You won't hear me objecting.

But I would not include all of their commanders in the ridiculing. Crew training standard maybe be low, but so it was with the Iraqis as well - during the war '91 some of their commanders nevertheless did their best to set up a fight during the 4-day battle at Basra. These commanders suffered not from lacking competence, but inferior equipment, American commanders reported. I would expect comparing competence - at least determination - from special commandoes and infantry commanders of the Iranian RG guards, who are quite fanatical.

Still, in Syrian and Iranian tank forces I put no faith, especially when they get confronted in the open desert, by modern Western MBTs. Precision, range, sights, ammo and penetration power, armour, speed - they have everything against themselves.

Too bad for them all that there are export limitations on SBP-PE.
