Rebel Rocket/Missile Acquisition

This page (currently a stub) will seek to sort out some useful details of various reports and especially videos of Syrian opposition having or taking possession or rokets and missiles of the powerful class that have been rocking the city of Aleppo for some weeks now,and now in late February being described as Scud missiles. Below are some suggested headings waiting to be filled in. There will be many technical questions on the models and capabilities we see. These we may try to establish to some small degree, and invite input from anyone better situated and willing to register (it's easy!). Other details like the location and actual dates of various finds are more likely to be established here. Likely this will be at the discussion page to start with.

Rebel Rocket Accusations
The Syrian government's initial explanation for the Aleppo University Attack was two rockets, obviously powerful ones, fired from Al-Lairamoun, to the northwest. So as of January 15, 2013, they alleged the rebels had such weapons. Rebels denied it, blaming government fighter jets, but the emerging consensus it was an attack by surface-missiles, perhaps Scud-style.
