The kind of Soviet military equipment Iraq had was very easy to get on the world market, especially at the beginning of the 1990ies after the collapse of the USSR.
Clearly Iraq's military buildup happened well before the collapse of the USSR, though.
What do you mean by "first Gulf War", btw ?
I meant the conflict that started with Iraq invading Kuwait.
