More sources? Redundancy? edit
It seems odd to me that this article uses information from mainly two sources. Considering the topic at hand one would think more sources would be used. The article is written too much like a summary of those works as well.
More over, I think this article should be merged into the other article "The Soviet Union and the Iran-Iraq War". There's not enough different here to warrant its own page. --68.95.136.38 (talk) 09:26, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
- (a)Actually, this article uses three different sources, which is three more than most Wikipedia articles. If that's not enough, you can pull your finger out and find some other books and then improve this page yourself. (b) Wikipedia is a summary of reliable sources, it's not original research. (c) "I think this article should be merged into the other article 'The Soviet Union and the Iran-Iraq War'" - this makes no sense, it should be merged into itself? --Folantin (talk) 09:56, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Scuds are SAMs? edit
No they're not. The article seems riddled with flaws. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.137.219.109 (talk) 14:37, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
Merge edit
An article which is named Soviet support for Iran during the Iran–Iraq war and begins with "The Soviet Union did not provide extensive support to Iran during the Iran–Iraq War" is pretty much redundant; that article is hence practically a nonsense at best and perhaps originally a FRINGE theory, later smoothed by sources. Soviet support for Iraq during the Iran–Iraq war is so poor, i wouldn't warrant it as an article. Anyway both should not be a separate article, thus i propose both to be merged into The Soviet Union and the Iran–Iraq War.Greyshark09 (talk) 18:01, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
