Should be enough to worry the Iranians.

......Who seem to have their hands inside the Iraqi government quite well. I'd be more worried about them sharing the technology WITH the Iranians than anything else. But hey they just got an RQ-170 to look at for the next couple of years so the stuff inside an F-16 probably isn't that high tech compared to that UAV.

Just read on F-16.net that Oman is going to get 12 other units too.
Any news on the production block the Iraqi are going to get?
