The faster you drive, the harder it is to shoot you I suppose. Our infantry kit is generally inferior to yours!

Yup. They're trying to get out of range. ;D

True, but IED's are the major threat here. You have a better chance of surviving if you're driving slower when hit by an IED

1+2: MiG-29. Already outdated when they got them
3: Su-25 Frogfoot
4: British Gulf An-12, usually flies from Dubai
5: Generic OMSJ based Il-76

I wonder what countries are using An-12 and IL-76 aircraft here in Iraq...

What do you mean with 'countries'... where the reg is from, where the pilots are from or where the company is based...

Reg: all over central and west africa. changes every 4 weeks as does the name on the side (thats why mosf of the planes are white...).
Pilots: usually FSU airforce
Company base: CIS, West Africa, UAE.

Glad you aren't a fighter pilot Andrew!   Or manning an AA battery!  Did they not teach you aircraft recognition?

At the moment enything that files is a friendly... and they will kick out the russian stuff as soon as things get problematic to prevent just that.
Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and [url=http://an24.uw.hu/]An-24RV[/ur
