Flyene som har ankommet er Su-25 Frogfoot og ikke MiG- 29 slik det har vært rapportert tidligere. Det er rimelig å anta at russerne vil fly disse.

Iraq's defence ministry released video footage of the disassembled jets arriving on Saturday night
Iraq says it has received the first batch of fighter jets it ordered from Russia to help it as it fights an offensive by Sunni rebels.
The defence ministry said five Sukhoi Su-25 attack aircraft would enter service in "three to four days".
The insurgents control large swathes of the north and west after a string of attacks over the past three weeks.
On Saturday, the government said it had retaken the northern city of Tikrit, but rebels dispute this.
