Hezbollah released footage of an FPV drone hitting another Israeli tank.

The Lebanese group Hezbollah has released footage showing the defeat of another Israeli tank "Merkava" FPV strikedrone.

Footage allegedly filmed near the town of Alma al-Sha'b in southern Lebanon shows a UAV accurately striking an IDF combat vehicle equipped with only minimal anti-drone protection. The IDF's Lebanon campaign clearly demonstrates that Israeli commanders are extremely slow in adapting their military equipment to modern combat conditions. The process of "hardening" and installing protective grilles on Merkavas and other Israeli armored vehicles is proceeding very slowly, leaving them vulnerable to FPV drone strikes.

Hezbollah has reported the destruction of several dozen Merkava tanks and a number of armored personnel carriers in a relatively short period of time. Even with the media's traditional exaggeration of enemy losses, the abundant footage clearly demonstrates that the Israelis have not yet found an effective solution to protect their armored vehicles from drone attacks. At the same time, the IDF is repeating the tactic of entering enemy territory through destroyed city blocks in southern Lebanon, as it did in Gaza. However, in such conditions, vehicles cannot move quickly, making it much easier to destroy them.

It's telling that the active use of FPV drones hasn't forced IDF command to abandon the traditional use of armored vehicles. Tanks essentially serve as mobile checkpoints. Thanks to their excellent optical-electronic systems, as well as their cannon and machine guns, the combat vehicle can move into position and control the surrounding area, becoming an easy target for FPV drones.

[Vicontas]

As folklore goes, "There are few fools (in Israel), but they are so cleverly placed that you encounter them almost at every step!" The destroyed Merkavas will prove that!

[Micha1981]

Only Israel repairs all the damaged ones.

[Foggy Dew]

...and they also have 7 casualties in Lebanon over the entire period... The quote above about fools is spot on - and true - they are found at every step!

[Micha1981]

Seven people, doubtful. I'd like to know the official number of wounded.

[Foggy Dew]

English Wikipedia says 18 killed, 730 wounded))) Israel, as I read, is saying roughly the same thing, but the last time I read from them - 7 killed and about 500 wounded, but this is such a lie that it’s embarrassing to discuss.

[Deaf]

I'll tell you from experience. At company level. Although now I can do it as a brigade. The 200/300 ratio is 1 to 5 at most. More often than not, it's more like 1 to 3. So you can talk shit about it. Especially, even back then in Gaza—I enjoyed the videos. When the IDF "snitsnaz" were stuffing their asses. And they're supposedly listed as 300s? Well yes. Well yes.

[Foggy Dew]

What am I talking about? Even if you throw in some tall tales about super-protected equipment and add medics with stretchers in the chain, you'd never get that kind of ratio, so it's a sham.
That jumper, even if it's a shell-less charge on the drone—which is unlikely—is definitely heavy. It's a 50/50 chance he'll survive, but how many of those are there for each tank explosion?
And I laughed about Gaza myself. Tanks without escort, infantry without a care in the world—how did they even make it to adulthood?

[Deaf]

Yeah, I don't remember whether it was here. Or maybe I wrote the same thing in Telegram as you, colleague. I was catching the drone myself. But the drone-killers managed to take it down. They shot me, basically, too. There were no other options. The crew saved me. I wrote a report refusing to initiate proceedings, etc. against him. If the guy hadn't shot, I would have been done for (by the way, I don't know if swearing is doomed or not. Please, admins, don't go crazy). They fought off about a dozen shots of buckshot. Impact. Impact. Another impact. Then an explosion and darkness for two days. My first thought: what can I move? Almost everything. Only my left leg - I can't feel it below the knee. They couldn't restore the nerve. Both with the initial and subsequent ones. I recently tore ligaments and didn't feel it. I realized when my foot was half swollen and the pain finally came.
P.S. I have two disabilities, but I didn't officially register them. There are more problems than payments.

[Foggy Dew]

It was a shame we didn't. Well, it's easier for me. I was lying down anyway. What else could I do?))) But back then, drones weren't going crazy, like they used to do with AGS, and I guess I didn't understand anything.

[Deaf]

At 23, yes. 2 discharges. At most, a minor concussion. All the guys were shooting up the sky, and when it got stuck, they gave it to you—you're a target. Down. The discharge itself. It'll roll away. The shrapnel keeps going higher and into the embryo... We've all been through this.

[Micha1981]

You just need to calculate how many people are killed on average for this number of wounded.

[Vauxhall]

Quote: Foggy Dew

...and they also have 7 casualties in Lebanon over the entire period... The quote above about fools is spot on - and true - they are found at every step!

There are already more than 30 dead Jewish publications allowed on Facebook.

[kosmozoo]

...and they have also lost 7 people in Lebanon in total.

Censorship upon censorship, and fools open their ears.
In the midst of the Iranian response, I was chatting with my classmates, many of whom had settled there. When I asked, "So, how are things going there? Are the explosions going on a lot?" I received a response along the lines of, "We're strong, we're tough, we'll defeat the vile Iranians." The lack of a marching song in the background was lacking. There was no substantive answer.

[bayard]

Well, that means there is more work for repair companies now.
In the footage, the drone appeared to be attacking not the tank itself, but a fleeing soldier. However, there were apparently several of those drones, and plenty of targets.

[Micha1981]

Israel even repairs tanks that we or the Americans would consider irreparable losses.

[bayard]

This means that it is even more impossible to leave such masters without work. There is enough work for everyone.

[Micha1981]

Yes, I think everything there is loaded to capacity.

[stankow]

Are there different laws of metallurgy there? Do they repair burnt armor?

[Micha1981]

They will be melted down and carried out as repairs, because Israeli tanks cannot be destroyed by all sorts of...

[Deaf]

Yeah. After the gas, they ordered 200 Merkavas. No losses (c)

[APASUS]

Quote: Micha1981

And he does a lot of repairs, you don’t want to voice it.

[Micha1981]

I have no information, but judging by the video, what we would consider irretrievably lost, they are repairing; this is due to limited resources.

[APASUS]

Quote: Micha1981

I have no information,

Well, it started, they said and then moved aside.

Quote: Micha1981

The video doesn't give a complete picture of the damage. If a tank catches fire and hits the engine compartment, it's 100% destroyed. Vehicles that burn out aren't repaired.

[Micha1981]

Judging by the video, complete burnout is rare. Most likely, the burned-out one will be treated as a repair, but it will be new.

[APASUS]

Quote: Micha1981

Judging by the video, complete burnout is a rare occurrence.

In this frame, can you determine the extent of damage?

Quote: Micha1981

Most likely, the burnt-out one will be carried out as a repair, but it will be new.

Are you serious? Have you ever seen a vehicle after it's burned out? Can you guarantee that all its performance characteristics will be preserved after a tank's hull overheats?

[Micha1981]

No, the nature of the damage is not visible there at all.
I saw it, but it's not for me, it's for Israel to decide whether they'll melt it down or restore it. Of the videos I've seen, there are only a few cases of burnout, and those were filmed by Israeli soldiers themselves on their phones.

Leaky Merkavas, leaky dome, leaky Jews...

It's like a somersault on video.

[Sergey Tkach]

If you want to live, you'll jump differently.

[alexputnik17]

They're creating a beautiful nightmare. And the Zionists are running around beautifully. It's a shame Hezbollah has few or no reconnaissance drones to continue filming this beauty...

[Lako]

The Jews, with some kind of sheepish stubbornness, do not even try to get any additional protection from drones on the Merkavas.

[andrey martov]

Wow...do Israeli Merkava tanks even have catapults? No, you did see the driver ejected from the tank when a drone approached.

[Foggy Dew]

This is because they don't take Orthodox people into the army - otherwise he would get caught with his sidelocks.

[Karabin]

The Lebanese group Hezbollah has released footage showing the destruction of another Israeli Merkava tank by an FPV drone strike.

I've watched this video several times. I think the drone targeted the tanker who jumped, not the tank itself.

[Deaf]

You're right. A tank can be repaired in a couple of weeks. The crew is at least 20 years old. Or train a new one. They're targeting people right now. The priority is to eliminate IDF personnel. That's why they're so silent about the losses. And the Lebanese have meat. A well-known tactic.

[Karabin]

Correctly noticed.

Then the text needs to be changed - The Lebanese group Hezbollah has published footage showing the defeat of another Israeli tank (Merkava) tank crew FPV drone strike.
