Hezbollah has claimed they destroyed mobile radar, air defense units as well as multiple Iron Dome batteries, but the claims have been ignored by the media and military analysts as propaganda and Israel (as always) does not report of any losses, specially not in the north.
In a video released by Hezbollah yesterday (Can find it on my telegram channel: https://t.me/newsvideofa/1954), one can see how a manpad missile was shot against the Israeli military Meron site and taking out a mobile unit that is part of the early warning system of Israel to detect drones and missiles.
What makes this video surprising and unique is that the missile corrects it’s trajectory to locate and hit the target perfectly. The target is an AN/TPQ-37-II mobile long range artillery detection unit (the video claims it is the much larger and more advanced Israeli ELM-2084 but it looks much morel like a much cheaper AN/TPQ-37-II) that costs about $25M. I could not find any information about it being purchased by Israel, but as always, Israeli military purchases are not easy to locate.
Judging by this video, I am wondering if their claims about destroying at least 2 Iron Dome batteries (each worth $50M) are also true and it is really going to have major impact on Israel’s ability to engage with Hezbollah and Iran while also fighting in Gaza.
Anyway, this was a big surprise for me and I always thought the videos shared on Iran military telegram channels were propaganda and/or fake, but this is a game changer for Israel who always had a huge advantage in firepower and technology compared to all of it’s enemies.
