Iraq has bought used Su24 from Russia and Belarus to fight terrorist after F-16 delayed delivery

[forcetrip]

Su-25 would have done a much better job.
While Su-24 is an all weather attack aircraft, Su-25 is a dedicated ground attack and close air support fighter jet, much like the American A-10.
Also, they would have got two Su-25 for the price of one Su-24.

The picture on Al Jazeera is also of a SU-24. Everyone is saying its SU-25 that have reached Iraq.

Surprising that the Americans delayed in supplying, usually they are bang on target on delivery

To fight terrorists ? Does that means they'll bomb the green zone in Baghdad ?!

No, they are going to bomb ISIS terrorists.

Like the S-300 delivery to Iran ?

Dont talk nonesense, Iran has bought S-300 systems and paid for them, but you never delivered them due to US pressure.

So dont give us the Russia reliable rubbish.

 

[SwAggeR]

Now this should boost the morale of Iraqi army.

May be if need be SU-25 will be flown by Russian pilots.

Very good point my friend. I support Russia and Iran but in this instance Russia acted like a cheap hooker.

If USA really wanted to fight terrorism it wouldn't have delayed their weapons delivery to Iraq for years...

 

[SekrutYakhni]

It is a dangerous initiative.

Pup Jihadis can ask Chechens to wage Jihad against Russian interests.

Russia should stay away from Mossad/CIA/Arab/MI6 Jihad games.

just don't ignore this simple fact that USA is the one who TRAINED ISIS thugs and supporting Syrian rebels ( and they freely share their weapon with their ISIS brothers ... )
