if you want to argue semantics and say “oh but beerJeep it’s more sophisticated than a rock!” Go right ahead

The word sophisticated does not belong anywhere near the word katyusha. It’s nothing but an attempt to make the uninformed jump out of their seats at the word “rocket platform”

It isn’t any more sophisticated than their rag tag technicals that they mounted the exact same style platforms on for over a decade now.

Dummy rockets attached to a truck that are stupid inaccurate and require mass amounts to be useful.... and useful in that they’re simply a terror platform Used to demoralize rather destroy.

Whoopty fricking doo.

POTUS blew that plan up.

CNN, NYT et al and the Democrats would try to turn it around on Trump as a weapon if Soleimani himself had killed 20 American toddlers with his bare hands. OMB and 'he must be stopped' first and foremost.

Not a doubt in my mind.

looks like someone baited him to attack the embassy. He probably thought he was going to deal with a few security forces and didn't anticipate ODA teams, Marine and Army Infantrymen barricading the whole place. He then tried to pop smoke and make a quit exit out of Iraq and was greeted with a precision hellfire missile. how embarrassing.

I did read the article.... The article doesn’t change the fact that a wwii era Russian dumb fire missile platform isn’t sophisticated.

I mean, I hate to break it to y’all that these goat frickers have had technicals with katyusha style rocket launchers mounted on the back of 1980s Toyota’s for years.....

The actual military katyushas aren’t any more sophisticated

It’s a Soviet wwii era platform. It’s bare bones. They’ve been making technicals after them for years. Despite being a rocket platform, they dont exactly require rocket science to make

Cool pictures. I guess maybe I should update my 1958 M38A1C
to fire them. The original 106MM ammunition for the M40 recoilless rifle is a bit difficult to obtain here in the U.S.

Your missing the point. The point is the mfer was trying to kill Americans armed forces. He killed a us contractor. If he could get a nuke and blow your stupid arse up he would! You defend him because your stupid as frick! You make a big deal out of a weapon. Who gives a flying freak if the weapons were old. He trying to kill as many Americans with what ever weapon he can get. The main point is his intent.

Not at all. I got the point. I’m just laughing at the fact someone called a katyusha platform sophisticated.

I know. And I’m perfectly okay with glassing over their sand dunes. I’m perfectly okay with killing every man, woman, and child, in Iran if need be. Dead sons don’t avenge dead fathers.

And, like I said from the beginning, the katyusha rocket platform isn’t sophisticated. It isn’t more sophisticated than what the goat frickers have been using. It’s old tech. It’s tech that’s been copied on technicals for decades. They were fighting the Russians in Afghanistan with katyusha style technicals.

It’s comical that people are touting them as Sophisticated.

You didn’t even finish quoting the fricking sentence.

And you conveniently ignored this.
quote:

Soleimani picked Kataib Hezbollah to lead the attacks on U.S. forces in the region because it had the capability to use drones to scout targets for Katyusha rocket attacks, one of the militia commanders told Reuters. Among the weapons that Soleimani's forces supplied to its Iraqi militia allies last fall was a drone Iran had developed that could elude radar systems, the militia commanders said.


You can drop out of the thread now.

Don’t need to. I’m not referencing that. I’m referencing the use of katyusha.

Not at all as it has zero to do with my point of the katyusha platform is ancient and isn’t sophisticated.

Awww your arse chapped? I promise I’m for harsher punishment than you. I believe in total war, nothing less.

How many media outlets used positive or neutral descriptive language to describe this stone cold killer?

The saddest part of this is a lot of people have not been on this earth long enough to know this propaganda happened back in the 80's.

Imagine our MSM/dems joy when they read this?

You know they are hoping...

We now also know Obama corrupted govt to the point of covering for the Benghazi stand down.

We are a wreck and it needs cleaned up from the pentagon Obama yes men hacks to the state dept.
