Read your post? I’m laughing at the inclusion of katyusha in a list it doesn’t belong. It’s simply the “official” version of a platform they’ve been using on the back of Toyota’s for decades. It isn’t sophisticated in any way. Sorry for busting your balls. It’ll be okay champ.

You’re “busting my balls” about a tangential point of the article. Glad you get to relive your operator days.
If you’d like to comment on the substance of the article, please do. If you’d like to play “smart military guy,” you’re welcome to do that as well. I will just ignore that guy.

It really isn’t. It’s a 70 year old RUSSIAN wwii era platform. Calling it sophisticated is laughable. There is nothing sophisticated about it.
You lack perception
When your previous weapons are sticks and stones and AKs, a rocket launcher on a truck is a huge step up.
Not sure why you picked this part of the article to go HAM on

Looks like they are shooting them out of a giant coke bottle in that top picture.

okay mr katyusha is a sophisticated platform
Perhaps both are correct depending on which of the many versions of the rocket system they refer to.
The latest avatar of the Katyusha is in the form of the 9A52-4 Tornado MLRS. This is a universal rocket launcher which combines the rockets of BM-21, BM-27 and BM-30 on a common, highly mobile 8×8 chassis. It makes use of automated laying, fire control, satellite navigation and positioning systems which allow it to lay down fire with greater accuracy compared to its predecessors. This launcher will be the future of Russian rocket artillery and will ensure that the Katyusha is relevant through this century.

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.
Exactly, if you are arguing whether or not the weapons are sophisticated, you have already agreed that Soleimaini was trying to kill Americans.
