Second Death of IrAF
For many of those directly involved, but also a number of interested observers, the largest surprise from the invasion of Iraq, in March and April 2003, was the complete absence of the Iraqi Air Force (IrAF). During the three weeks which the US and British forces needed to conquer Iraq and neutralize major military units, the IrAF flew not a single air sortie, while the air defences of the Iraqi Air Defence Force (IrADF) ? even if some of them fought hard ? were actually completely ineffective. This article reveals why and how could this happen.
