 agents. the majority of incidents have involved either craft-produced rockets known as improvised rocket-assisted munitions (irams) or helicopter-dropped improvised air-delivered munitions (iadms), both delivering a payload of industrial chlorine gas. through 2017-2018, munitions of both types reached a design equilibrium, exhibiting consistent technical characteristics that distinguished them from earlier generations (see figures 1.1 and 1.2).

in both munition types, the designs which have emerged share several broad characteristics. these may point to the tactical requirements and practical constraints driving the syrian government’s chemical weapons program. both designs are relatively unsophisticated, simplifying their production and use. the munitions are made with basic tooling to very low tolerances, and with no extraneous components. chlorine gas is the chemical agent of choice, likely for logistical reasons. as a chemical agent, chlorine is easy to procure or produce industrially, has a variety of plausible legitimate uses (e.g. water purification), and chlorine production and use forms part of the industrial backbone of syrian infrastructure.

both designs have limited battlefield value. this can be attributed to the typically mild effects of chlorine, as well as the weapons’ lack of accuracy. nonetheless, the true value of these weapons to the assad regime lie in their ability to instil terror. it is also noteworthy that two separate branches of the syrian armed forces – the syrian arab army and the syrian arab air force – have both delivered chlorine attacks, further supporting the well-established pattern of chemical weapons usage by the syrian government.
