Been reports of possible

- Mig 29m2 / mig 35
- SU 30
- Dassault Rafale / Eurofighter typhoon
- JF 17

USA is denying advanced weapons or F15s which Iraq requested years ago.
It will take a long time before the air force fighters will have multiple operational squadrons, 10 years for a decent air force still not able to compete with most neighbours.

No country in the ME can get its hand on the F-15, it is a killing machine.

They could have signed multiple contracts long time ago. But, training is the issue, it takes a long period of time. The MiG-35 is a great option anyways.

The RSAF might order Dassault Rafale, they signed an understanding memorandum agreement in 2010.

They could but do take in mind the Iraqi GDP just reached 131 billion in 2012 giving more possibility of signing these expensive deals.
Last year the US approved selling Apaches to Iraq of 1 apache being the price of 3 Mi 28s, so they went for the 2nd.
The delivery of the F16s will start next year, only it will take them to 2018 to deliver all 36 f16s, they had plans of getting 96 F16s though I do not know if they will stop at 36 or continue.

Russia’s Rosoboronexport Company has concluded its first contract to supply Iraq with the Ka-52 helicopters, RIA Novosti reported from the Le Bourget aerospace show that was opened on Monday citing a source in the Russian delegation.



Speaking at a news conference, head of the delegation Alexander Mikheev said that the first contract to supply the K-52 helicopters was signed but did not mention the contract value and the country.
The contract was signed with Iraq in the framework of the 2012 agreement, the source said.

Why MiG-29M? You should go after MiG-35, the Russians have placed their order for their own Air Force long time ago. Also, it is highly unlikely that the Russians will agree to sell out Su-35.

Don't buy American weapons!

We tried to lure the Russians by placing an order of 100 MiG-35, in return they must remove Assad. The Qatari's did something similar.
