Did they even use their SCUDs in the last round of war?
The SCUD is a terror weapon and virtually useless tactically.
Isn’t that what Sadaam used against Israel during the gulf war?
Saddam tried to hide stuff in order to keep in safe from the cruise missile and other targeting systems. Basically, when it gets turned on, it gets blown to hell.
We first put a bunch of AWACS in the area, and then fly some Wild Weasel missions to get them to turn on their targeting radars. Then we blow them to bits.
SCUD launch facilities suffer the same fate, usually picked out from satellite picture differences.
Saddam was happy when he found out his Super Troopers were going to engage us. The thrill lasted about fifteen minutes, the time it took for reports to start coming in.
The Iraqis didn’t fire SCUDs during 2003 but used early versions of the Al Samouds which they were allowed to have for self defence. It was the Al Samoud 2s that violated the treaty and were destroyed by UN inspectors. What the rebels are displaying here is a captured Syrian Scud. in 2013 they captured the Al Kibar facility that Israel bombed in 2007. Inside the buildings they found SCUD missiles.
