What do you of this KSA airforce, I think Iran has better pilots than KSA but KSA has better planes.... what do you think?

As far as they are able to purchase weapons they have better fighter jets while Iranian air force old fleet needs to be modernized asap if it be possible ...

All of this was over a period of time. In the same period, Iran got reinforcements too, including weapons and support from Israel to continue its fight against Iraq.

I am not a keyboard warrior who will write whole articles over here, but the fact remains that Iran received support from as many external actors as Iraq, and it accepted quite a bit of equipment during the Iran-Iraq war. If you are unaware of the Iran-contra affair, you can read the following article;

Kindly also read the following article which confirms Iran's collusion with Israel during the Iran-Iraq war, which means it collaborated with Israel when Iraq under Saddam never did;

we indeed receive weapons from other countries not as many as Iraq for example China , DKRP , Syria, Libya but Saddam was buying 7 billion $ worth of weapons annually during the war ....

Could you please compare amount and type of equipment/ Money/manpower/ intelligence/ political support received to Iran and Iraq? I think it would make more clear .

7 Billion $ worth of weapons? Annually? In the 1980s?

Do you really believe that figure?

As I said earlier, Wikipedia is not the most reliable source, and in any case, there are many powerful forces which have a vested interest in discrediting Saddam Hussein. Iraq neither had the capacity to absorb such a huge number of weapons (1000 fighter bomber fleet??), nor is there clear cut evidence, besides unreliable estimates, which support such ludicrous claims.

Wikipedia is not the source, only somewhere that has put up SIPRI's data. If you want you can go directly to the SIPRI website and generate the data.

SIPRI is a highly reputable source on arms transfers all around the world.

They have also placed a wide ranging disclaimer on their data which says that it is an estimate only and doesn't even confirm delivery.

Where would you like the data to be from then? SIPRI is the best source around.
