An example of why the Jews are well hated in the mid-East. They can turn shit into sugar,then make money from it.Causing extreme hatred and jealousy.Too bad.Bless Israel for letting us all have a piece of Palestinian pride.
Qassam rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaRocket design and cost
The aim of the Qassam rocket design appears to be ease and speed of manufacture, using common tools and components. To this end, the rockets are propelled by a solid mixture of sugar and potassium nitrate, a widely available fertilizer. The warhead is filled with smuggled or scavenged TNT and urea nitrate, another common fertilizer.[10]
The rocket consists of a steel cylinder, containing a rectangular block of the propellant. A steel plate which forms and supports the nozzles is spot-welded to the base of the cylinder. The warhead consists of a simple metal shell surrounding the explosives, and is triggered by a fuze constructed using a simple firearm cartridge, a spring and a nail.[10]
While early designs used a single nozzle which screwed into the base, recent rockets use a seven-nozzle design, with the nozzles drilled directly into the rocket baseplate. This change both increases the tolerance of the rocket to small nozzle design defects, and eases manufacture by allowing the use of a drill rather than a lathe during manufacture due to the smaller nozzle size. Unlike many other rockets, the nozzles are not canted, which means the rocket does not spin about its longitudinal axis during flight. While this results in a significant decrease in accuracy, it greatly simplifies rocket manufacture and the launch systems required.[10]The propellant of Palestinian rockets is generally made from fertilizer, and the TNT warhead is smuggled through the Rafah border tunnels into the Gaza Strip.
Cost
The cost of the materials used for manufacturing each Qassam is up to $800 or €500 (in 2008-9) per rocket.[11][12]
The introduction of the Qassam rocket took Israeli politicians and military experts by surprise,[13] and reactions have been mixed.[14] In 2006, the Israeli Ministry of Defense viewed the Qassams as "more a psychological than physical threat."
