Katyusha rockets, 81 year old design. Not the most accurate.

Katyusha rocket launchers, which were invented in Voronezh, Soviet Union in 1939, were mounted on many platforms during World War II, including on trucks, artillery tractors, tanks, and armoured trains, as well as on naval and riverine vessels as assault support weapons. Soviet engineers also mounted single Katyusha rockets on lengths of railway track to serve in urban combat.

Turns out they could...

They aimed for the embassy, and the barn is what they hit.

Don’t like seeing anyone die like this, so I’m not the least bit happy about the outcome.

Glad our folks are safe. That’s about the only positive thing to say.

Watch our Left trash Trump for this outcome, and not blame the folks who fired the rockets at all.

True.

But, these Katyusha rockets are not home brew or even Iranian manufactured. Likely, Iran obtained them from Russia and supplied them to units in Iraq. Some were surely used against ISIS, and now...
