hmmm....if I recall correctly there were some MIG-25's burried in the sand which were sent to america (some of them at least)
As their air force consits only of helicopters I think it would be extremely useful for them to get them back into the air..

Erhm they also have C-130s, Cessna Caravans (armed with Hellfires no less), Cessna 172s (or in that family of planes) and a bunch of flying-egg like ultra-light-recce planes. I also believe they were getting T-6s?

I believe F-16s have been ordered as well.

No, no fighters are ordered yet. The F-16 acquisition was canceled due to the long lead time.

Please note the date above your "news". This is a proposal of 2 years ago, which never materialized.
