Then, just 50ft away, the roof of a family home burst into a ball of flames as a Katyusha rocket ploughed into it. A mother of three, her hands clutching her face, ran screaming into the debris-strewn street as flames licked through the shattered suburban home. How much warning time do the inhabitants get that a rocket is headed for their region?

How much warning time do the inhabitants get that a rocket is headed for their region?I know that air raid sirens are used when possible, but in this case the distances are so small that I don't think that there's time for warnings...that's why everyone is living in bunkers 24/7.

How much warning time do the inhabitants get that a rocket is headed for their region? In Iraq, we've always gotten exactly...none. You know when it hits and shakes the living daylights out of everything around you.

The only warning for the first rocket is the whine as it descends.
It takes less than a minute for a Katushka to crash somewhere within its "target" area.
