't need big advertising. No other attack aircraft in the world has such a layout, and such an armored capsule! Here the Rooks flew!

[Simon]

Apparently such rubbish has been kept secret since the 80s!

[Observer2014]

i80186 by the way, you pushed me to such a question. And in general, how many attack aircraft (species in the world)? I am silent about any "bronco" But exactly so that there was a "flying tank"?

[tol100v]

Quote: Observer2014

"And just to have a" flying tank "?

IL-2 and Su-25!

[Observer2014]

tol100v
I agree!

[PHANTOM-AS]

I’m thinking that Sykok Iraq deducted the lard of raccoons to Iraq, and now the contract is paid?

[stas]

There is even better - Su-39.

exactly what "flying tank" was?

American A-10 "thunderbolt", "warthog" (warthog), he is tenacious, bastard, although it looks dumb, with minimal armor. Papuans gouge only on the way, in the presence of air defense - piss on kerosene, works only as a vulture. In comparison with the SU-25, it is quite, but by no means better. It also flies, since 2015 there are several in estonia to intimidate "aggressive Russians". Wiping for the SU-34 chassis at this time, in short. Strategists are planning to replace only the F-35A (they are fuckers!), They are not going to create anything else, the rest of the loot was spent on cutting, well, that's wonderful. Such is the reference.

A-10 was upgraded to version A-10C. The interesting thing is that a total of 715 A-10s were produced, and now the United States has 294 aircraft in service. Where did the rest of the planes go? In reserve?

[Pete mitchell]

The A-10 stands in neat rows at AMARCe in Arizona, storage base next to Davis-Montan AFB. The base itself is the "home" for the A-10. They even brought the T-55 from Iraq there, as a keepsake.
In general, there are only two tanks: A-10 and Su-25, both of which have no replacement yet.

And there is no choice, the American A-10 "Wardog" is no longer being produced, and the US is not going to sell its stocks yet, despite the fact that for 3 years there has been talk of an early write-off of the A-10.

[Simon]

This is good, the market for our weapons is expanding!

[Denis Obukhov]

But I'm more interested in, is it removed from the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense? as far as I remember, nobody is producing rooks here.

[pavelty]

From the presence of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Sukhoi did not even participate in the conclusion of a contract

[Denis Obukhov]

Much more important is whether SVP-24 Hephaestus is there.

Of course, I understand that there is no way for the Americans to rip off our system, because the first ones have it counted ONLY for our bombs, that is, "square to round - invisible." And secondly - tied to GLONASS. They all can’t get rid of our engines and helicopters there.

Well, of course, they will do something similar for the okhulyard, but only THEIR manufacturers of "gadgets" to taxi their bombs will be "very offended." And everyone will do so that such a system is not developed

[Muvka]

SVP24As far as I know, it is intended only for the Su-24.

[Aleksandr1959]

A similar system will be put on one of the modifications of the Su-25

For the SGA, it is not economically feasible! They have a different pricing policy. Especially for other countries!

Two years ago there was news of a fast delivery of 10 Su-25s, as the Yankees promised to consider deliveries of the F-16, only 15 months after the date of the application. Either the application was submitted at the wrong time, or it was not correctly executed, but the SGA is in no hurry to "throw something in," except for the pig

[Aleksandr1959]

Those 10 Su-25s were in storage before delivery. It seems that three more delivered aircraft from the same source.

[xavbek7]

USSR remember, who were they? what they have in service with. What are they familiar with? What is the easiest technique?
Here is the answer ..

[Stalker.1977]

Yes, Iraq buys everything from them there whole hodgepodge:

The Iraqi Air Force suffered heavy casualties during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, but it remains a serious force, although aircraft are prohibited from flying outside the zone established by the Allies for the anti-Iraq coalition. It is believed that the most powerful and efficient aircraft of the Iraqi Air Force remains the F1EQ Mirage fighter. The MiG-21, MiG-25 and MiG-29 aircraft are also in service (it is believed that only 8 MiG-29 aircraft survived the Desert Storm), the number of which is unknown. There is also army aviation in Iraq, the basis of which is about 110 helicopters, including combat Mi-24s.
The main types in service
Fighters and attack aircraft:
Chengdu F-7, Mirage F1, MiG-21,
MiG-23, MiG-25, MiG-29, Su-22, Su-25. Transport Aviation: An-12, An-24,
An-26, IL-76.
TCB: L-29, L-39, Tukano, AS-202 Bravo, Zlin Z326. Helicopters: SA-330, Bell 214, MD-500, Mi-6, Mi-8, Mi-17, Gazelle, Mi-24, Aluet III.

Pure practicality. Russian weapons showed their best side in a real theater of war. In addition, the price is clearly more profitable.

[nazar_0753]

Attack aircraft are good. True, I am concerned about the fact that the Iraqis do not really like something - they constantly abandon or lose. How much they were supplied with - and as if we were sending to Narnia

[Petr1]

constantly quit or lose. How much have they all been delivered - and as if we are sending to Narnia [/ quote]
Well this is not bad, not free ... still sell!

[Prisoner]

I bought equipment, I did not buy a good fly. It happens.

[donavi49]

Well, their losses are mostly justified.

Sesna with the Mavericks shot down. The Iranian Su-25 (the first Rooks delivered by Iran - 2 cars and 2 UB, which they later took away) - crashed in a combat mission, or crashed, or a technical malfunction (the cars are still Iraqi overflights, without normal service), or a pilot. Mi-35 are all lost in battle, the recent Mi-35 was shot at by the MZA, but it was pulled and dropped already at the location of the Iraqi army.

And the Iraqis that Narnia, that Swinarnia, one hell. Most importantly, Schaub is bigger and free!

Here he is, as good as new

[tatarin_ru]

for some reason, the article does not say how much will be delivered?
Maybe they gave it into operation for testing before discussing a major contract?

[donavi49]

What sample? Iran’s Grach is working in Iraq (the second crashed, in hostile territory - the reasons are unclear, the pilot died), according to other sources, 4 Su-25 IRIAF without sale (temporarily), 6 Su-25, 2 Su-25UB. It seems they wanted to bring to 12 Su-25.

[Mister22408]

Delivered for money, I wonder, or under honest Arabic?

[Holsten]

The main thing is that these "rooks" will fly in the right direction and serve the necessary "clients".

But in vain, ironic, the A-10 has a not very familiar layout, but as a ground attack aircraft it is quite. Now there are not many of them in the ranks, due to age, that’s not often flickered.

[Ajent cho]

I can’t imagine what’s happening in Iraq right now.

[Ros 56]

Well, at least a link for a start, and then bread. Not immediately Moscow was built.
