The Czech Republic has said it intends to send up to 35 instructors to Iraq in June to train pilots on the L-159 military jets recently bought from Prague.
The mission would begin on 1st June at Iraq’s Balad Air Base and last until 2018, at a cost of 265 million koruna (€10 million, $11 million), according to a report from AFP.
The plan still needs to be approved by the Czech parliament.
