Remarks
  • Reliable sources to update this OrBat are hardly available, therefore some
        information might be missing, incomplete or outdated.
  • The Mirage 50s will soon be withdrawn from use.
  • Ten Il-76s will probably be purchased to replace the Hercules.
  • Two Il-78 tankers will probably replace the Boeing 707.
