Cluster Warhead Ballistic Missile Targets Opposition-Held Town In Western Aleppo

Support SouthFront

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched on January 25 an OTR-21 Tochka tactical ballistic missile at the opposition-held part of the southwestern Aleppo countryside.

Local sources said that the missile landed near the town of Bawabiya. No civilian casualties were reported as a result of the missile strike.


The Soviet-made OTR-21 Tochka has a range between 70–185 km depending on the copy. The missile’s circular error probable (CEP) is smaller than 70 m.

According to the available information, the missile used in the strike was armed with a cluster warhead. Usually, this type is used to target militants’ gatherings and equipment.

The missile strike coincided with intense Syrian and Russian airstrikes and artillery strikes on militants’ positions and weapons in the western and southwestern Aleppo countryside as well as in the city’s vicinity.

Earlier today, the SAA Launched a large ground offensive in the outskirt of Aleppo city. However, no advance has been reported, so far.

Where are the very effective Russian Thermobaric launchers ?

Pave Way IV

They’re considered chemical weapons when used in Idlib. Not because of the warhead, but because of the smoking, barbecued head-choppers it leaves behind – it’s worse than Sarin. White Helmets will flee in horror at the smell instead of filming propaganda vids – that’s how bad it gets.

Lol

Assad must stay

Nice, i hope it killed many rats

After the last incident I’m surprised they used this, “The missile’s circular error probable (CEP) is smaller than 70 m.” And that’s with a cluster warhead, mmm, risky.
