PrSM is not mysterious. It’s a boring old (boring new) ballistic missile.
But both of them missed the obvious target in the area by several buildings’ distance. :(
I’d comment on the question of whether or not such a weapon should even be legal to use, but since they’re bombing schools, hospitals, and houses with no consequences to them, I don’t think ethics is on the table right now.
…suggest a short-range ballistic missile called a Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) was used to bomb a sports hall, school, and residential neighborhood in Lamerd.
The missiles are newly developed and are designed to detonate just above a target and propel small tungsten pellets into the surrounding area.
…The Times reported that munitions experts had analyzed footage of a weapon in flight over a residential area about 900 feet from the sports hall and school, showing the missile erupting “in a large fireball midair.”
Another video showed an explosion in midair just above the sports hall and nearby school, and photos of the aftermath showed the sites with numerous holes, presumably from the tungsten pellets.
…The sports hall in Lamerd was reportedly being used by a children’s volleyball team at the time of the strike; fourth grader Helma Ahmadizadeh and fifth grader Elham Zaeri were among those killed while at volleyball practice, according to an Iran-based journalist, Negin Bagheri.
Zaeri’s father “described her as an avid volleyball player, who would always turn up to the sports hall 20 to 25 minutes early,” the BBC reported.
The outlet also said the youngest victim of the suspected PrSM strike was two years old.

That’s not really very new, that kind of thing was widely used in WWI.
Youngest victim was two years old!
Fucks sake, americans, do something about the orange cunt. Fuck.
The US regime has been doing this since 1946.
A missile that fires hundreds of bullets in random directions is called “precision”.
And these ghouls used one on a civilian area.
I don’t actually think the use of such a missile can ever not be a war crime.
This is just a game to these assholes. A chance for them to play with their new toys. Fucking disgusting.
In case anyone doubts what you said:
Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Dan Caine also celebrated the use of the PrSM in a press conference on March 13, reported the BBC, saying the US military had “made history” and carried out attacks with “precision and determination that comes from relentless training and trust in each other and in their weapon systems.”
Highly developed coping mechanisms to protect them from their own weaknesses.
This warhead has been around for years. The Ukrainians tested it on Russians for the US. The US has been using them on all the “drug boats” in the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific. Watch any of the footage, you’ll see the blast pattern of the tungsten in the water around every boat.
It’s also meant as an alternative to traditional older cluster munitions which often leave unexploded ordnance behind.
