SAA is not siding with the PYD/PKK, they're taking territory that otherwise would be swallowed by Erdogan for his Ottoman dream. Likewise when Iraq protested Turkish attempts to involve in Tal Afar, Sinjar etc. They did not protest because of protecting the PKK but rather other ambitions till...
They're not Shia but NDF/SAA soldiers.
@cabatli_53 What is your opinion of such comments? In the end we're talking about SAA/NDF troops whom are not terrorists but soldiers in their sovereign territory and we have someone with serial killer tendencies wishing for their blood.
Biased...
It's unfortunate, especially for Egypt with its large F-16 fleet. Adding AIM-120, AIM-9X would increase EAF capabilities immensely.
At least people like the livery
Iraq's F-16's lack more than Egypt's F-16's.
Iraq's F16's lack
-AIM-120 (AIM-7 instead)
-AIM-9X (instead comes with an older AIM-9L/M)
-No JDAM, instead GBU paveway bombs
-No anti-radiation missiles
Waste of money in the name of solidifying US-Iraqi relations.
Islam ruined these people, the kids need to be re-educated outside the mosques.
They're too busy focusing on calling the Shi'a Rafida, Hizbullat etc. now knowing they're the same filth, worse in fact, Wahabi animals.
Yes military police, federal police, national police. Different names same meaning, except the situation sort of militarized them more than what a police force should be with them having artillery.
Rafale is expensive, budget constraints have to be taken into account. A large fleet is also costly to maintain and Iraq won't be able to come on par with GCC air forces, Iraq doesn't have the same oil wealth and other economic sectors remain nearly non existant.
Building an effective SAM...

No it's not wrong use, right and wrong are relative. In governments eyes unregulated markets are wrong for their own benefit and that of the banks. Regulation however is healthy and will decrease problems.
In technical terms when you say 'right' and wrong use of blockchain technology you would...
Then who to buy from, by that logic we can't buy it from the US or Europe either as they helped destroy our country.
Trying to be smart yet using such illogical reasoning, didn't work
I disagree, the weakness makes other states exploit it. Iraq is in the center of the middle east which is the worst place there is with threats in every direction. Establishing air defense / ability to enforce airspace control is basic defense capability, nothing like Iraq in the past building...
27 PMU were killed yesterday in Hawija by IS ambush, area cleared now by army/police. No one wants a Khilafa.

Seems like HQ-9 was rejected for S-400.
You launch a military operation, overwhelm the enemy. The hardcore terrorists will remain, they will die. Some will blend back with civil population starting a guerilla warfare, also they have to be eliminated. A large portion will return back to civil life, they've to be educated.. this time...
The solution is not to kill every one of them but to take power, restore order. They will fade back to civil society, fixing their brains is a long-term process that involves altering/minimizing religious influence over society. The problem lies within the religious teachings. Killing won't stop...
