It should be clarified that the attack was carried out from a residential area - a small launcher that made 10 volleys was transported by a motorcycle - it was later discovered, however, this fact suggests that in this way almost any US military object in this country can be attacked, especially given the fact that the US does not have effective air defense systems that can repel such attacks.
