British popped those Baathist mortar positions for the citizens with triangulating radar sights on their 155's (these can actually hone the exact trajectory of an enemy artillery round back to the position it was fired from and turn that data into an algorithm which sets the azimuth of your artillery automatically to hit that other position with 3-yard accuracy...amazing technology) . Good for the Brits...and good for the common Iraqi people. The jig is up.
