That 4500-plus figure includes periods before mergers where the F-16 was initially designed and produced by General Dynamics.
Nearing delivery is good news for Lockheed Martin and Iraq.
I appreciate that this blog also covers events happening in Iraq. Many events that takes place in both Iran and Iraq are inter-linked and can have an impact on different levels for decision makers in respective country.
