You have Chinese manufactured weapons maintained in a harsh environment by Iranian troops. When push comes to shove, the Silkworms will fail in massive numbers.

China is mostly also a harsh environment. In the African conflicts the same was said. Yet MPLA in Angola for instance became increasingly potent with advanced Russian gear, and gave the South Africans (who had a very good army then) a tough time.

However, I know nothing about Arab armies.
