Foreign press: Israel is "concerned about the ability of militants to attack Merkava tanks using drones"

92

The Lebanese press reports that the 188th Barak Armored Brigade, subordinate to Israel's Northern Regional Command, conducted exercises using modernized tanks "Merkava". Reports say that the brigade has recently received updated armored vehicles. At the same time, it points to the version of the Merkava IV tanks (Mem 400).

Lebanese information sources state that the updated versions of Israeli tanks are equipped with "the most modern control and target search system."



Lebanon draws attention to the fact that Israel is closely following the actions of the American administration regarding the nuclear deal with Iran. If Tehran does not return to the deal on the terms put forward by the United States, then a new aggravation of the situation in the Middle East may begin. At the same time, a possible territory of confrontation is considered the southern part of Lebanon - "an operation against Hezbollah."

Voennoye Obozreniye this week reported on the demands that the Biden administration is making against Iran. In particular, Iran is expected to provide a full range of data on its nuclear facilities. "After receiving such a list," Washington will announce to Tehran which facilities it "should close", and in return the US "will partially lift the sanctions."

Returning to the topic of the exercises of Israeli tank crews, it is worth noting the publication in Noticias de Israel, which says that Israel is "concerned about the ability of militants (representatives of Hamas and Hezbollah) to carry out tank attacks from the air" - using dronesloaded with explosives. At the same time, foreign media cites a video dated May 2019 on the Al Mayadeen YouTube channel, which shows an explosion next to a tank. Then it was reported that a grenade dropped from drone. The tank, which was said to have been in the Gaza Strip during the operation, received no visible damage.

      Hmm ... a tankman in a shirt was born, very lucky
      Then it was reported that a grenade dropped from a drone could be used against an Israeli tank. The tank, which was allegedly in the Gaza Strip during the operation, received no significant damage.
      Well, for this it would be necessary at least to get into this tank and not anyhow, but RKG-3 wink

        Recently, A. Rogatkin's story about Russian UAVs was posted here, where it was mentioned in passing about the presence in the LPR (and possibly ours) of combat drones dropping such a modified grenade.

        Regarding this video what ...

        As you can see, the UAV manages to fly up to the equipment unnoticed and release the ammunition. Here are just the "sight" disappointed ...

                Drones from Gaza have been launched for several years.
                As well as cylinders with a load - a combustible mixture, for forest and field fires.
                Formed special "anti-drone" units. Jeeps with lasers.
                But on the Merkava, they began to modernize the KAZ Trophy so that it could distinguish drones
                and falling grenades from other means of attack.

      The tank was in Israel. It can even be seen on the video.
      We have taken care of protecting the hemisphere for a long time, and therefore the roof is so protected there. I am sure that KAZ will reconfigure to respond to targets slowly approaching from above. I think this is the reason for the addition of AFAR optical sensors. The main thing is not to react to the Fylystyn stones.

          Not everything is as simple as you would like
          KAZ "Meil Ruach" does not just protect the tank from RPGs and ATGMs. It gives target designation to fire sources, greatly simplifying their detection and defeat. In fact, protection is only 30% of the system's return. 70% is hers other possibilities.

        In addition to personal protective equipment, group ones are needed. In my opinion, a hybrid of IM-SHORAD and BMPT Terminator is optimal. On various chassis from off-road vehicles to tank vehicles, radar + OLS + BIUS + 30-40 mm cannon with controlled projectile detonation + MANPADS / ATGM.
        Experiments with energy weapons are interesting, but their effectiveness is not clear. The advantage of this classic weapon is the ability to work on the ground.
        Israeli radars are installed on IM-SHORAD. They work on surfaces and air. This makes it possible to detect not only UAVs, but also ATGM calculations, calculate the positions of mortars.

Your boss has children in London, the Minister of Defense did not serve in the army, all your mentors criticize the West ... And they themselves have built a nest there for a long time, they are still here because here in Russia there is an awesome financial income! But what do you have? I have 50 years of continuous reforms, where there is no clear system, where each next ruler builds a system exclusively for his beloved.

        Drone "war" may roll on a little earlier than the military finds effective, affordable ways to defend against the mass of offensive business means.

        Engaged media keep quiet about the fact that it is possible to withstand drone warfare and there is everything necessary for this.
        At a press briefing in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh on March 8, Colonel Turki al-Malki, spokesman for the Saudi-led Arab coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen, said the coalition had destroyed most of its 350 ballistic missiles and 550 explosive missiles. ... drones launched by the Houthis. “No country in the world has been able to withstand these drones like Saudi Arabia,” he stressed.
        “Most missiles and drones do not hit anything, even if they are not intercepted. “Most drones have tiny payloads that are not designed to harm personnel,” said Michael Knights, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Middle East Policy.
        The Royal Saudi Air Force is the only one in the Middle East to operate a Boeing E-3A Sentry, commonly known as AWACS, which, together with two SAAB-2000 Erieye aircraft, helps provide powerful early warning capabilities that are critical to efficient air traffic. ... defense.

        Since then, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge. The second generation is already in operation. The system today is much more advanced.


        As for the danger of hitting Merkava tanks from the side of the upper sphere with small unmanned aerial vehicles, the likelihood of such a phenomenon much higher the danger of hitting the tank by a falling meteorite and this should be taken seriously. wassat
