The reality of Russian spaa systems

In both countries, the planes used electronic warfare equipment not present ingame.

More like CAS is nerfed (Missing weapons, equipment, etc) and the soviet SPAAs under BRed

None of the systems operated by Iran and Venezuela is in-game at the moment except for the Buk, which in reality their innefectiveness happened due multiple reasons that wasn’t malfunction of the system itself, as @gfdsa_killer mentioned, Electronic Warfare being the main reason and overwhelming force as well can be considered.

But Venezuela was unable to maintain and operate the S-300 — one of the world’s most advanced antiaircraft systems — as well as the Buk defense systems, leaving its airspace vulnerable when the Pentagon launched Operation Absolute Resolve to capture Mr. Maduro, four current and former American officials said.

Beyond that, an analysis by The New York Times of photos, videos and satellite imagery found that some air defense components were still in storage, rather than operational, at the time of the attack. Taken together, the evidence suggests that, despite months of warnings, Venezuela was not ready for the American invasion.

In short, the Venezuelan military’s incompetence appears to have played a big role in the U.S. success. Venezuela’s much-touted antiaircraft systems were essentially not connected when U.S. forces entered the skies over Venezuela’s capital, and they may not have been working for years, former officials and analysts said.

“After years of corruption, poor logistics and sanctions, all those things would have certainly degraded the readiness of Venezuela’s air defense systems,” said Richard de la Torre, a former C.I.A. station chief in Venezuela who now runs Tower Strategy, a Washington-based lobbying firm.

And I personally believe that we’ll see how these same systems will work once Gaijin fully implements short range attack drones, improvement of anti-armor/vehicle ground-launched munitions and electronic warfare primarly.

Only if.

Also in Iran, the IDF already had the intel on iranian anti-air, they just needed to shoot some GPS cruise munitions and they were done. In Venezuela many of the BUK systems were off and some other didnt even deployed, and also had the intel on them.
