One wonders how well they have re-equipped. Without a lot of air-support, heavy direct fire support is necessary in urban areas. Tanks work, but not ideal in tighter spots. I wonder if they have acquired more BMPs or if we sold them some MGSs.
Also, the Iraqi Air Force only exists on paper. The F-16s we sold them are not operational yet, and further delayed when Balad was overrun by ISIS. That is where the training of the IAF on that platform was taking place.
