Militants confiscate seven Russian military planes
 
Iraqi Sunni Tribal Rebels insurgents have reportedly captured the Speicher Airbase north of Tikrit city in the Salahaddin Province of northern Iraq.
 
Abu Abed Al-Naimi, spokesman for the IS off-shoot knows as the Iraqi Sunni Tribal Rebels, told BasNews that their militants have captured the airbase and have seven Russian Sukhoi Su-35 military planes under their surveillance.
 
He also claimed that their group has captured hundreds of Iraqi soldiers and a number of Iranian fighters who were captured alongside the army.
 
After the Iraq war in 2003, the Speicher airbase was used by the US Army, named in honor of Michael Scott Speicher who was a United States Navy pilot shot down over Iraq during the Persian Gulf War in 1991.

These are the same SU-25, a month ago, which the Iraqi Government reportedly paid $500 million for.

Welcome to the unintended and residual problems with starting conflicts and/or sending armaments abroad in tense areas.

Russia sold them their old outdated junk. If you read other articles, the jets were delivered in pieces.

ISIS can have fun trying to assemble the parts, then arming, fueling and manning the craft.

It would be devastating, though, for them to have ground attack craft.

Why these idiots kept those fighter jets in Tikrit? They should have kept them in Baghdad or Basra.
