What’s the difference between rockets, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles? Why does the type matter?

Ballistic fly in a high arch and hit relatively big targets can carry ordinary warheads to chemical and nuclear weapons ,
Cruise fly slower ,lower and can be precision guided

I wonder..... The fact its 10s of missiles and not 100s is a proportional response. Maybe cool heads can still calm things.

There no doubt Trump going to strike , it war now.

I hope the US attack military/terrorist sites with their response and hit them hard.

Still think attacking the funeral would have taken the wind out of the Iranian scumbag leaders and given the moderates the chance to flourish.

Rockets are big dumb fireworks, ballistic missiles have navigation systems and can move very fast, cruise missiles are slower and generally fly low, and can be plotted out on journeys like gps.

US planes are flying out of their base, expect to hear of bombing raids in the next half hour to an hour. Iran anti-air defence will be busy.

The pentagon will not stop it's military crusade in the middle East until Iran is bombed back into the stone age, all at the behest of the Israelis and the Saudis. Because they have the biggest military. Don't underestimate the number of people employed by the military industrial complex.

Who's "they" ?

US uses one missile to kill terrorist = Worse than Hitler

Iran fires over 10 missiles at US base = proportional response

Eh okay

It’s safe to assume the base will have some form of missile defence, unlike the General’s car. Seems sensibly proportionate to me.

Reports of several airbases hit from Sky

You literally just want to see people die. What a scummy thing to wish for.

There goes my hopes of visiting the amazing gardens and trout rivers in Iran, it was my dream to tour Persia, fly fish the mountain streams, see their magnificent scenery and gardens.

Meeting locals in remote areas and learn Farsi...

Not many westerners will be welcome for at least 30 years I'd say

Cheerful Spring2

It out of hand now. Iran agencies are reporting now they have launched a second salvo of missiles at US bases.

They have a Bobby Sands Street in Tehran.
