Title: What rockets are being used vs Isreal
Post by: BlckMgk on July 16, 2006, 08:36:12 PM

They keep mentioning the hezbollah rockets and I keep wondering what rockets they are. Specifically what are their capabilities etc.

Was wondering how hard it would be to track the rocket positions etc.

I think a least the 2 longer range ones and the anti-ship one came from Iran.

Something I'm wondering about is the seeming lack of Israeli Fire Finder
type radar.  You'd think it would be relatively easy to backplot the areas
these unguided rockets are coming from to counter battery fire.

Or maybe they are using it and just not letting the press know?

If they have the technology.  I know it's used extensivly right now in Iraq to track mortor fire.  The problem is you can't send a salvo of 105s back to them if they are firing from a school yard.
