Re: Iraqi MBT and APC losses 1991 and 2003
As far as I can tell it is currently in iraqi army service from the pre 2003 equipment.
1)One hundred of Type 69 and similar.
2)A few tens of T-72 (possibly).
3)Seventy or so MT-LB.
4)Thirty something EE-9.
5)Several battalions worth of artillery systems (D-30, Type 83,M46 GHN45, BM-21 etc.).
To this it must be added the equipment in kurdish service.
I doubt that there are sources on GW1/OIF losses that can be trusted. Iraqi paperwork might have been lost or be unreliable and after 2003 th circumtances were not conductive to beancounting.
At best you might get an estimate of what the coalition thought it had destroyed.
