Interesting Analysis of the Rockets Used in Syria [View all] MineralMan Sep 2013 OP

Additional Information MineralMan Sep 2013 #1

Here's the Falaq-2 rocket. Nothing like the crude gas rockets in Syria. leveymg Sep 2013 #26

It's the launcher that is the question. MineralMan Sep 2013 #28

There's a serious question about the range and accuracy of the rockets. The launcher is just a tube, leveymg Sep 2013 #39

The rebels have IRAMs. joshcryer Sep 2013 #40

Video of a Falaq-2 launcher with missile MineralMan Sep 2013 #2

Sorry. Dupe. MineralMan Sep 2013 #3

If this is the type of rocket used in the CW attack, MineralMan Sep 2013 #4

How do you know that? HooptieWagon Sep 2013 #5

I KNOW nothing. I'm surmising something. MineralMan Sep 2013 #6

Well, then I surmise... HooptieWagon Sep 2013 #9

Any photos of spent munitions from the scene that MineralMan Sep 2013 #10

YOUR photos "match his post" tkmorris Sep 2013 #20

Just noodling around the internet, it seems as though these systems can be copied riderinthestorm Sep 2013 #14

From the reports so far, there were multiple rockets fired. MineralMan Sep 2013 #15

Or the Saudis have their own version too. We simply don't know enough yet nt riderinthestorm Sep 2013 #17

That's possible, too, of course. MineralMan Sep 2013 #19

$3 billion from Qatar and the Saudis competing for influence can buy a lot. dkf Sep 2013 #29

I suppose. This kind of weaponry, though, is pretty MineralMan Sep 2013 #34

I meant to reply to this post, see post #40. joshcryer Sep 2013 #41

Excellent OP. I suspect the UN report will bolster the msanthrope Sep 2013 #7

Thank you. Ever since yesterday, I've been trying to MineralMan Sep 2013 #8

Protestors dancing around with one of those deadly SARIN filled rockets Jesus Malverde Sep 2013 #11

Yes. That is a used rocket, though. MineralMan Sep 2013 #12

interesting. Wish there was no cause to learn about such things. KittyWampus Sep 2013 #13

I agree. I'd rather not be looking this sort of thing up. MineralMan Sep 2013 #16

An update of that post has video of a group salvaging explosives... JHB Sep 2013 #18

Thanks for posting that. MineralMan Sep 2013 #21

In your travels, if you come across something about their range, please let us know. leveymg Sep 2013 #24

The range of the Falaq-2 is approximately 10 km. MineralMan Sep 2013 #25

Please see my comment and photo, above. The things in Syria aren't Falaq-2 rockets. leveymg Sep 2013 #27

Why aren't we seeing this sort of documentation from the administration? dkf Sep 2013 #30

I can't answer that question. I'm not part of any government organization. MineralMan Sep 2013 #31

The administration doesn't want us to know their source. joshcryer Sep 2013 #42

Seriously why hide what we collect? How does that expose anything? dkf Sep 2013 #43

Did you read my post? joshcryer Sep 2013 #44

So exactly what are they testing? Nothing? Do we really have NOTHING in our hands?!?!? dkf Sep 2013 #45

Sure. They got samples. joshcryer Sep 2013 #46

You'd think we'd at least have remnants that we could conclusively assert came from Assad's stocks. dkf Sep 2013 #47

Sure. joshcryer Sep 2013 #48

Very interesting. Hopefully this will help put to be the "it was the rebels" nonsense. Barack_America Sep 2013 #32

I have no idea. I was really just looking for a system that MineralMan Sep 2013 #33
