Weapons

A considerable variety of weapons were used in this war.

There were a significant number of old or ancient weapons which dated back to before WW I and there were the more modern weapons that were in use in the years immediately after WWII.

No chemical or biological weapons were used other than phosphorus bombs in the 81mm mortar. (We saw no phosphorus burns in the FST)

The adoo usually had weapons sourced from the Eastern Bloc and the Sultans Forces were supplied by the West.
