Iraqi forces have shot down five planes and two helicopters of the US-led coalition forces since the war began on Thursday, an Iraqi military spokesman said Saturday.
The spokesman, Major General Hazim Rawi, told reporters that four of the five downed enemy planes were brought down in and around the Iraqi capital.
One helicopter was shot down in Muth, 280 kilometers south of Baghdad and the second helicopter was hit and fell to the ground in Mosul, 400 kilometers to the north of Baghdad.
