I just want to add my two cents.  A couple of weeks before the air war began,
I saw a television news piece on US Army desert warfare training in California.
The "aggressors" were outnumbered using Russian equipement, so theoretically
they should have lost.  They kicked butt.  The aggressors' advantage was in
their greater experience in desert combat.
