Some Iraqi Air Force airborne early warning (AEW)-capable aircraft did survive although the exact inventory is unclear. From an air-defence perspective, the most important airframes would be the MiG-25, Mirage F1 and Il-76MD ('Adnan') AEW aircraft, if any of these types are operational. The MiG-25 carries the I/J-Band Foxfire search and airborne intercept (AI) radar, while the Il-76MD has a modified French system built by the now Thales. The Mirage F1 has the Cyrano AI radar.
Four Adnan airframes are known to have been built. Three were designated Adnan-1, derived from the original Baghdad-1 airframe, of which one was lost during the 1990-91 Gulf War, but two possibly survive along with one Adnan-2.
The Adnan-1 has a modified E/F-Band Tiger (Tiger S), designated TRS-2100 by Thales while the Adnan-2 is reputed to have a modified Tiger G. This is a G-band radar designated TRS-2105. Both were originally developed as ground-based, low air cover systems and some have found their way into civil use. For example, a TRS-2100 is deployed in Doha International airport in Qatar. Although the TRS-21XX series would appear to be an unlikely candidate for an airborne solution, it should be noted that Iraq did have a production licence from Thales for the TRS-2105, when it was known as the SDA-G, so the country is not without pertinent expertise.
Some sources have suggested that the Tiger G may have radio-frequency agility. While this is not doubted, one implied RF range of 4,400MHz to 5,250MHz is considered most improbable because the International Telecommunications Union does not approve it for radar use. Additionally it would interfere with and might be interfered with by many approved system users in that band, and would stand out like a sore thumb to any broadband intercept system.
