In 2003, Buried MiG-25 And Other Planes Found In Iraq.

On August 5th, 2003, the US announced that it had found something in the Iraqi desert. Unlike in 1991, not a single Iraqi Air Force jet took to the air. But where did the Iraqi Air Force planes go? Well, 39 miles west of Baghdad, the US Army established a camp at the Al-Taqaddum airbase. However, they had no idea what was buried at the site. A never-before-seen variant of the Russian-built MiG-25 Foxbat, along with 29 more planes, was found buried under the sand. So, but why did they bury them? The Iraqi leadership wanted to save the jets from the US airstrikes, so this is what they buried them. They hoped to retrieve them once the conflict was over, but this didn't happen.
