Umm, Iraq had state of the art weapons from Russia, their newest planes and tanks but we went in and destroyed them.

1990 Was a peak period in Iraqi Defence when you might say they had some kind of Good technology in terms of Equipments and Numbers.
But By just acquiring smoe latest wepons dosen't mean they will remain latest .............you need to build on to that .
By the year 2000-2002 Most of their Aricrafts were Either Grownded or out of service...............Due to lack of Spares and Maintainence staff.
In 1990 they had around 16 Bombers, 390 Fighter/Attack By 2002 it ws redused to 6 Bombers 90 Fighter/Attack Aircrafts ............and they too had obsolete Weponary
