#1 No counter fire was conducted.

Follows then that like Anaconda and other locations, more incoming can be expected from the hood.

#2 Those mutts are firm believers that if it works once, do it again in exactly the same way.

#3 RPV and something carrying a guided HE munition should be on station. That problem was solved a long time ago for CB fire, just need to tie in new precision weapons. Ballistics are ballistics. Mr Newton's equations haven't changed at all, so any shell, especially one as slow as a mortar, can be traced back to its firing point pretty quickly.

#4 Counter-battery via TPQ-36 is well established.

The problems with counterbattery are political, not technical. I suspect that the ROE will change after hajji gets lucky and nails the JAG office.

We should be so lucky...
