57mm diameter missiles are small but still deadly. Anti-tank and anti-personnel. Probably what the roaches have been firing at hotels and Humvees as well.
I wonder if these weren't recoilless rifle rounds .

Just Googling around, it seems to be a standard air-ground rocket size in the Soviet inventory. On helicopters (Hip, Hind) and fixed-wing ground-attack. I couldn't find a picture, but I imagine similar to our 2.75".

Great to get them off the street.
