Iron Eagle II (1988)

Iron Eagle II is the 1988 sequel to Iron Eagle with Sidney J. Furie returning as director. Louis Gossett Jr. returns as Gen. "Chappy" Sinclair, who leads a joint USAF-Soviet task force to take out a rogue Middle Eastern country's nuclear weapons lab. Like the first film, Iron Eagle II was made with the assistance of the Israeli army and air force, which provided real F-16s to the production.

The following weapons appear in the film Iron Eagle II:


Rifles

IMI Galil

Both Israeli military personnel and members of the joint U.S./Soviet task force can be seen armed with Galil rifles during the film.

AK-47

The enemy soldiers in the film can be seen armed primarily with both fixed stock AK-47 and folding-stock AKS-47 rifles, all of which have Israeli blank-firing adaptors.

AIMS

Georgi Koshkin (Uri Gavriel) can be seen using an AIMS rifle (A Romanian AKMS clone), distinguished from the other AK's in the film by the stamped receiver, vertical foregrip integrated into the handguard, and side-folding wire stock. His also has an orange bakelite plastic magazine and the standard slant compensator replaced with an Israeli blank-firing adaptor. While it may seem strange for a Soviet soldier to use a Romanian AK clone, the Iron Eagle series is somewhat notorious for inaccuracies in depictions of military hardware.

Submachine Guns

At one point in the film, Chappy gathers the members of the task force together and challenges them to use a pair of Mini Uzis to shoot each other, though neither side is willing to do more than fire a burst into the sand, at which point Chappy informs them of the alternate plan to use nuclear bombers to destroy the target, fallout from which would kill hundreds of innocent civilians living nearby.
