Counter-battery radar was deployed in Vietnam. It worked well then. I suspect it is a lot better now.

I read on another post that snipers are deployed against U.S. personnel in Baghdad. It sounds like a target rich environment for the time being. May it be good hunting for our people and may God watch over them.

If they did years ago, they can sure as hell do it now. They’re already fitting the equipment onto various armor and othe mobile platforms.

Definitely obey Iraqi legislature’s demand and leave. But keep a potent presence in the embassy for defensive purposes, i.e., copters with guided missile armaments and night vision, satellite targeting and recon support, etc., to take out these punks with their mortars and rockets. As for Iraq, they’ve had a couple decades of guidance and help. Time to cut the apron strings, and should things go sideways, support the side you like with toys and info, and sit back and munch popcorn.

As for Iran, free Khuzestan. Self-determination for the Ahwazi people. That’s the key to everything.

Contrary to a guided missile, rockets have a arc or trajectory if you prefer that term, and it is possible to use that arc and speed to compute its point of origination.

Problem is that the iranians *spit* have mobile launch platforms. The problem for the iranians *spit* is that these are easily trackable via satellite and who know what else we currently have flirting about in near space.

Hopefully, current events will encourage the Persians to rise up against the iranian *spit* mullahs and reclaim their civilization.

Saw this tidbit posted a ways down the Twitter thread. Looks like the PM is one of the Iraqis mixed up with that bunch.

On a FMTV (”B” kit armored) cab an chassis.
I had a hand in designing it.
President Trump’s retaliatory strikes will be
on major targets in Iran, where there will be
minimal collateral damage.
