The Iraqi air force in support of the Iraqi armed forces in the ground right arm and her supporter and responsible for protecting the skies of Iraq, one of the oldest military institutions in the field of competence in the region and its mission of border control, national property and carry out air operations.

Founded in the twenty-second of April 1931, when Iraq was under British influence, it has been trained group of pilots in Britain, who returned to Baghdad with planes to Washash Airport (now Muthanna military airport); to form the first nucleus of the Iraqi air force.

And it reached the Iraqi air force, its peak and power after the Iran-Iraq war 1980 1988, as the census of its aircraft around 1050 aircraft was to become one of the largest air force in the region, but was soon weakened, as nearly 500 aircraft destroyed the equivalent of half the power of the air force in the war second Gulf 1991, and part of which Ootman Iran has reached 150 aircraft to protect them from the US bombing. Which are valued at the time 27 years ago, 1.6 billion US dollars; and after the end of the Gulf War, Iraq demanded returns secured aircraft to Iran, but declined to return the Secretariat to Iraq, and considered part of the compensation of the Iran-Iraq war, and tried to Iraq, struggling to enter mediators but without feasibility, and then imposed coalition forces after the war-fly zones in northern and southern Iraq, and the rest of the Iraqi aircraft destroyed during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and did not destroy the sale of scrap.

The agreement, which escaped under which Iraqi aircraft to Iran during the 1991 Gulf War, when the coalition forces led by the US prepare for the war on Iraq, who tried to restore its relations with Iran to negotiate to minimize losses as much as possible from the results of the expected war, and the agreement between the two countries, the usefulness of mutual on specific points, as it was agreed on the following:

• Open air traffic between the two countries and linking Basra International Airport via Abadan Airport Iranian air transport network.

• exchange of information and experiences in the meteorological and open mail and coordination between the telephone lines and services Telegraphic through the ground station '' Intelsat ''

• open area of ​​maritime transport and ports between the two countries and to allow ships and ships Iraqi to dock in Iranian waters, and specifically in the ports of Bandar Khomeini and Bandar Abbas for fear of American threats and suggested the Iranian side of the maritime transport from the port of Bandar Khomeini to the port of Umm Qasr in Basra province, while Iraq proposed study the possibility of exporting Iraqi oil through Iranian ports and extending an oil pipeline across the Shatt al-Arab to the port of Bandar Khomeini to take care of Iraq to implement this project in terms of expenditure

• activating trade exchange between the two countries within the contexts to be agreed upon.

• The use of the railway train from the port of Bandar Khomeini to Muhammara them and to Basra through the establishment of a new extension of the railway from Muhammara to Basra to facilitate passenger and cargo transport between the two countries.

• Opening lines for road travel for tourism and religious visits between the two countries, and Iraq offered to open a passage between Khanaqin and Iranian Shirin Palace special visitors.

• The most important agreements is to secure Iraqi aircraft, Iran has temporarily until the end of the war, but this insurance raised a lot of reservations, especially since the two countries came out of the war of 1980 -1988 continued martyred and wounded and hinder the approximately one million people, was not the Iraqi and Iranian wounds healed after by the war, but it is necessary to retrieve some of the options that were on the table in front of the Iraqi leadership before ruling on the validity of selected not Liran whether or not, when the war broke out was the air coverage of coalition countries in control of the battle sky completely, and indicated intelligence that military and civilian aircraft target In less than an hour, on the basis put forward the following options:

1. pushing aircraft in air battles with aircraft coalition forces resulting in the loss of aircraft and pilots as well as air military defeat of the first round with the exception of MiG aircraft and advanced Mirage, the rest of the aircraft can not be confronted with modern aircraft in terms of number and combat capability and speed of maneuver, which will reflect negatively the morale of the pieces of land, which was adopted by the Iraqi leadership and the trump card in the war.

2. keep the aircraft in the bunkers without the participation in the fighting, and the loss of this option would be all aircraft.

3. The last option to try to smuggle a neighboring countries only international law can not coalition aircraft attacked Iraqi aircraft in the event of its presence in another country because it is a violation of the sovereignty of that State and declare war on them, and this option believes in maintaining some of the aircraft in the event of not destroyed during attempt to one fleeing neighboring countries, which represents less damaging options.

4 - which brought the military leaders at the time to study ways military coordination and pave the way for cooperation of Iraqi Iranian after the parties have a lot of allies in the region, as well as coordination on Iraqi civilian and military aircraft transferred to Iran in order to avoid the destruction of the aircraft by the coalition forces. On January 15, 1991 on the eve of military operations against Iraq was transferred for the first meal about 33 Iraqi aircraft to Iran between civilian and military aircraft.
5 - For it to know the number of aircraft seized in Iran is approximate because the number of planes that have been dropped by the coalition forces was not known,

The estimated aircraft worth 1.6 billion US dollars, 27 years ago, and has the Iraqi aircraft was transferred to the Iranian airports operation in a manner of tension from the moment of take - off until allowed to land, and to camouflage took off from different Iraqi bases to land in the rules of Iranian sporadic.
The transfer is in a very short time limits for the disposal of monitoring the US early warning aircraft , AWACS E-3 and Hawkeye E-2 and to avoid prosecution and interception of fighter aircraft Intruder A6 - F18 - F16 - F15 Alliance Flying in Iraqi airspace, which was receiving the clock guidance and electronic signals from radar and air space satellites for Iraqi aircraft movement.
Once the border crossed into Iranian territory was the Iraqi pilot addressed by contacting the Iranian aircraft objecting P - 4 Phantom on the transmission waves of international wireless accepted emergency, seeking permission from the Iranian airports where he was, authorized him after the notice of Iranian observation towers and get permission to land.

In the days of Iraqi aircraft secured departure Altjaiha to Iran discovered AWACS aircraft monitoring and warning squadron Iraqi aircraft consisting of seven aircraft heading east towards the Iranian border Vondhirt formations of aircraft F - 15 US, but the squadron Iraqi aircraft had crossed the border and reached Iranian airspace and landed with its crew safely at Mehrabad air base on Tehran's borders and prevented the Iranian leadership aircraft (MiG-29 fighter to Volkerm and huge transport aircraft Ilyushin - 76) Iraqi military landing in Tehran for unspecified reasons and ordered the aircraft to go to the Iranian city of Zahedan, near the border Alba Stanih.

During the nineties of the last century , it declared the Director - General of Iraqi Airways earlier, he visited Iran twice for talks on the return of the aircraft, but the Iranian side refused to allow the Iraqi delegation to see the aircraft.
Iran did not announce the actual number of Iraqi aircraft that relate to the safety of lost Petit to the process of taking it in compensation Iran - Iraq war, and rejected any talks on this side with Iraq or other contract and warned Iranian officials allies in the Iraqi government from talking about it.

These pictures show how changed the identity of the Iraqi aircraft to Iran, why Aatalib Iraq from Iran 's government re - aircraft.
While Iraqi officials refuse to talk about the fate of Iraqi civilian aircraft in Iran, the international aviation expert and general manager of Iraqi Airways previously confirmed the presence of these aircraft to Iran, and stressed that he is not restored.

Officials in the Iraqi Ministry of Transport announced through a press statement, they did not negotiate for the restoration of civil and military aircraft in Iran.

Iraqi officials and the airline apologized to declare anything about the Iraqi aircraft in Iran, which is what happened with officials in the Iraqi Ministry of Transport.

Civil aviation experts said that Iran is using Iraqi aircraft in internal transport, since smuggled by more than 27 years, where he changed the identity of Iranian aircraft paint in colors, and the Iranian civil aviation authorities changed the identity of the Iraqi civilian aircraft, to Iranian paint in the Iranian aircraft colors.
, Efforts have failed to convince the Commission of the United Nations to re - boycott Iraqi civilian aircraft to Iraq.

It is ironic task that the BBC, published on 2 July 2014, the batch of aircraft, which was sold by Iran to Iraqi forces during the occupation Daesh of the city of Mosul is an Iraqi originally, said analysts at the International Institute IISS in London, said the planes are the same security Iraq in Iran since 1991, Matm sold to Iraq, an Iraqi.

It is ironic also that most of the planes purchased from Iran, millions of dollars are in fact part of the Iraqi air force and Iraqi aircraft, which was entrusted in Iran and no longer limit the Secretariat of the moment.

We wonder; when cold calls Iraq civil and military aircraft secured, the Iranian side, and why not open this file , whether through bilateral or negotiate through the United Nations or through the US administration?
Does the Iranian presence in Iraq , influential, prevents it.
