Hahaha, typical ignorant american. As discerning a worldview as a hammer who sees only nails, eh?
You can't even tell the difference between lebanon and their truck mounted, soviet manufactured katyusha rockets which are mobile artillery, and the homemade bottle rockets that palestinians build in their houses and shoot at israel.
About the same level of technical sophistication of what the chinese were shooting at each other 2000 years ago, compared to a god damned abrams tank.
But I bet you could tell me the difference between a McRoyale with Cheese and a Big Mac, hahaha.
Just so you know, because this is a complicated middle eastern affair of which you are woefully ignorant- the rockets used by lebanon and those used by palestinians are completely utterly different. One is a modern weapon, one is a toy rocket jury rigged.
Katyushas were developed to combat land war tactics on the soviet front to provide a highly mobile artillery that could unload and move away before the counter barrage came back. They are sophisticated truck mounted weapons.
Qassam rockets are a name for all improvised explosive devices that the palestinians shoot at israel, not actual manufactured weapons but homemade rockets.
They are not similar. You can't call a bottle rocket and a nuclear missile "the same thing". You can't call an AR-15 and a Sten "the same thing".
I've built model rockets as a kid better than what the palestinians shoot.
But Americans only see a black and white world, often quite literally. You're either a redblooded flag waving american who eats at mcdonalds 7 days a week, or you're some arab suicide bomber communist al qaeda member.
You should stick to discerning the different sandwiches the arches offer, because our military man doesn't know the difference between basic weapons.
Typical ignorant terrorist apologist, calling them bottle rockets and can't tell the difference between indiscriminate and targeted. Lol, equating a Soviet Katyusha with an Abrams.
It's Royale avec fromage, not McRoyale, because a "quarter pounder" isn't commonly understood in France where they use the metric system (I've been to France 6 times, FYI).
Don't even bother with history lessons because unlike most children like yourself who post here, I have an interest in history and actively dig into it.
Katyushas are only effective
en masse, which was why they were truck-mounted by the Soviets, because they completely lack a guidance system; HARDLY "sophisticated" weapons, and I see that the "band-aid" analogy went right over your sloped forehead. The only real advantage a Soviet Katyusha has over a Palestinian improvised one is the Soviet version has the benefit of mass-production machining to eliminate the common problems associated with building them in your basement like the Palestinians do.
I find it quite ironic that you're sitting there at your keyboard spewing stereotypes about me, knowing virtually nothing of my views, and have the unmitigated gall to describe
me as the one who "only sees black and white."
