Open source evidence depicts combat applications of similar Falaq rocket launcher type arrangements in use during current Syrian conflict, possibly explaining the timing of this formal publicity. MODAFL claims Falaq rocket launcher system "capability to destroy enemy targets within a radius of 10 kilometers."
