#1 Note that we (Israel) have the same (smaller scale) scenario with Gaza 2 - 3 times a year.

#2 if this is true then Iran didn't have precision guidance on those missiles

that is hard to believe

unless the precision guidance devices were removed

if so they 'meant to kill' but they didn't 'really mean to kill'

#3 I read that the faster a GPS receiver moves, it is harder to get an accurate GPS reading. Makes sense that Iranian engineers haven't figured out the finer points of GPS for ballistic missiles, especially since they don't have access to military grade GPS receivers.

#4 I would have assumed Iran was smart enough to buy military grade GPS devices from one of the dark markets.

On the other hand maybe the USA had some 'just a bit defective but not so you can tell' devices on a CIA controlled supplier that offered the GPS devices at a discount. If so then the Obama cash might have been used by Iraq to buy defective military equipment from the USA. That would be a ROFLMAO situation.
