Saddam once had the most powerful armies in the Arab world, 5th largest globally to be precise, with modern weapons armed and supplied by both the US and USSR. But then Iran-Iraq war came and exposed that his soldiers mostly dunno how to operate the technologies.

Nowadays most Middle East countries keep buying weapons from US & EU, but inside they are just paper tigers. We all know that People who aren't sure how to build robust economies if fight a protract war will ended up like the USSR (i.e. financial ruin)

that's why I asked if the greek still fly 
while most of the IDF pilot were screwed by Pakistani pilot in a borrowed aircraft!
