Now I'm far from home
Spending time alone
It's time to set my demons free
Been put to the test
My mind laid to rest
I'm on a psycho holiday

How many fighter jets do we need to sell to make a profit?

The problem with it is this. Each F-16 will still have a cost to which you'd have to add the price-tag of the war in Iraq. So in order to make a trillion dollars, we can't sell $ 3b worth of F-16s as that is probably only a profit of a few tens of millions when all is said and done. And on top of that only a fraction of that is taxed.

Fighters are worthless unless integrated into a complete air-superiority package. Just ask the Serbs. Selling these things to Iraq is pointless from a military perspective, unless they are hoping that they might fight Iran again as, like, a favor to the US. In the long run they will just rot. I'm sure some private individuals made some money off of this though.

I am surprised that the US government even allowed this sale given the close relationship the new Iraqi government has with Tehran.
Some of these planes might end up in Iran for some close-up looks.
Yeah I doubt that the Iraqis got the latest in technology but still.
