"I believe that during the shelling they used missiles (for)" Katyusha "

According to him, the militants carried out an “targeted rocket attack on a military base in the north of Iraq near the Makhmur settlement” last Saturday.

According to CNN, “the fire support base in the north of Iraq began functioning a few days ago.” According to the TV people, “long-range artillery guns are placed on its territory, which are planned to be used to support the Iraqi troops in the fight against the IS”.

At the base is a "couple of hundreds of US marines." On Saturday, as a result of the shelling, one of them was killed and three were wounded.

It is reported that the terrorists fired at the base of at least 2-x missiles. US troops fired back artillery fire.

Back in 424 BC e. in the land battle of Delia by the ancient Greek warriors, a kind of incendiary mixture of crude oil, sulfur and oil was released from a hollow log. The terrorists of the "Islamic State" used the "Greek fire." Definitely!

Eugene, the missiles themselves didn’t detonate, they simply crushed the amers. There are few victims (the rest managed to run away ) Well, the same type of shell was determined.

They will later say (in response to Savchenko):
They captured a granny, of Russian appearance (born in 1941), during interrogation (video):

- Was it You who shot?
- I!
- Did you know that it is a us base (Did you know that this is an American base)?
- I, I!

Maybe an advertisement for our brand of half a century ago - "Katyusha". I haven't heard that for a long time.
They say fear has big eyes. But here, besides this, it also seems to me a setup.

[kotvov]

But here, besides this, it also seems to me a setup. ,,
it is quite possible. they will now begin an investigation and find that such shells are in service with the Kndr.

[siberalt]

There is a saying - God marks rogue. If we apply it to the described situation, then the "Katyusha" marks the Nazis The attempts of all liberal dishonesty to rewrite the history of World War II and World War II are doomed.

Yes it is most likely Vietnamese gifts affect. 9P132 "Grad-P" (P-portable). Moreover, a couple of missiles. And where can Katyusha rockets be found? Homemade can still be some.

And here she is!

[amirbek]

the terrorists have nothing to do with it .. these missiles hit the temporary tunnel back in the beginning of 45 ... as I remember right now ... two or three but why did they sniff out

[Gray 43]

How did they understand that from the "Katyusha"? On the rockets was the inscription: "Death to fascism"?)))) So at)))

Hurry up by the sound. Katyusha has a very characteristic and unpleasant (for the enemy) howl ...

[Hooks]

According to information received from their social networks, these were missiles of the Chebureshka2 complex.
Another talking helmet.

[pts-m]

As people say ... a subtle hint of thick circumstances ... well, they would have collected fragments from the places of the rocket rupture, maybe the year of manufacture will show up with the brand of the manufacturer, and only the language is waved and nothing more.

[iliitchitch]

Where is the Katyusha from? Well, after all, nonsense, from the category of flamethrower "Cheburashka", as one ukropsikh assured everyone. This is simply unprofessionalism, crowed, a rooster in every sense.

this is not Katyusha, this is Katyushok

[donavi49]

Well, they call Katyusha all that is not Grad, even if Gradin rockets are used.

Most likely they used raiding tactics with a pickup / jeep - they shot back and fled. Could shoot a package from Safira - 2 got to the base. Or pickup with light MLRS. Or perhaps a Chinese PHOTON with an open body and 4 Gradins of hidden transportation. It is doubtful that the Hell Cannon is for range.

[akims]

It is reported that the terrorists fired at least 2 missiles at the base.

[Velizariy]

... "It is reported that the terrorists fired at least 2 missiles at the base" ...
This is how it was necessary to be afraid, so as not to understand how many missiles were fired? 2 or 3)))) and if you cover them with a battery of hail?

[Ros 56]

And laughter and sin, which only does not appear with fear. And these wretched want to fight with us? Do not tell my slippers, otherwise they already started to burst with laughter.

[DMB_95]

Are PCs for BM-13 Katyusha still fighting ?! It’s a pity that they turned out to be at the hands of terrorists .. On the other hand, only two unguided RS forced to put in their pants a contingent of a military base with powerful modern artillery and two hundred US marines. Divisions worked for the Germans.

Yes, he has long been in our special forces, only pretended to be an American. And as in the state army they were allowed to serve blue, he immediately dumped.

The fact that on the remnants of the missiles were visible the inscriptions "To Berlin!" PSDas the first SMS.

[2s1122]

Well stupid Americans, 2 rockets the perfume did this thing very simply. Two guides, a jar of water and a float make contact plus power from the akamulyator and voila. Where they fired back, hell knows

[Lanista]

Let the Germans be asked, they are BM-13 experts. Rather, by how to fall under their fire.

[vanavatny]

well that's not a 40 pound gun nuclear weapon

[evil partisan]

It is reported that the terrorists fired at least 2 missiles at the base.

Not less than 2 ??
How was it calculated? And if less than 2? Then how much is it?

[afrikanez]

As the saying goes: "KATYUSHA is alive and wins!

[Cananecat]

I am never surprised at the "competence" of a command representative ... as I understand it, this is a national American trait of all officials, to say something for the sake of speaking. And the fact that the whole village will laugh at them in another part of the world, so they will not know about it.

[Erg]

"Return fire" is amusing. The Congress, probably, began to clamp down on grandmas. It is time for the "valiant American soldiers" to remind themselves. I think they organized the "attack" themselves. They are not the first time.

There are enough Kulibins in every country, and during the war talents are manifested.

[x.andvlad]

Most likely they consider any Soviet or Russian-made rockets for MLRS as "Katyusha". It is unlikely that these were the shells of the most legendary BM-13. Everything is much simpler.

9P132 Grad-P (Partizan) - Soviet portable rocket launcher. Designed at the request of the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. This installation was supplied only to friends of the USSR and irregular units, and to partisan units. It has low accuracy, but is capable of firing over long distances and causing significant damage, because the fire is fired by exactly the same ammunition as with conventional BM-21 Grad.

So the "spirits" probably have something similar.
