Iraq's weapons of war were bought primarily from the Soviets...but also from the French and Germans. There were no munitions...no mortars...no artillery...no tanks...no armored vehicles...no fixed wing aircraft...no transport vehicles...etc. sold to Iraq by the US. The Iraq Army was also trained by the Soviets.
