I don't know their Navy looks pretty lethal.

Iraq has some solid aircraft (MiG-29, MiG-25, ect.). I'm wondering if when we surround and begin pounding Baghdad if the Iraqi Air Force will try some sort of suicidal attack against coaltion air forces...

Its not the 200 aircraft they are reported to have that scares me. Its the 600 helicopters that makes me concerned.
The only warplane they own that stands a chance on its own is the MiG-25, which they probably cannot fly due to lack of parts.

The Mig 25 is a bucket of bolts and turns like a land yacht. Mig 29's on teh other hand (especially the later models M I think) can be lethal to our F-15/F16s given the same pilot skill......but only in close quarter combat. Technology wise (avionics systems).....I doubt that theere'd even be a change of a dogfight....
They might try to fly, but any pilot there knows it's suicide to go up.....which, could be their most fearsome asset if they chose to look at it that way. But I doubt a Mig could get any chance of posing a threat....even if they take to Kamikazee style assaults. They'd be blown up before they even got close to coalition forces.

I think the bumper to bumper warranty has expired on most of thier fleet.
