in the part technology and deployment the reader expects to learn "what is" an iron-cased rockets, how it works and how was it invented. instead there is just the same historical narration of warfare that might had brought the reader to this supposedly more specific article in the first place. This article is supposed to be about the this kind of rocket and its use. Yet it provides little about the thing itself, the rocket. Thanx. Maysara ( talk) 15:18, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
I believe a painting hung in reception lobby at Wallops facility of NASA is not noteworthy enough to have a whole section for it. That painting sure inspired young Kalam in 1960's but that is it.

There are accounts of Marathas using such iron encased rockets [1] and new research on actual rockets found in private and royal collection supports those accounts and suggests there might be others in the region who used similar rockets as well. [2] Hence I am removing assertions in the article that suggests Mysoreans were first or pioneers in use of iron-cased rockets for military use. Ohsin 01:45, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

The war rocket used by the Mahrattas which very often annoyed us, is composed of an iron tube eight or ten inches long and nearly two inches in diameter. This destructive weapon is sometimes fixed to a rod iron, sometimes to a straight two-edged sword, but most commonly to a strong bamboo cane four or five feet long with an iron spike projecting beyond the tube to this rod or staff, the tube filled with combustible materials
