Yeah, according to Wikipedia they have an IL-76 Candid that had a radome grafted onto it by Iraq. They flew it to Iran in 1991. Some reports say that the AWACS system on it was no longer operational.

BTW, we were supposed to sell them E-3s, but the revolution prevented that and the Saudis ended up with the jets.
