The Iraqi Armed Forces

Osama bin Laden and his earth worms brethern in Algeria were terrified of the missile and of the Super hind MKIII

Super hind is that with S.african opticals and avionics.

Yes, that when Algeria was under embargo. They turned to South Africa and upgraded all her Mi24 in South African and later in the country.

embargo

Why because you were fighting terrorism.

The same one that are behind Iraq ans Syria destruction , planned Algeria demise in the 90's. It was so bad, that the country couldn't even buy a shotgun shell...Luckily we had South Africa, they didn't forgot the Algerian contribution to their independence and few other countries from the Warsaw pact.

Iraq needs to turn to traditional arms suppliers. She will get better and more potent equipment that the one she is getting from the US. Egypt and UAE woke up to that fact last summer when Egypt tried to use UAE's F16 to strike ISIS in Lybia after they beheaded 28 Egyptan coptes.

Israel still relies heavily on the F-16 and used them to destroy a Syrian reactor a few years back. Are you really saying that Egypt can't beat cavemen for want of a more sophisticated jet fighter?

Nope.. But Egypt can't fight with Israels (thanks to the friend n foe identification system on its F-16) nor does it possess BVR.. Apart from the "sidewinders".

Israel removes the American IFF system from its variant of the F-16 by removing all the electronics in the plane and replacing them with indigenously developed systems. Egypt could potentially do this but does not have the know-how to build their own systems.

If the issue preventing Egypt from winning against cavemen is the IFF system then how will that be resolved by upgrading to a newer plane?

No.. US didn't even allow Israel to replace the avionics .. They didn't even allow them to use the elta radar.. (They did however allow em to use Israeli weapons)..

Upgrading it won't change anything.. IFF in Turkish F-16s was replaced by an indigenous one by TAI (which produces/assembled them).. The main idea is that the radar wouldn't be able to differentiate between the enemy or the friendly aircraft in the sky... Apart from that egypts f-16s are useless ... Coz they don't have BVR missiles like AMRAAM etc...

The Israeli F16 are equipped with sophisticated hardware and software suite , that Egyptians F-16 doesn't possesses, No BVR, a radar equivalent of the one used in the F-4 , no guided long range missiles and the list is long and wide. ISIS are hardly cavemen, The US, Turkey, Jordan, Kuweit and Qatar supplies them with weapons among other thing...
The UAE F-16 when Egypt wanted to use them were either remotely or locally disabled, the UAE pilots couldn't even fire the engines. That the reason the Egyptians went to France , because French are less picky on how their goods are used.
