Because they are cheap and plentiful. Make no mistake and don't take it personally, American arms are heading in a much more effective and modern direction. In case you were reading Marx while the french, russians and germans were selling saddam new state of the art soviet era munitions they were NOT effective.

Nobody said that American weaponry is ineffective or inferior-the point is that you cannot class all Russian weaponry in the same category as obsolete or inferior.& I was not reading Marx,but did the Iraqis get SU-30s,Yakhont missiles,AA-12 Adders,Rafales????
