— 🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: Hezbollah has started mounting HEAT warheads on their FPV drones
In the above image, an FPV drone caught in Israeli anti-drone netting can be seen with a HEAT warhead belonging to the ‘MILAN’ anti-tank guided missile.
One of these was likely responsible for destroying the tank of Lt. Col. Ben Simhon, commander of the IDF’s 52nd Battalion, 401st Armored Brigade, in Kfar Tebnit last night.
The MILAN (Missile d’Infantrie Léger Antichar) is a French-German ATGM that has been extensively used in the Syrian Civil War and also by the Lebanese Army, which explains how Hezbollah likely procured it.
It is a somewhat old fashioned ATGM, developed back in the 1960s, and is therefore being used as a drone attachment instead of more high end shells like Iranian-made Almas or Russian Kornets.
