Iraqi Air Force shows off rebuilt Huey helicopters
Iraq's defence minister said on Saturday that Iraq's Air Force should have 50 to 60 helicopters by the end of the year, including 28 new Russian aircraft.

Sixteen of them are Hueys donated by Jordan. They are refitted with modern avionics and new engines in the United States at a cost of $3.5 million each, funded by Washington.

Five of these were delivered in February.
