Al asad is a huge base was there for 6 months most troop housing are not harden

had 3 120mm rockets with no targeting system land within 100 yards from our Tent. Very sobering.

These missile are a different animal targeting ability and payload ..

There are no indirect fire defense on these bases that I am aware of

a 2nd wave of missiles could create a bigger issue for those on the ground trying to help or seek cover

I won’t be surprised if there are hundreds killed by this. This makes me sick.
