When the attacks began on Iraq by Coalition forces, the Iraqi airforce suffered the most, with nearly a hundred aircraft heading to Iran, then an enemy of Iraq. A recent discovery of 17 jets in Serbia has just occured by the Defense Ministry and it triggered this in my head:
What if when the attacks began, the aircraft did not defect to Iran, but instead Jordan or Syria? What would have been their post-war fate, and would they have been put to use by either goverment?
