Other report yesterday that they were the Scud D model - NOT “useless” (and presumably provided to Syria by Iran)

[GonzoGOP]

The one virtue of the Scud-D is that it is so primitive that it is virtually GI proof. They are going to fire up unless you blow a hole in one.

These may have been older model Scuds, but they have enough range to hit Israel's major population centers. These are not little home made rockets that you can ignore. These are guided ballistic missiles that can put a ton of TNT or chemical weapons anyplace within 300km of the target. And unlike Saddam's Scud-B missiles that scatted over a couple of kilometers the Scud-d is supposed to be accurate to within 50 meters. Not a JDAM but with a ton of TNT that is accurate enough for Hamas.

The missiles themselves are useless with out trained technicians to launch them

Te question is does Hezbollah have such trained technicians or were they flown into Beirut from Tehran via Paris?
