Note that the numbers I posted refer to what is operational (or was the last year). That means basically what was in working conditions or could be made so with limited efforts and was felt to be useful. Large amounts of equipment that survived combat after 1991 were taken out of service due to lack of spares and such. A lot of equipment that survived the 2003 war was disposed of. No doubt the iraqi army was understrenght but the armored component was still non trivial.
