Venezuela's military is considering the possibility of selling its fleet of U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets to another country, perhaps Iran, a Venezuelan military official said Tuesday.
Venezuela's military is considering the possibility of selling its fleet of U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets to another country, perhaps Iran, a Venezuelan military official said Tuesday.
In response to a U.S. ban on arms sales to President Hugo Chavez's government, Gen. Alberto Muller, a senior adviser to Chavez, told The Associated Press he had recommended to the defense minister that Venezuela consider selling the 21 jets to another country.
Muller said he thought it was worthwhile to consider "the feasibility of a negotiation with Iran for the sale of those planes."
Even before the United States announced the ban on arms sales Monday, Washington had stopped selling Venezuela sensitive upgrades for the F-16s.
Chavez previously has warned he could share the U.S. jets with Cuba if Washington does not supply parts for the planes.
He also has said he may look into buying fighter jets from Russia or China instead.

The History Channel: Tonight "Deepsea Detectives" will send video of
The Venezuelan Air Force LIVE from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
This is on the 30th anniversary of the sinking of F-16s in route to the
former Islamic Republic of Iran (now part of
the American Protectorate).

Fighter jets need parts. When those parts can't be placed, jets can't fly. Replacing the parts with copies may not be the answer due to lack of quality. Part failure means jet falls out of sky. What's leftover, we shoot down.

Jack I agree!!

razOr I was wondering how they are going to get the parts to make them able to fly if they have not flown in a long time they probably need maintenance. heh heh
Thanks razOr what you said is great.

Again, thanks to dumbass Jimmy Carter, Iran had F14s before the US Navy did. And the Phoenix missle. However, as razOr notes, these Third(turd) World shitholes don't have the ability to operate advanced equipment for long without advice and guidance.

The Iranians couldn't reverse-engineer a Q-Tip, much less parts for the American equipment they ALREADY have or F-16 components. They can't even refine gasoline or kerosene, but they claim to be building submarines.
They're probably copying my Kellog's Rice Krispies submarine, the one that raised and lowered itself with vinegar and baking soda before sinking for the last time.
