Shocking details has emerged which must worry the American National Security. Today six 107mm rockets were fired from Kabul’s Laab-e Jaar towards Hamid Karzai international airport, and were luckily intercepted by US Army C-RAM air defence system. Or else the casualties on the coalition side could be have been the worst in decades.
This is a typical ISK covert launcher from a civilian vehicle and has been done successfully many times before.
Shrapnel can be seen here extremely likely it is Chinese made Type 63-2 HE Artillery Rockets were used.
Raises significant questions over Taliban ability to secure the IS supply routes into the capital, or whether IS has stocked materiel also for an attrition campaign. And also the Chinese help to these terrorists organization via Pakistan has to be questioned. While these back door weapon deals are not new, even the US led NATO forces do this all the times.
The Type 63 multiple rocket launcher is a towed, 12-tube, 107mm rocket launcher produced by the People’s Republic of China in the early 1960s and later exported and manufactured globally.
Although no longer serving with active infantry units, the Type 63 is still in People’s Liberation Army service with specialized formations such as mountain infantry units and special forces detachments. The Type 63 was widely used in the PLA until the late 1980s. It was adopted as the successor of the Type 50-5 of 102mm.
The use of Chinese weapon on the US troops which is on the run, sets the tone for future conflict. China definitely has sent a message loud and clear to the weak Joe Biden Admin.
