Another client on Rafal this year?

Negotiations on this issue are to be held for 3 years. This is simply a single squadron composed of 14 modern F4 aircraft: 10 single-seat and 4 two-seat. Iraq was to be curious in Rafale almost from the beginning of his programme, and thus inactive in the days of Saddam Hussein's rule. In the 1980s, Iraq had a large fleet of French Mirage F1EQ fighters, using, among another things, Exocet antiship missiles as well as Super 530D air-to-air missiles, utilizing which in 1988, at the end of the Iraqi-Iran War, the Iranian F-14 Tomcat was shot down.
