Iran was supported by the former Soviet Union with war material; Iraq was supported by the US, during the Iran-Iraq War from 1980 to 1988. Most of the armor (tanks) used by both combatants were Communist Chinese Type 59's which are Chinese versions of the Soviet T54/55 medium tanks. Type 59's were less expensive, and more available for purchase. Aircraft were combinations of Soviet and French fixed wing aircraft.
