I find it ironic that they are flying a machine designed and built by western culture and they set it to western movie music. I never saw the pilot who did such fancy maneuvers, but I’ll lay odds he isn’t an Iraqi.

It is fine to have these machines and even fly them well. They are like all sophisticated machines expensive and difficult to maintain.

They were designed and built by Russia, which is not generally regarded as Western culture (although Russia has certainly been influenced by it).

These are pretty complicated machines....look for the Iraqis to master them in say .. 5 years..
No doubt they come with “operators and machinists” clause in the contract
