@psychothumbs Sure, if you don’t consider rocket launchers weapons of mass destruction. Let’s call them self-propelled artillery. I edited the original post so what I mean doesn’t get misrepsented. Thanks for the note!

Right rocket launchers are definitely not weapons of mass destruction. WMDs are generally restricted to the categories of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, with even chemical being a bit of an edge case in terms of whether it really counts as "mass destruction."

Also I don't think the Soviets were ever giving the Palestinian resistance rocket launchers either, though not as sure about that as about the WMDs.
