MLRS "Katyusha" bombed the American airbase in Iraq

Iraqi insurgents bombed an American military airbase using Katyusha MLRS.

A few hours ago, pro-Iranian armed forces launched at least five rocket attacks on the US military air base in Ain al-Assad using the so-called. MLRS "Katyusha". As a result of the direct hit of at least two missiles, the infrastructure of the military airfield was damaged, the nature of which the US military did not comment.

According to representatives of the Popular Mobilization Forces (a coalition actively supported by Iran - approx. Ed.), The attacks were carried out using Katyusha rocket launchers, however, it is most likely not about the use of the Soviet MLRS, but specifically about the type of weapons used in particular, implies the use of barrelless rocket artillery systems.

The American side confirmed the information about the damage, but the nature of the damage to the infrastructure of the military airfield was not disclosed, which, obviously, could indicate serious material damage. Information about the victims and victims is also not specified by the American side, however, it should be noted that for the entire period of numerous attacks on American military bases in Iraq, this is the first confirmed case of successful missile attack on a US military facility using MLRS.
