Qual é o termo para token aircraft? Muito obrigado.

Sheikhattar emphasized the fact that the United States currently controls Iraq's airspace, which he said "upsets" Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. "The Iraqis should have a real Air Force," Sheikhattar declared. "Why are they prohibited from having more than token aircraft? They are not poor. They can purchase fighters and have their own aircraft for both internal and external security." Wouldn't this pose a security threat to Iran? I asked. Not if Iraq has a sovereign, democratic government, he said, "because there is an absolute majority [there] in favor of Iran."

Eu acho que é "avião simbólico", mas para garantir....

aeronave simbólica


Explanation:
Eu não mudava a tradução na especulativa do sentido; pois quando leio a frase em cima fala num só 'token aircraft' não em token aircrafts, e depois logo a seguir fala que eles tem dinheiro suficiente para comprar Aviões militares de caça e uma aeronave para a segurança intereiro e uma para a segurança exterior.

infopédia: aeronave
nome femininoqualquer aparelho com capacidade para se sustentar e se conduzir no ar, destinado a transportar pessoas e/ou carga
