Queste le parole dell’ ex- consulente dell’ esercito americano in Iraq, Brennan:

The capability of Iraqi helicopter pilots is considered good for the region; however, their ability to conduct night operations is extremely limited. As discussed in the 2013 RAND study, “Ending the U.S. War in Iraq,” the Army Air Corps has demonstrated an ability to conduct air movement of ground forces and casualty evacuation, but has very limited capability to provide air-to-ground attack aviation support. As for the air force, it has the capability to conduct troop movements and provide limited intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). As of August 2014, only two of the 18 Iraqi pilots that are being trained at a U.S. Air Force base near Tucson, Arizona, had progressed far enough to be certified as a lead pilot. It is most likely that the Su-25s recently provided to the Iraqi air force by Russia and Iran are being piloted by Iranians. Because of limited training, the Iraqi air force has virtually no capability to provide air-to-ground tactical support of troops in contact.
