Iran inherited eleven Iraqi Il-76 Candids, though all were originally grounded for a considerable period of time. These aircraft were operated by the IRIAF at Shiraz before the Iranian Republic Guard Command (IRGC) took over most of the aircraft.The IL-76 is a medium-range military transport aircraft, and is also known by the NATO codename 'Candid'. The missions of the aircraft are: to drop paratroopers; carry troop forces and combat materiel with crews and armaments, including medium-sized battle tanks; to airlift cargo for troop forces; and transport for disaster relief operations. The IL-76MD variant has an increased flight range and service life and carry up to 47 tons of cargo.
The Il-76 Adnan-1 AEW&C was an Iraqi development of an Il-76MD military transport aircraft based on the A-50 'Mainstay' with a Thompson-CSF (now Thales) Tiger-G radar which has a range of about 350km. Two were flown out to Iran during the Gulf war, one is in service with IRIAF today while the second aircraft is going through a upgrade programme.
