US financial backing:
Some of the $5 billion in US and British agriculture credits were diverted to purchase military and dual-use supplies. Whatever the amount, it was a small portion of total financial support.
Iraq conventional weapons:
Iraq fought with Soviet weapons purchased in the preceding decade, with the exception of $200 million of US helicopters. These were the only direct U.S.-Iraqi military sales and were valued to be about 0.6% of Iraq's conventional weapons imports during the war.
