I don't think the Iraqi's had many SA-6's.  Those are pretty dangerous systems
  (though not very maneuverable, they are fast, long range, have a large 
  warhead, and I believe they have optical or laser backup).

However, if the Iraqis did have any, they probably didn't last very long after
  the first use...
