Everyone knows that WWII is the most bombastic display of weapons to ever exist, but what was the second most bombastic war ever, and what was the most bombastic post-1945 war?
Iran-Iraq war, the gloves were off and both sides were, at the start at least, peer powers. Chemical weapons were used in great amounts by the Iraqis. Pilots became aces. Helicopters dueled eachother. Massive tank battles were fought.
