Thanks to a promotional video of the Iraqi Air Force, we
now know that the CASC Rainbow (Cai Hong, abbreviated
as CH) CH-4B UAVs are no longer operated by the 84th
Reconnaissance squadron but are now flying with the 100th
Reconnaissance squadron.

5024 204th Training sq, ex FMS 17-0024 dec16In January, the Iraqi Air Force (IQAF) received a second batch
of four Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) T-50IQ advanced
training aircraft. They arrived at Mohammed Alaa Air Base
(Baghdad Al-Muthanna) where the welcoming ceremony was
conducted. Iraqi Air Force Commander Lieutenant-Colonel
Anwar Hama Amin welcomed the aircraft in the inventory.
It is unclear if the new aircraft will be operated by the 204th
Training Squadron that is currently operating out of Basra/
Al Shaibah. It could well be that the newly delivered aircraft
will move to Balad Air Force Base, where the IqAF F-16 fleet
is also located.
Interesting note is that the aircraft are carrying their Foreign
Military Sales serial numbers on their data block (the picture
shows IQAF 5001 which has the FMS serial number “T-50IQ-
16-0001” on the data block. The aircraft are delivered under
FMS by US Naval Air Systems Command.
Iraqi signed the contract for the delivery of 24 KAI T-50IQ
Golden Eagles on December 12th, 2013. They were expected
to be delivered during early 2016 but due to contractual and
financial disagreements, the aircraft remained at the Sacheon
(Jinju - Sacheon / K-4) KAI site. When the remaining aircraft
will be delivered, is unclear.
