http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ ... q/army.htmDuring the late 1970s and the mid-1980s, the Iraqi armed forces underwent many changes in size, structure, arms supplies, hierarchy, deployment, and political character. Between 1980 and the summer of 1990 Saddam boosted the number of troops in the Iraqi military from 180,000 to 900,000, creating the fourth-largest army in the world. With mobilization, Iraq could have raised this to 2 million men under arms--fully 75% of all Iraqi men between ages 18 and 34. The number of tanks in the Iraqi military rose from 2,700 to 5,700 and artillery pieces went from 2,300 to 3,700.
Y creo que en numero de tanques tambien estaba por el estilo
Cantidad no significa calidad; T-72 modelos de exportación (completamente pelados), munición desfasada o de pésima calidad etc..
¿Podía movilizar una gran fuerza humana? vale, pero con que armamento y preparación.
En la WWII Francia también se jactaba de poseer el ejercito terrestre mas numeroso y "potente" del planeta ;)
