A search found the following list as reported in Flight magazine during 1991.

The Iraqi foreign minister, Ahmad Hussein, in claiming that 148 military and civil aircraft took refuge in Iran, has been prompted for the first time to detail the aircraft involved.

Of the 115 military aircraft Iraq claims were flown to Iran, 24 were Dassault Mirage F.1s, plus all 24 of the IAF's new Sukhoi Su-24 Fencers, 40 Su-22 Fitters, four Su-20 Fitters, seven Su-25 Frogfoots, four MiG-29 Fulcrums, seven MiG-23ML Floggers, four MiG-23BN Floggers and a two-seat MiG-23UB Flogger.

In addition, Hussein claims that 33 civil aircraft crossed the border and are also held by Iran. These include two Boeing 747s, a 707, a 727 and two 737s, 15 Ilyushin ll-76s, two Dassault Falcon 20s and three Falcon 50s, a Lockheed Jetstar and one Airbus A300 and five A310As. The six Airbuses are Kuwait Airways aircraft stolen by Iraq. Also stolen from Kuwait but not yet accounted for are two Boeing 767-200ERs, a 727-200 and a pair each of Gulfstream IIIs and BAe 125s.
