From the article: To date, 11 Iraqi pilots have trained to fly F-16s at Tucson, according to the Air Force. Capt. Mohammed Hama Ameen became the first Iraqi pilot to graduate Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training for the Iraqi Air Force F-16 program in March 2012. ...
Whatever our weapons companies are sending to Iraq, the Israelis know two things. For one, they know more about the F16 then anyone, including us. Two, Israel has thousands of man years experience fighting in this terrain.
Those jets are symbolic and if anything will go the way of Iran’s F14’s.
