that is because the ERA was missing on the iraqi tanks. it was to expensive for saddam. instead he bought gold for himself and luxury.
without ERA all those poor iraqi soldier perished as the armor was penetrated from A10 thunderbold 30mm armor piercing rounds. With ERA those iraqi tanks had survived those attacks and killed more abrams tanks.
saddam sended his conscripts with blank training ammunition into the REAL WAR!!!!
hahaha
dumb westerners think they can kill superior russians. like arab wannabe powers.
hahahahahaha
