Talk:Scud Missile Attacks in the Syrian Conflict

Smoke Trail Video, March 1
Via the LCC, March 1 entry below: "Scud Missile Smoke launched towards the Syrian North from 155 Brigade, Damascus Suburbs." This is a daily event, by their reports, but this is the only video of a Scud firing I've seen yet. It’s hard to imagine a missile getting anywhere near 300 miles flying like that. I’m not enough of an expert for it to mean much when I ask if this is a joke. But I ask that. Or are they just using a loose definition of Scud? --Caustic Logic (talk) 12:13, 9 March 2013 (UTC) zoPwjVPd0Q8

Maadan Aftermath, Feb. 26
Reported strike Feb. 25. Haven't watched this. LCC: "Aftermath of Scud shelling in Maadan, Raqaa." (see entries Feb. 25/Feb 26 below) --Caustic Logic (talk) 12:13, 9 March 2013 (UTC) ZE9ILab4gbI

Local Coordinating Committees
Local Coordinating Committees of Syria (LCC), getting info right from battlefield commanders and witnesses to missile firings in Damascus, and has the most prolific array of Scud missile reports. It's possible they are the main source for Turkish official claims of 85-90 Scud missile strikes; there are many mentioned here… This cataloguing took a while. The site tends to freeze my computer, and another I tried it from. All mentions of Scuds and other missiles in the 2nd summary paragraph are included, but most entries list only Scud instances, while others cover other missile details. I’m not sure how far back it’s best to catalog, but I got as far back as Feb. 24, eventually running up to now or whenever. The period Feb. 18 forward seems to be the most intense and of greatest interest. Points of special interest bolded. --Caustic Logic (talk) 12:13, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Overview
Each day, an event ostensibly witnessed and so reported: "Damascus Suburbs: Qalamoun: Scud missiles launched from 155 brigade in Qutaifeh toward the Syrian North." Frequently, a Scud hit is also reported in the north. Constant confirmation, or just deduced, day after day, from the reports of “Scud” impacts? Just file and repeat. "Yep, saw that one too." Usually, they have no video. One weak exception has turned up so far (see above, smoke trail) --Caustic Logic (talk) 12:47, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
