The IDF Spokesman said Sunday that operation “Full Exposure,” for intercepting Iranian arms ship Klos C, has ended. The containers aboard the ship, which was intercepted by IDF naval commandos off the coast of Sudan, have all been offloaded and their contents thoroughly examined.

Forces from the Navy, the Combat Engineering Corps and the Munitions Corps took part in offloading and inspecting the containers, following the ship's arrival in Eilat yesterday.

The list of weapons that the ship carried is as follows:

Forty M-302 rockets, with a range of 90 to 160 km.

181 mortar shells, 122 mm caliber.

About 400,000 bullets, 7.62 caliber.

Bullets of the 7.62 mm caliber are usually used in Kalashnikov-type assault rifles.

181 mortar shells, 122 mm caliber.

I think this is either
181 mortar shells, 120 mm caliber.
or
181 artillery rounds, 122 mm caliber.

I don’t think the Russians field a 122 mm mortar.

Do you think the IDF will ever use the confiscated M-302 rockets? They're piece of junks, all the seized weapons will be destroyed...
