The planes in this photo, Ilushin Il-28 "Beagle", are remnants of the Iraqi air force, ordered from Russia in 1977 and delivered in 1980.
What military search teams eventually found here at Al Taqqadum were some 30 to 40 planes, including several MiG-25 and Su-25 ground attack jets, buried beneath more than 10 feet of soil.
