I think they would be better off building more mortars and tubes than so many rockets. A Rocket is a one shot deal, a mortar tube is a several hundred shot deal. The mortars are easier to build than the rockets.
Material to make Rocket motors out of that can handle the heat is hard to find and difficult to make, unless they are using rocket candy and then the range, and payload is not that great for a rocket.

I for one, am glad that muzlims seem to like rockets as opposed to mortars. I am even MORE glad that they not only do not know how to fire them effectively, but they do not know how to maintain them so that they will more often then NOT go Bang. They have thrown a lot of rockets at me and they rarely ever went off and rarer still produced casualties. Like you said, a waste of time, effort and materials. My biggest worry was that they would use RPKs and PKMs in indirect fire attacks like the stadium attack in Mathew Bracken's "Enemies, Foreign and Domestic".

It is something for us to learn from. I guess I should have made that more clear. My bad.
