The first group of the America "F16" planes will reach i-rack this year The i-racki Minister of Defense by proxy disclosed that it is scheduled to arrive the first group of "F16" America fighter to i-rack by the end of this year. Saadoun al-Dulaimi the i-rack's defense minister by proxy announced for Almada-Presse, that "In the context of a military deal between the U.S. and i-rack, the U.S. government by the end of this year will deliver the first group of the F16 fighter to i-rack." Al-Dulaimi highlighted that "i-rack will receive the first batch of Russian arms in 2014 under the deal signed between Baghdad and Moscow valued at $ 4.2 billion." Al-Dulaimi pointed out that, in addition to the United States and Russia, the i-racki government plans to buy weapons and military equipment from many countries. It is worth noting, that the i-racki Ministry of Defense has announced in 2011 "that it has signed an agreement with Washington to buy 36 aircraft model F16 and in two-stage".

We should start buying anti jet guns now, we have anti helis, now to buy some anti jets in case the genocidal iracki freaks pull any stunts on Kurdish areas outside of KRG. |

As for The Turkmen & Arabs, they have not been already existed at the time. | |

Ah yes, the American bastards strike again. But as Kurdistano said, we need to declare independence before then, maybe they will come even earlier, and this date would just be to manipulate with us, who knows. |

They won't do anything, even if they get the F16's and we aren't independent yet. If they do, they'll lose much more then they would gain. A war is not only fought by F16's, Saddam had 1000x times more and we annihilated him constantly - that's why they went on with the Anfal campaign. If they strike us, that will give us a valid reason to annexate Kerkuk and declare independence. So it's not that simple. And remember there are still US forces (Air Force Bases) in Kurdistan, so even if they'd strike, US-jets would take them down (no-fly zone) |

Edit: wwb2 I know for a fact they cant strike KRG as US conditions are the weapons can't be used for civil wars even against sunnis these can't be used if they do they will very much dig their own grave like saddam did first of all the no fly zone will be reborn again.. an international arm embargo will be placed on them... they can't even attack us in the Kurdish areas of SK outside of KRG administration but it will give them a leverage over their demands vs ours. that is all it will do. |

Also don't forget Exxon Mobil is in Kurdistan now. Oil companies have more power than Barack Obama. They would lose billions in case of a war and all the infrastructure, pipelines, tourism sector, etc. would be for nothing. Maliki is stupid, but I don't think he is THAT stupid to risk being killed by CIA/Asayish if they even smell something about him wanting to attack us. It's not that simple anymore. We are too established to be taken out of power. KRG is a fact, Independence of South-Kurdistan is the next step. Nothing can stop that. |

I think US will make up something not to send them, I mean giving i-rack jets is like giving Iran jets, then Iran will try and copy (they will fail) everything about those jets. |

I agree, first US would never forgive them if they use the jets against SK, and second they are not that stupid to use them.

Guys you people seem to overreact. How many F16 could they get this year, 10? This is nothing considering a usual army has at least 100 Jets. 10-20 Jets are destroyed within weeks. And if the Americans would really expect that Maliki could damage Kurdistan with them they wouldn't sell it for sure. Why should they help Irans slave to gain more control? |

USA gave Barzani garantees A senior Kurdish politician from KRG has revealed that, the USA has given Barzani guarantees for the F16s been sent to I-rack in mid 2014, and said that the jets will not be used against South Kurdistan. The Source has revealed 3 conditions for sending the jets in mid 2014 to I-rack. First condition is that, the war in Syria must be ended by then so that Maliki does not use the jets to help Assad. Second condition is that Maliki will not be re-elected for a third term and the last condition is that the person after Maliki will not be pro-Iran. http://niha24.com/Direje.aspx?Jimare=18464 |

I hope Barzani realizes that this "guarantee" has the same value as a toilet paper. |

I wish my country hadn't agreed to sell those F-16s to the central government in Baghdad. I've never trusted Nouri al Maliki, and he seems to be too friendly with even worse elements like Moqtada al Sadr and his League of the Righteous. But at least some of the pilots trained to fly them are Kurds, so maybe when Iraq dissolves a few of those jets can be flown north. I understand the KRG has been sending students abroad, to attend flight school. This seems very prudent. The Kurds' lack of an air force has forced them to depend on others to guard their airspace and provide close support in the campaign against ISIS, and although I love my country I have to tell you that my people are very divided - some of us (particularly in the American military) admire the Kurds and believe our country should promote Kurdish independence, but there are others who feel we should quit the Middle East and end our involvement there, and make little distinction between direct military action and providing support to friendly forces. You can't predict what the United States will do in future because every Administration is different - you have to become as self-reliant as possible.

As long as US has an Airbase in Kurdistan they won't be able to do anything. But it would be allot better if we would get some Jets too.

Becoming self reliant are my sentiments exactly. Unfortunately most Kurds seem to be passively unmotivated about this and the KRG in particular will not do anything except whine that they can't get weapons from the "central government" and all the begging to the European powers has had similar results. No one especially the US seems to want the Kurds to have heavy weapons and even though the Baghdad government gets weapons that are supposed to go to the Kurds nothing of any consequence seems to be getting through. They need heavy weapons to fight this war and especially to replace the worn out junk they have but will do nothing but sit and wait for someone to hand it to them instead of proactively seeking sources themselves. This incredible attitude of passive complacency seems absolutely bizarre as it seems they would rather play the victim and expect someone to protect them than buy what they need to stave off the next disaster caused by one of their genocidal neighbors. Its my opinion that they have oil revenue and with this could buy anything especially the high tech heavy weapons that are absolutely necessary for self defence. I am saddened by this attitude as I think they have the infrastructure to build weapons like tanks. I don't think it would even be a stretch that they would be capable of building aircraft. |
