Rockets are hitting inside of the Green Zone now.
Counter-battery radar has existed since the late Vietnam war.
“IF” that is correct, can the US do so?
The tech has progressed to the point where mortar launch points can be located.
There was a video made by Iraqi insurgents years ago, that shows a crewman loading and firing a mortar while saying "Allahu Akbar" with each shot. In the distance a muffled shot can be heard and seconds later the jihadi and his mortar are blasted to smithereens.
“but it sounds like US citizens may be casualties”
Where are you hearing this?
I doubt it.
This is where you need other observational capabilities and ability to strike very fast.
(Cloud punch-through lasers are already available, but I don’t know if any have been deployed.)
Yes they do. It works off of acoustics. It can pin point a mortar pit location on first round and blow it.
USA will respond at our time, place, and choosing not theirs. Sucks to be an Iranian leader with a Wiley Coyote mindset.
Media (and the SWAMP) are so f**ked they don’t know which way to SPIN things except it must have been Trump’s fault for defending the roadrunner.
MEEP MEEP! Meet the new Sheriff. Now, ain’t that deployable?
OFFICIAL Iraqi channels say the total rockets are 5, not 3. Several dead. Unidentified.
Yes.
It is time to take the Nuke Facilities out in The Islamic Dictatiorship of Iran and render the Mental Mullahs mute and impotent.
Thanks
What is now the US Army Research Lab, got its start a *long* time ago (before Viet Nam) as the Ballistic Research Lab. They had one of the first electronic computers, specifically to calculate artillery trajectories.
(I'm surprised Faecesbook or someone doesn't have it as an app by now.)
US citizens are all inside the embassy grounds.
No rockets have landed inside the grounds.
Here is a possible video showing the attack

We have counter artillery and and can easily track incoming and immediately send out massive hell. The problem is that the scum will launch from neighborhoods and by the time chain of command and lawyers decide a response is “legal”,they are gone.*****
So the democrats plan to protect terrorist attacks is working it would seem.
Looks like 2 of 3 rockets were stopped.
“I smell 52 rockets warming up.”
There are 52 targets
We’ve launched a few hundred in a day before.
