After the agreement the handover of sovereignty to the Iraqi side in June of 2004 did not make the Iraqi officials efforts to rebuild the most important part of the armed forces and of the Air Force, where the lost opportunity for the possibility of buying fighter jets from several origins global including the United States to secure Iraqi airspace for the post-withdrawal U.S. and reduce dependence on the United States in this regard.
But the link arms purchases cases of corruption by senior officials of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, as in the case of the former defense minister Hazem Shaalan embezzling the largest amount in the history of the Iraqi government and the estimated one billion dollars, when the Minister Shaalan and assisted by a number of officials in the ministry on a personal connection by establishing a fictitious company in one of the capitals of Iraq's Arab neighbors and to refer deals to buy weapons to it and at prices as high as ten times the original price and transfer these amounts to the balances in one foreign banks and the purchase of weapons beyond the service of the Iraqi army as weapons of modern and sophisticated formed a blow to efforts by Iraq official building developed army, in addition to the Government's preoccupation with file security and address the implications of the existence of thousands of armed terrorists on Iraqi soil, including several large Arab and foreigners, who launched a savage war on the government and the Iraqi citizens lost in the reality and the valuable time of the interesting file to rebuild the Iraqi air force who were not steps taken in the past to rebuild enough to restore it to its previous level, where the government does not hold any transactions for the purchase of advanced fighter jets from any party whatsoever despite numerous visits by the senior officials in the government of many European countries, which have factories to produce military aircraft and, although the abundance of the Iraqi budget, which allows the government to conclude these deals and buy many kinds of advanced military aircraft, making the country in a difficult position, especially that Iraq does not possess any of the fighter jets will make it permanent and continuous need to fly to protect the American air space.
It is true that the Iraqi government recently signed an agreement to buy U.S. aircraft developed from Taraz F-16, but that this deal will take long years before Iraq is able to acquire these aircraft and fly by the Iraqi pilots because of the actions the U.S. government and the approval of the U.S. Congress, which takes a long time before weapons are delivered by the contractor. That only the purchase of aircraft from the U.S. side is not be enough, because the country needs to many of the aircraft and from several destinations such as France and Russia to diversify its sources of weapons and ensure the independence of national decision and promote the process of maintaining the sovereignty of Iraq in anticipation of any changes or pressures may be exposed to future Iraqi governments by the U.S. side, in addition to Iraq's vast experience in dealing with weapons purchased from Russia and France as the arming of the former army was mostly in Russia and the French, especially in the aviation shops.
Made up the Iraqi Air Force currently several dozen light aircraft designed for the purposes of surveillance and reconnaissance a small aircraft and is designed for the purpose of engagement war or attack the ground, which means that we do not have any possibility for the protection of Iraqi airspace from any violations would be handled by planes of neighboring countries and others of Iraqi airspace. Also, the face of terrorist gangs armed require a fighter to the Iraqi army to bomb shelters and nests of these groups and to provide auxiliary of the security services and not to allow these elements to escape, because the direct confrontation with the forces of the army equinus lead to additional casualties in its ranks, as well as that deprive them of an surprise in a raid on the bunkers and captured the elements of terrorist groups armed, in addition to the possibility of prosecution in the event to enable them to escape, a strategy is necessary, especially since these groups may try to exploit the security vacuum and the existence of shortcomings in the processing of the security forces with weapons and equipment to carry out terrorist attacks across the scattered in the country, a scenario expected to occur at any moment.
Have caused the looting suffered by the camps and the rules of the Iraqi Air Force after the collapse and the fall of the former regime in the smuggling of many modern fighter planes and sophisticated, which was the former Iraqi army owned and the system buried in the sand to avoid destruction by the U.S. Air Force, which sold the aircraft in scrap markets as part of them went to the smelting furnaces and converted to iron bars, making a large loss. And that any government entity did not address these aircraft to track and recover from the hands of scrap dealers in many areas of Iraq, who kept these planes a long time before they cut it later and sell them as spare metal is worthless. The correspondent of the French Press Agency in a report prepared several years ago that the dealer Hardware, Iraq had maintained a military aircraft Iraqi MiG - 25 advanced in the courtyard of the warehouse for a long time before they sell them out of Iraq, the price reached 25 thousand dollars, although he obtained the price of one million Iraqi dinars only by one of the citizens, where it was possible to trace and recover the aircraft and perform maintenance on and returned to service again Rima government can buy new aircraft and used in the multi-purpose warships. The delay in the rehabilitation of the Iraqi Air Force is not serving the trends towards the formulation of the independence of a national integrated and properly away from the pressures faced by the country after the U.S. withdrawal and repeat the scenario of the past (1958-1963) in which he was Iraq's vulnerable to the pressures of regional practiced by Arab countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, an international such as the U.S. and Britain, which led to the arrival of the Baath Party to power a bloody coup and opened the way for the dominance of authoritarian dictatorial powers and the establishment of totalitarian regimes, which plunged the country in the traps of war and crisis is ended.
The process of rebuilding the Air Force and air defense network need to be well thought out plans and to provide funds as well as to Brlat and skills do not look now available does not amount to half of what at the neighbors of weapons of similar State of the size of Kuwait superior to us in my weapon aviation and air defense it has more than 80 aircraft fighter modern and sophisticated aircraft and attack helicopters of the Apache, as well as systems of Patriot missiles that drop of any aircraft or missiles can be close to Kuwaiti territory, while reported to already have a radar and only one was brought from the Czech Republic to protect the skies of Iraq that need to be more than 100 radar of this type, in addition to the balance of the Iraqi army air defense weapons up to almost zero the indicators confirm that the road is still long before the government can repair the gap current and fill the void and to develop plans and monitor the budgets of financial seem necessary to protect the country and the maintenance of national independence, which is not possible to be integrated without the presence of a deterrent force.
