US story unfolds amid Iran missile launch
The article discusses the use of the American "Prism" missile in aerial strikes during the Iran war, focusing on its first field experience, which revealed its capacity to cause widespread civilian casualties. Investigations showed that the missile transforms in the air into an ambush that sprays populated areas with thousands of deadly metal balls, leading to the destruction of buildings and injuries or deaths among civilians just meters from the blast point. In the Iranian city of Lamerd, missile strikes resulted in the deaths of more than 21 civilians, including children, and caused severe damage to buildings and infrastructure, despite the United States denying targeting the city. The missile is designed to fly in the air and release vast quantities of metal balls at high speed, making it lethal and effective against densely populated targets. It is considered part of the next-generation of precise-range missiles, featuring explosive capabilities over distances exceeding 500 kilometers, with the ability to destroy fortified and moving targets. Although Western countries are moving to acquire more of this weapon, experts warn to use it cautiously to prevent extensive civilian casualties.
