To be fair SA-2 and SA-6 belong to the early 1970s so they stood no chance against top of the line USAF items in 1991 and so on.

Funny, cause the SA-6 shot down/damaged quite a few A/C in 1991...

It can't shoot down stealth's cause you're not really putting much thought into how it would be attacked by the US.

These were brought into picture once missiles were all shot out so 'fly as you will' environment existed.

Nope, not true. Tornados flew low altitude airbase cratering missions from day 1 of the war, and the A-10 was used quite extensively in a Wild Weasel role- directly attacking Iraqi SAM sites.
