Good read. Perhaps this should be done to Israeli pilots in the future.

It was done by Iranian militias

Iranian milities? Come on, use some common sense and critical thinking.

Iraqi militias backed by Iran. They are not Iranian by birth.

Iran and US are natural allies,whatever US has done in ME has one way or another way helped Iran.

Revenge is sweet. They bombed Kurdish kids and women the so called majoosis by chemical weapons. I am not a kurd but i feel for them.

By refusing to stay in Iran they indirectly announced that they don't regret the past hence signing their own death sentence. They could be potential US allies to destroy ANTI-ISIS allies of Iran therefore ISIS could have a Path into Iran what Americans and the Sauds had planned for. Let's not forget that they were former US allies.

You`re [deliberately?] confusing the law of unintended consequences with deliberate intent I`m afraid.There is a literal vast difference between taking advantage of someone elses repeated mistakes,as iran has often done with the wests countless idiotic mistakes in the region,and deliberately intending to help another with your actions.
Only a complete fool,a blind idiot or a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist could ever believe that the west and iran were "natural allies",whatever that means,or that the west had ever done anything to help iran.Only someone who was completely ignorant of the last 40+ years of history in the mena region could even attempt to make such a stupid claim with a straight face.
PS
Just out of curiosity which one of the above are you?

My monies on this one......

Which coward pilot attacks innocent civilians with chemical weapons or bombs civilian areas with military grade bombs ? This was a sweet revenge. Rest in hell.

This is not some article by yahoo news you dumb idiot. It is a research backed up by evidence.. i guess reading for hezbollahis must be so difficult. Also, this is widely known though.. so do not even bother.

Zionist zionist.. did a zionist shit in your breakfast today you aghaboftade bache hezbollahi ? you do not even dare to touch them.

There are two stories about this:

first story is what the article says..Iran and allied kurds and shia were taking revenge from mostly Sunni pilots that enjoyed bombing Iranian and kurdish civilian populations.

second story is that it was done by Israel to ensure Iraq will not be able to rebuild its airforce but blame it on Iran to create anti Iran view in Iraq.

I do not know which story is true but in either case those Iraqi pilots were war criminals (following orders does not wash). They got what they deserved and it should be an example to Israeli and Saudi soldiers and pilots that are killing civilians ..one day tables will turn and you guys have to pay...Syrian, Palestinian and Yemenis will remember you.

I agree. Mossad might have been also involved but i do not see why they felt threatened by saddam-era Iraqi pilots. If they were involved then it was probably on a much lesser scale compared to that of Iran's campaign.

In any way, Saddam era pilots were scum of the earth, there were those that defected to Iran and repented but those that did not and continued to serve a suicidal dictator were bound to be killed anyway.

Iran's hardpower in the region must be respected.

It remains the strongest country in the region.

Let this thread be a reminder of it.

I almost spite out my water.. By assassinating old *** pilots by that time while in truth they bombarded Iran in the 80s but some ragtag local militias assassinated them 2 decades to late when there was absolutely no need for them since the entire regime had fallen to Americans anyways.

An irrelevant act by itself and had no benefits or gains whatsoever. No strategic value whatsoever. It's like emptying a machine gun into open desert aiming at nobody

It instills fear.

Show me Iraq Airforce?

Iraq has airforce today and pilots. how? what kinda of fear? assassinting old pilots probably being hunted by Americans anyways. They won't even know why and who killed them. If you even told them who did it they would laugh. It's ridiculous narrative wise.

It's only an act you do before entering war or during war or if you personally take over a country and need to eliminate threat but that was not the case here. Iraq has been under American occupation for nearly 2 decades

Iraq maybe occupied on paper by America but it is colonised by Iran on the ground.
