Obviously appropriate taxpayer coin has been remitted to quickly remedy such issues. </p><p>Why move it at all? Leave it on the beach to explode and rot away giving the seagulls from the local tip a change of diet. Sandlice and blowies will cleanup what's left. Can't have that!

They hit their own ammo dump under the hospital with devastating but predictable results.</p><p>Was reading the only other day about their Qassam rocket range. Design is basic as hell. Made from dug up water pipes or similar, filled with fertiliser and a detonator, some more fert for fuel, capped (pointy at one end) and painted in Tehran green with appropriate slogans. Then fired in bulk on rails pointed generally toward their perceived oppressors, the Jews.</p><p>Seems that the only flight controls consist of some stubby wings. Interestingly, I noted that the missiles have zero on board guidance systems and also the the exhaust ports are small holes drilled in the base plate cap. No effort is made to rotate the rocket for in-flight directional stability as would be normal via port canting. So if a fuel blockage occurs in one of those drilled holes, the result is an errant rocket when ignited. Same result if the control surface wing detaches post-launch in-flight.</p><p>It's a numbers game - fire enough in the general direction, you'll hit something.
