| Primus Pilus | How can the iranians fly in any more rockets, there's no country that would give them the airspace to do so unless they smuggled it somehow. That alone would be a big task since they would need a tone of planes to resupply rockets in any meaningful way. You sure they didn't ship the rockets to syria who in turn handed it to hezbollah?

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Hezbollah is seriously well funded... For some insite into this have a look at the following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah I know it's wikipedia but it has some interesting stuff in there http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/742780.html This site is Israeli so yes one could say it is biased http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2006/0814/046.html They rake in so much do forbes talks about em http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/html/pdf/hezbollah-testimony-05252005.pdf long read So it wouldnt be hard to think that Hezbollah would be able to afford a few launchers and associated rockets...

| Forums Grumpy Old Man | Post; Mk1 Ass (or) Mule (or) Horse (or) Mk2 Soldier / Freedom Fighter...You are worrying about less than nothing. Very few of the missiles and rockets that were supplied to Hezbollah were of the kind that require the sophisticated launchers you are talking about. Of the better than 10,000 estimated aerial armaments, just a handful were thought to be the sophisticated missiles that require all sorts of external hookups for programming. It is impossible to carry that type of ordnance around via the kinds of transportation that is available after all of the main roads are bombed to rubble. The type of rockets that only require a tube for launching, can be transported by any old Mk1 Ass (or) Mule (or) Horse (or) even piggyback by a Mk2 Soldier / Freedom Fighter. The missiles that you are worrying about were probably fired already so as to dump the launchers that were easy to spot. |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Exactly what the chief said.... The rockets they where launching where of WWII era soviet technology Katyusha (Little Katie) rockets...They have a range of almost 13 miles... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha (this shows the truck mounted) But still they are one of the best funded terrorist groups in the world...
