I have done much study of the Iran-Iraq War. Although the Iraqis were not green troops, they had extremely poor tactical leadership. They were completely inept at maneuver and combined arms combat. When you consider also the vast superiority in precision and range of Coalition weapons, the Iraqis really stood no chance. The Russian army, bad as it is, it capable of much better tactical performance. Their intelligence capability is also much superior to Iraq's.
