This is the comprehensive list. You said it like Soviet Union were not training Iraqi back in the 90s too.First of all this military aid is not even 10% west has given Ukraine, plus add mercenaries, volunteers, training camps in border countries.
Secondly even if we compare your figures of military aid, still aid to Ukraine is much bigger.
If Iraq had 5000 Soviet latest manpads and 10000+ atgm's that can destroy Abrams imagine what would have happened.
The real damage Russia is taking and has taken is from manpads and ATGM's all other weapons don't matter much.
And no way FIM-92 or Starstreak are "Latest" MANPADs. And Javelin and Pzk 3 was 80s technology. They had been supplying those to the First Afghanistan War (The one Afghan fought the Soviet Union).
And no, Ukrainian aid was not bigger than Soviet Arms in Iraq, again, look at the number and what had sent......
