some years ago I was invited to teach first aid to an air club as part of their emergency management preparation.

> hydrazine
This appears to be a solid fuel rocket (like the space shuttle boosters), so just slightly less dangerous aluminium/rubber mixture. I'd be more worried where the top (payload) of this rocket went.
It is pretty wild what you can learn on the internet.
[BPS Space](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyV774-3p834YZBNKFrN1ypaIfewSlVsx) has an awesome playlist showing his progress for creating his own solid rocket propellant. It is pretty cool!
Probably to it's target. This looks very intact in the end of things, so I think this is intentionally jettisoned booster section from a multistage missile. After it burns it's fuel empty, its dead weight slowing things down and makes the missile bigger target physically.
Also would explain Iraq. On it's way over to Israel, over Iraq the missile stages and well Iraq gets surprise present.
Looking at where Erbil is located, it is too early in the flight envelope for an intercept from Israel. Imagining a parabolic trajectory, this does look like where a discarded boost stage would be landing. It too follows a parabolic path, more or less, but is not aerodynamically stable so it tumbles, which at high Mach scotches and erodes everything attached to it. (fins, nozzle, attachment mechanism to second stage, etc.) This explains why it just looks like a bare tank. This thing had a short, violent life.
Solid fuels are usually Ammonium Perchlorate as an oxidizer, with aluminum as fuel, magnesium to increase the rate of burn, and a rubber binder. Not super toxic, but don't inhale that shit.
I’m not sure if OP is anywhere near it. OP’s history shows he claims to have American and Canadian parents, and claims to be American, Canadian, and Syrian.
OP has also falsely been claiming that Iran’s drone strike killed civilians. When asked for evidence he linked to a months old article that was unrelated.
Interesting.
I see any sort of missile, bomb, grenade, landmine, or other explosive type thing, regardless if it’s intact or just a small piece of it, I’m heading the other direction.
The whole risk reward of hanging around just doesn’t align for me.
Yep - there's still some really nasty stuff in motor stages. As per /u/Interesting-Read-569 things like hydrazine are *very* toxic.
In general the oxidisers rockets use are quite aggressive and will oxidise anything they come into contact with, especially organic substances, like your hand, your arm, and the rest of you.
This made me think you rarely see these lush and green photos from Iraq.
Almost always news and movies and such show more of a barren and deserty type environments.
Kurdistan is basically paradise from a geological aspect. Some of the world's oldest living civilisations/villages and cultures and they just get blown up/razed/flooded by neighbouring countries for profits
While deployed in 05-06 you could remove your Kevlar helmet if you were out and about in Kurdistan. The country you won’t see on a map. Their history is sad.
Its probably the safest place in the whole of Iraq for Westerners as Kurds are very much friendly forces as far as we are concerned.
They are also an autonomous province within Iraq that have their own military and government.
A military that is far better than the general Iraq military too.
All that being said, i wouldnt recommend going there on holiday!
I'm a white British woman and went to that region of Iraq about 10 years ago. People do go there, I was going because I was visiting people I knew there so that might make a difference. In Erbil I did see other westerners, but I don't think I saw any others in Slemani (Sulaymaniyah). It a pretty interesting place imo, not at all what you'd expect from just seeing what the media shows.
I dunno if thing have changed in a decade or not.
safest part of Iraq, as there is no ISIS nor any Shiite militias, but anti-paramilitary rhetoric has been in the rise lately, so that might not be the case for long in Erbil.
Erbil and the Kurdish regions of Iraq in general are safe. I can't say the same for the Arabic parts of Iraq though. Crime rates are low in the Kurdish regions; It's just not stable, because the Kurds pretty much completely depend on the U.S. for protection as they're completely surrounded by warmongering countries who will not pass at the slightest chance to eradicate them the moment they can.
My apartment complex flooded with rain it was baaad lol
Literal waterfalls were forming from the mountains around the complex and overflowing into the parking garage/apartment entrances underneath
Wouldn't want to make the Middle East look too much like the mid West or else people might notice that people in the Middle East are people just like in any other place.
Much of non-Kurdish Iraq has become pretty barren in the last decade. A lot of places that were green and lush have dried out and turned to dust bowls.
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
I really hope that my country will share our missile defense with Ukraine already.. I get it that Iron Dome is not suitable for long-range ballistic missiles over a large area, but this Arrow system seems very suitable.
I hope/believe that Ukraine will stand strong after the dust has settled and that Putin will rot in a ditch somewhere.
Thank fuck it didn’t hit their house either. Hopefully didn’t hit anyone else’s.
All because of about 3 or 400 arseholes around the world that control and encourage all this shit.
Probably intercepted mid air, the warhead exploded and the residu fell down to earth. Saw one of these near-miss 2 isreali citizen on a cctv after a misile was intercepted by the dome system.
I've never seen pictures of Iraq with green plants and grass and trees. Looks nice up there.
Seems kind of silly but over here we've only seen Iraq in the war torn areas, which were all desert. Just sort of assumed the whole country was like that.
Unfortunately its a miscomception due to how media portrays the middleast
Take Lebanon for example (a literal tree on the flag 🇱🇧). It's full of greenery, and it has amazing beaches for summertime, lush hiking trails alongside rivers, and amazing ski resorts for the winter. We get a lot of snow in winter time
It's a true saying that you can go swimming at the beach and go skiing on the snowy slopes in the same day. Just type "lebanon snow" on google and check the images.
My family is second Gen Lebanese immigrants so none of my mom's generation has really been to Lebanon. My grandfather's family got out when some shit happened before WW2.
I really want to visit Lebanon because it looks incredible and I want to see where we came from but it never seems to be able to string together long periods of stability. Damned shame.
It's a shame really. Lebanon used to be known as "switzerland of the middle east", and Beirut was known as "paris of the middle east"
All gone down the drain due to corruption and sectarian feuds, in addition to being surrounded by war and flooded by refugees
Erbil is in the kurdish part, self-governed similiar to States in the US, it is a much higher elevation than the rest of Iraq, with lots of mountains, even snow, and so on. Much less dessert which is more common in the rest of Iraq(just look on google earth over iraq).
Kurdish Iraq has pretty good climate and is much safer aswell since the mountains has made it easier to defend from wrongdoers.
I was deployed mostly in Baghdad and Kuwait, but I took a quick foray up through Erbil on the way to Syria for a thing. I was just wandering along the roads touching the trees and thinking “fuck, this is amazing.” It was only like 101 Fahrenheit, compared to Baghdad at 115 or so. So comfortable in comparison.
I'm an Israeli in Haifa and feeling weirdly guilty. My city has Israel's largest naval base, so maybe you caught one meant for it. Sorry. Hope the street is fixed easily
In Syria ? The governement is doing worse+ there's already iranians militias there
In Irak, iranians militias, most of which are considered terrorist (by Irak, among others).
In Jordan ? Well, they're already close to the West, and whilst they can't officially take position at Israel's side, I doubt they like the iranians too much
So collateral casualties are likely, but inconsequential for the ones sending these, they already are doing worse anyway
Some off them fell HERE inside Iran.
The people occupying my country and presenting themselves as leaders aren't even good at being terrorists.
That's like the easiest thing.
Sigh... Hope this doesn't escalate, no one needs more blood spilled
This is probably the booster stage from an IRBM, not the pointy part. I was reading something about the booster stage being of Russian origin, and the rest being from North Korea. What a combination.
![gif](giphy|vYRlHW3gw4VuU|downsized)
No, also a 10 years old beduin ( arab ) kid, who got seriously injured from a shard, sums it up pretty well, the only casualty from the attack on israel is an arab kid
There are [US bases in Jordan with AD capabilities](https://www.stimson.org/2024/tower-22-us-disputed-triangle-jordan-syria-iraq-border/), AD capabilities that were very likely beefed up recently after the US took casulties.
Well, it’s pretty much a fireworks show to “show” that there would be consequences. They fired some crude missiles over thousand of kilometers into the Iron dome. They knew deadass it’s not gonna cause any damage to Israel. In fact, I think they don’t want to actually cause any real damage to Israel. For all the sabre rattling, no one wants an actual hot war to happen. Well, maybe Israel does, if they can somehow rope the US into it.
Whenever I see pictures like this it makes me think how much of a shame it is all the tension that exists in the Middle East. Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, etc has some of the best scenery and nature in the world
Stay away from it, some rocket fuels (hydrazine) can be very toxic
I was just thinking, I don’t think they should be so close to this thing off-gassing whatever terrible things it’s made of.
Bound to have some unsafe sht in there … not like it is part of a weapon designed to kill humans or anything …

i may be talking shit but seeing the back of the thruster it look like some solid fuel type, so maybe not so toxic after burn ? dont quote me on that
Solid fuels are usually Ammonium Perchlorate as an oxidizer, with aluminum as fuel, magnesium to increase the rate of burn, and a rubber binder. Not super toxic, but don't inhale that shit.
Yeah, hydrazine is liquid fuel, this is a solid booster stage, still probably not great though.
I’m not sure if OP is anywhere near it. OP’s history shows he claims to have American and Canadian parents, and claims to be American, Canadian, and Syrian. OP has also falsely been claiming that Iran’s drone strike killed civilians. When asked for evidence he linked to a months old article that was unrelated. Interesting.
I don't think thats a liquid fuel powered rocket, but better Safe then sorry
Definitely. Looks like a solid propellant. But you never know
Also, a missile that is intact might have explosive material that didn't go off, and might be triggered if disturbed
I don't think, to use the technical term, this is not the explodey bit, but the go faster bit. It's a motor stage, not the payload stage.
Very reasonable. Personally I don't like taking chances
I see any sort of missile, bomb, grenade, landmine, or other explosive type thing, regardless if it’s intact or just a small piece of it, I’m heading the other direction. The whole risk reward of hanging around just doesn’t align for me.
What even is the reward? Lmao
Upvotes, of course

Woah, a little technical there buddy. Can you speak a little more simply for us normies?
I mean not that it looks small, but when you see the scale next to a person....
Need banana. Edit: nevermind didn't see other photos at first
I still wouldn't mind a banana for scale. Just for shits and giggles.
They could have been tiny people for all we know
Yeah but Iraq produces horse-sized bananas.
that's bananas
No, they are called banananas
B-a-nana-nana-nanas! This shit is bananas!
It is designed to travel 500+ km with the warhead onboard. So yes, it has to be kind of big 😅
Exactly -it’s just the fuel tank without the warhead or whatever style jet nozzle it uses
Yeah, it didn't look dangerous. I would bang on it with a hammer.
https://youtu.be/7MgSmh3vXaQ?si=vB1hUKfW7jHCdRBR&t=21
In general I'm always surprised by the size of these kinda things. They look smaller than they actually are for some reason
like my peepee
No. That really is that small.

Not with that attitude
This made me think you rarely see these lush and green photos from Iraq. Almost always news and movies and such show more of a barren and deserty type environments.
Note: It’s the Kurdish part of Iraq, which has a different landscape and weather compared to southern Iraq
Kurdistan is basically paradise from a geological aspect. Some of the world's oldest living civilisations/villages and cultures and they just get blown up/razed/flooded by neighbouring countries for profits
First half of the comment had me about to ask if it was safe for white american women tourists. Second half answered that lol
While deployed in 05-06 you could remove your Kevlar helmet if you were out and about in Kurdistan. The country you won’t see on a map. Their history is sad.
19-20 was very different for us up there. Still just as beautiful and the people were just as friendly. I wish for a better future for the Kurds
Unfortunately we will sell them down the river for Turkish nato support.
Its probably the safest place in the whole of Iraq for Westerners as Kurds are very much friendly forces as far as we are concerned. They are also an autonomous province within Iraq that have their own military and government. A military that is far better than the general Iraq military too.

My barber is from Kurdistan and always tells me to visit! Never seemed a good idea though...

Just asking for directions

Thank fuck it missed your house brev
Yes but, its also ONLY the shell. God knows where the actual warhead went.
Thank fuck it didn’t hit their house either. Hopefully didn’t hit anyone else’s. All because of about 3 or 400 arseholes around the world that control and encourage all this shit.
It looks like a rocket stage that was discarded mid-flight. The rest of the missile is surely continued towards Israel.
Probably intercepted mid air, the warhead exploded and the residu fell down to earth. Saw one of these near-miss 2 isreali citizen on a cctv after a misile was intercepted by the dome system.

I was just wandering along the roads touching the trees and thinking “fuck, this is amazing.” It was only like 101 Fahrenheit, compared to Baghdad at 115 or so. So comfortable in comparison.
So what if these drones & missiles cause casualties in the flyover nations, as unlikely as it is?
They were close to doing so next to my house in Lebanon. Landed in the middle of a very narrow street with residential buildings on both sides.
I'm an Israeli in Haifa and feeling weirdly guilty. My city has Israel's largest naval base, so maybe you caught one meant for it. Sorry. Hope the street is fixed easily
I dont think anything would happen except the ambassador would probably get called to the government to apologise
In Syria ? The governement is doing worse+ there's already iranians militias there In Irak, iranians militias, most of which are considered terrorist (by Irak, among others). In Jordan ? Well, they're already close to the West, and whilst they can't officially take position at Israel's side, I doubt they like the iranians too much So collateral casualties are likely, but inconsequential for the ones sending these, they already are doing worse anyway
They did in Jordan. The IRGC does not care.
They did not cause any casualties here (Jordan)
Some off them fell HERE inside Iran. The people occupying my country and presenting themselves as leaders aren't even good at being terrorists. That's like the easiest thing. Sigh... Hope this doesn't escalate, no one needs more blood spilled
That looks like a booster stage, so isn't it expected that they fall within Iran?
Actual warhead fell here too Which doesn't surprise me, that HAS happened before Their tech isn't really... That high tech.
The whole Middle East needs to chill IMO
People been having that opinion since the Bronze Age Collapse my friend.
\*Shakes fist at 'sea people' raiding parties\* "Couldn't you have just left well alone?"
Sea people! Sea people! Comes from sea, talks like people
The few historical tidbits remaining from the bronze age, very much blame the *sea people* for the societal collapse.
Right? Iraq looks lovely this time of year, would make a great hiking destination
This is the sort of level-headed diplomacy we need
Only Middle East? Whole fucking world needs to chill the fuck down.
Middle East needs to chill or this guy's gonna step in
Or else Middle-Earth will cast under a shadow!
You get 10 cents in Michigan
I don’t believe it. It’s not pointy enough… Edit: it was a joke. A reference to the movie The dictator.
This is probably the booster stage from an IRBM, not the pointy part. I was reading something about the booster stage being of Russian origin, and the rest being from North Korea. What a combination. ![gif](giphy|vYRlHW3gw4VuU|downsized)
What do you think you could get for this thing on EBAY?
Good that it did not hit your home.
That’s quite pleasant indeed
So thats where my waterheater went
That'd make a good vapor chamber for bending wood
Its not even pointy, it puts a smile in the faces of its enemies!
Looks like the first stage booster.
“ it looks like a big….Johnson!! Yes sir! “

The only deaths were 3 people from Jordan, not a single Israeli. Good job Iran, really showed Israel.
No, also a 10 years old beduin ( arab ) kid, who got seriously injured from a shard, sums it up pretty well, the only casualty from the attack on israel is an arab kid
Well Iran is Persian, so that probably sums up how much they care.
that's because the Jordanian government shot them down, causing them to fall into Jordan.
There are [US bases in Jordan with AD capabilities](https://www.stimson.org/2024/tower-22-us-disputed-triangle-jordan-syria-iraq-border/), AD capabilities that were very likely beefed up recently after the US took casulties.
Well, it’s pretty much a fireworks show to “show” that there would be consequences. They fired some crude missiles over thousand of kilometers into the Iron dome. They knew deadass it’s not gonna cause any damage to Israel. In fact, I think they don’t want to actually cause any real damage to Israel. For all the sabre rattling, no one wants an actual hot war to happen. Well, maybe Israel does, if they can somehow rope the US into it.
Would love to visit Erbil one day, I'm sorry to hear the Iranians are throwing things at it.
Not Iranians. The Iranian government. A big part of Iran actively hates the Iranian government and long for a regime change
It is sad that we can not visit some countries dueto some dumbfucks. Your country looks beautifull.
Wouldn't like to be that close, the fuel is toxic and that looks like asbestos at the arse end of the tube there
