Without computerized FDC (Fire Direction Control) systems like those used by the US, the Iraqi artillery must rely on adjusting or walking-in their guns which usually takes about 3 rounds to verify elevation, azimuth and charge.

Besides, we have counter battery radar which detects rounds in the air and precisly calculates the coordinates of the guns that fired it. We have the ability to have rounds fired on the enemy gun before his first adjusting round hits the ground.

I understand all that. I attempted a sarcastic statement, maybe not very well.

They can use math, if they know how. I had a college algebra teacher that was a former Ukrainian artillery officer. He said he could put a shell on a single house 12 miles away in high wind. That was his answer to students who questioned the real-world applications of his subject matter :)

Yup. They shoot once then die. Awesome.
