I have a friend who flew in Desert Storm, and he talked about how incompetent the Iraqis were. Like

- De facto language of aviation (i.e. manuals) is English, and the regime had just purged most of the English speakers before the thing started

- They had these advanced ground defense systems and...didn't use the targeting, they were just spraying in the air

I don't know how well the Iranians can use their tools but I bet they're better than that.
