@i.rq23: 4 Iraq operated the Soviet-designed Tupolev Tu-16 ("Badger") medium bomber from the 1960s to 1991, utilizing them for strategic bombing, anti-shipping strikes, and during conflicts with Iran and Israel. Initially receiving eight bombers before the 1967 Six-Day War, Iraq later acquired missile-capable variants and Chinese H-6D versions, with most being destroyed during the 1991 Gulf War • #IraqiAirForce • #IQAF • #Tupolev16 • #AviationHistory • #MilitaryHistory
