Not as big as I thought...
545,000 (100,000 in Kuwait)+
649 fighters
4,500 tanks (Chinese Type-59s, Type-69s, & self produced T-55 T-62, about 200 Soviet Union T-72M's Asad Babil)[5]
Still fairly sizable. It was their 500,000 against the world's one million.

Vietnam has 500,000. Syria has 300,000. Israel has under 200,000.
I would be more afraid of Israel.
