As many as five rockets were fired at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on Monday local time, a US official told CNN. The C-RAM defense system installed at the airport engaged with the rockets, the official said. There are no reports of any casualties at this time. C-RAM is an automated system that detects incoming attacks and uses a machine gun to destroy the incoming fire before it can hit its target. The system has been used in Iraq and Afghanistan to intercept and destroy incoming projectiles targeting US forces.Will we be gifting the C-RAM defense system to our enemies, too?
