more on missiles

the article focuses on the larger missiles, which were the acknowledged target in the early IDF stmts, as they claimed to be trying to neutralize points of attack on israeli population ctrs.

the rockets that are aimed toward israel([search]) are one thing. then there are the shoulder-fired missiles, which can take out ground & air vehicles and have a range up to around 5,500 meters. i've read where some poli's have expressed concern that iranian-made versions of the SA-7 and QW-1, or chinese MANPADS have made their way to hez, though i haven't come across any confirmation nor dug deep enough to find out. also, seeing as how the u.s. is the world's largest weapons dealer & given the incredible scope & scale of the black market economy, it wouldn't be surprising for some of their arms to show up by whatever route, as well. and russian weapons, etc.

i would assume that shoulder-fired missiles are discharged from w/i such structures, though i am basing this on superficial investigation & no specific knowledge base in this area. the HN-5 is shown mounted indoors here www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/hn-5_1.jpg
