Why didn’t Iraq win the Iran Iraq war? Is there a way Saddam could’ve did better during the gulf war? What will Iraq be like after Isis? Why is Iraq buying T-90s to be companion tanks to their m1 abrams? Why did the Iraqi army & Isis started using AR-15s?

>Why didn’t Iraq win the Iran Iraq war?

Sanctions and Iran got smart.

>Is there a way Saddam could’ve did better during the gulf war?

Not invade Kuwait

>What will Iraq be like after Isis?

Civil war or Iranian/Russian backed reconstruction

>Why is Iraq buying T-90s

They shrug off ToW's

>started using AR-15s

Both sides were so horribly incompetent that after years of war there was barely any territorial changes. It was the closest thing back then to a chimp knife fight.

They are buying T90s because they aren't getting more Abrams for free after they surrendered all of them to a handful of ISIS fighters at the opening stages of the war.

Yeah that makes sense. Why wouldn't they buy cheaper chinese tanks? Or some older ones like patton, if all they needed was some tanks in general?

T-90 is a pretty specific choice.

Because Russia gave them a great price as a way to make themselves a big player in the middle east like how they did in Syria.

>russia can afford to undercut american taxpayer subsidized weapons

>russia can afford to undercut reserve stocks of armored vehicles that cost nothing

Dude the sanctions have kept them in a permanent recession since 2008, they can't afford to buy their own vehicles.
