Iraq was primarily equipped with tanks, jets, artillery, missiles (Silkworm), and small arms purchased from Communist China. Red Chinese equipment was less expensive than the former Soviet equipment. Although France did supply Iraq with Mirage jets, these were simply added to the numbers of CHICOM (Chinese Communist) J6's (CHICOM versions of the Soviet MiG19). The AK-47 is the most widely produced assault rifle in the world, and Iraq is no different than any other nation that has them...they can get them anywhere...but primarily North Korea and Red China. Note: During Desert Storm Iraqi jets FLED into Iran. During Iraqi Freedom they chose NOT to fight.
