Thanks to @Guardian_Mario for this image |
This second video from Daraya, near Damascus, shows what may be some type of rocket. The fixed tail fins and tail ring would suggest it was not a tube launched rocket, such as those used by the BM-21 Grad, and I've yet to see any rockets or bombs used in the conflict with those square tail fins.
As I'm totally stumped (along with many other arms researchers I've spoken to) I'm asking if any of you recognise these devices. If you have an idea what these could be leave a comment below, or send me a Tweet or email at the usual places.
