Against Iraq, Iran's human waves would (with heavy losses) defeat their opponent's mechanized forces, but then would lose momentum because of a lack of mobility, so I would imagine this new system of independent brigades could help them keep up their momentum during a future wave attack, if they decide to carry them out.
