1. Thread #Iraq| Footage emerging (not verified) of the U.S Phalanx land-based Close in Weapon System (CIWS) called CRAM (counter-rocket, artillery and mortar systems) being triggered at Iranian incoming missiles.
2. Via @BabakTaghvaee, the 2 Iranian missiles used to attack Erbil and Al-Assad airbase were the ‘Fateh-313 (long range variant of Fateh-110) and Qiam-1’. U.S CRAM Close in Weapon System based at Erbil shot down 1 Iranian Qiam-1. ##Iraq
3. #Iraq| I was deployed to Baghdad International Airbase in 2006/7, and the CRAM Close in Weapons System would fire everyday at incoming mortars and rockets. As you can hear from this footage taken in Iraq in 2009, it’s a menacing sound. WATCH👇🏼

4. #Iraq| It is a Raytheon Built System. Converted from the Close in Weapon System used by the U.S Navy. More info here
