Pallets of containers full of 120mm ‘illumination’ rounds, ‘divested’ to Peshmerga on 23FEB 2022, Erbil, Iraq. USA photo by Specialist Nathan Smith.
On 23FEB2022, U.S. taxpayer funded, Israeli designed, 120mm mortar illumination rounds were given to Peshmerga. The U.S. Army switched to the Israeli designed rounds in the 1990s. They were tested on U.S. Army bases in Arizona and Utah. Illumination rounds typically contain minerals like phosphorus, which burn when exposed to air. All militaries around the world use such illumination rounds, as long as they are not intentionally used as ‘weapons’ they can avoid the international ban on phosphorus weapons.
