American tech was worse in all ways. The export models did not have the real armor. However American tanks still sucked.
In 2011 a tow missile was fired at a captured Iraqi tank at Aberdeen proving grounds. It failed.
America failed to kill any t72. Well it killed exactly one. Otherwise the war was America btfoing itself.
In the air, America lost an f15. It failed to kill any MiG 25s except one used as bait. It failed to kill MiG 29s at all and lied about kills.
It killed bombers and aircraft Iraq wasnt able to defend but 90% survived. Even though Iraqi equipment was 70s era and the f16 was upgraded recently.
At sea Iraq didn't have a navy and that wasn't significant but America did fail to make a naval landing in Kuwait and it didn't do anything effective at sea. Iraq laid mines and controlled the northern Gulf for months later.
Even after supposed air superiority America did not move ships anywhere near Iraq for fear of air attack.
