USSR becoming Iraq is a bit extreme.
To do that you would have to do some serious OOB modding: Replace tanks with stripped down export T-72, at the high end. Replace it's gun to simulate 1970's vintage 3BM-12 & 3BM-15 SABOT rounds (some of local, allegedly inferior quality, manufacture) and reduce crew quality by a good margin.
And that's not factoring in IFVs, artillery, ATGMs, aircraft, and the fact that the open engagements of the desert had about as much in common with your typical West German battlefield as Antarctica has with Daytona Beach.
I don't think removing TI from a few Hind models that had em by mistake will quite do it.
