Hobby rocketry Iraqi style
The War Nerd has a recent story on the clever techniques Iraqi insurgents are using to lob explosives in the general direction of American soldiers. While the video (hit the story link email readers) is made about as poorly as it’s possible to make video it’s still eerily fascinating.
Particularly the way the rocketeers look like normal suburban dads arseing around on a Saturday afternoon. Even more terrifying is the odds that they’ll end up blowing up their countrymen rather than any of their enemy but they don’t appear to have any concern about it at all.
Video and article highly recommended but I suggest taking the war nerd with a grain of salt more generally. He’s very Russo-centric.
