Lob bomb
A lob bomb (known officially as an improvised rocket-assisted mortar,〔 〕 improvised rocket-assisted munition,〔(VOA News - Insurgents Using New Homemade Rocket Weapon in Iraq )〕 or IRAM)〔 is a rocket-fired improvised explosive device made from a large metal canister (usually a propane gas tank that has been drained of its contents and filled with explosives, scrap metal, and ball bearings),〔(Democracy Now! | Stop-Loss: A Look at the US Military Policy that Creates a "Backdoor Draft" to Force Soldiers to Continue Service )〕 which has been used by insurgents during the Iraq War since late 2007.〔〔 The weapon is essentially an airborne version of an improvised explosive device.
==Design==
Lob bombs are propelled by 107 mm rockets and launched, several at a time, from the backs of small trucks where they are arranged in rows,〔(Defense Review - Baghdad: Improvised Rocket-Assisted Munitions (IRAMs) Arrays Can Kill over Walls )〕 sometimes by remote control (using a signal from either a cell phone, cordless phone, command wire, or other form of remote control device). They are typically launched in an arced trajectory, which enables them to be aimed over walls that enclose opposing bases and other military facilities, in a similar manner to a conventional mortar.〔 The weapon is believed to be highly inaccurate, and unofficial estimates place the range of lob bombs used so far as being between 50 and 150 yards (approx. 45 to 140 m).〔(Lob Bomb )〕
