Well they're using it now to great effect. They must have preparing this assault for some time. Pic rel was one of the Merkava tanks taken out and the Hezbollah fighters were seen using RPG-7s with tandem-HEAT warheads, which is likely the culprit that took it out.

Hamas is clearly a result of Western foreign policy backfiring, and the retaliatory JDAM strikes of Israel's F-16s on civilian high-rises in the Gaza strip are only more proof.

United States' involvement in Ukraine has primarily been in support of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, in line with international law. The U.S. provided diplomatic support, humanitarian aid, and non-lethal military assistance to Ukraine in response to Russia's actions. This support was aimed at helping Ukraine defend itself and pursue a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
the events in Ukraine were not initiated by the United States but were the result of Russia's actions. Russia's annexation of Crimea and support for separatist movements in Eastern Ukraine violated Ukraine's territorial integrity and led to the ongoing conflict. The U.S. and its allies have been working in concert with international organizations to find a peaceful resolution and uphold Ukraine's right to self-determination.

It appears the drone dropped a HEAT warhead that struck the frontal portion which is where the engine block is, that's why there's fire pouring out of the side; it's coming out of the exhaust port. Likely it impacted a fuel tank or the fuel injector.

Clearly HAMAS has been learning from the Russia-Ukraine use of drones.

They captured a ton of armor including Namer APCs and Merkavas of different makes from the older M-II to the newest M-IV.

A post by Starina on youtube brought pic rel to my attention. The Merkava's quickly adapted to using what /uhg/ calls cope cages, due to their effectiveness against top-down attacks by drones, RPGs and reducing top-attack ATGMs
"Меркава" с "мангалом" над башней. ЦАХАЛ быстро учится. В данном случае у ВС РФ. ВСУ такому до сих пор не научились. А ведь как смеялись над импровизированными защитными козырьками у москалей.

It covers the majority of the turret that is actually a risk to the crew. Penetrations to the rear are unlikely and won't likely hit critical parts of the tank unless they hit the spare ammunition stowage. The front of the tank is also meant to take a hit and be mobility killed while letting crew escape.

HAMAS has been using dual-mounted Kornet ATGMs to over-come the Merkava's resistance to HEAT penetration, the system of dual-firing is called Tharallah.

Wrapping unguided rockets with aluminum foil will confuse the monopulse/mechanically steered active radar seeker inside Tamir interceptor missile of the Iron Dome. An engineer from Raytheon who helped develop Iron Dome stated this acts as chaff and decreases intercept probability.

The Ground RADAR of the Iron Dome is better at discerning the different between the rocket and chaff, but the Tamir missile's seeker is not nearly as sensitive.

I'm interested in the quality of the ПГ-7ВР warheads they're producing as a HEAT warhead isn't complex, but a tandem one isn't as easy to make. They certainly seem effective however, so clearly they're made correctly. Perhaps Iran or Iraq sent them the tooling needed.

I mean the original chaff used in WW2 was essentially metal strips being dropped by bombers to create false reflections in RADAR imageing, considering the limitations on RADAR size in a missile it would make sense for such a method to have some success.

You basically answered yourself why adding tinfoil to the rocket is the most retarded thing ever.
Fixing chaff to a rocket just makes the target look bigger.

You fail to understand what foil does to spoof low-power RADARs. It not only creates a RADAR profile, but distorts it, so that you can't actually get a good idea of the target's actual location or proximity, thus the Tamir missile seeker may 'think' that its on top of the target and detonate, when in fact it is ahead or behind the rocket, since the target is so imprecise.

Now again I'm just postulating this based on what I know about RADAR and chaff, so I could be wrong, but I wasn't the person that suggested foil as a method to begin with, I was only repeating a claim by a Raytheon engineer I heard of and thought interesting.

False for two reasons. Tinfoil doesn't distort radar that much and the Tamir uses a laser fuse together with the radar seeker at shortest range.

Very well. The weapon market is at an all time right and there is now a popular demand from both side for more public spending. Every single weapon manufacturer get filthy rich from the taxpayer's money. This war is a total American victory.

Leave that detail to the unwashed masses. Come on do you think the war on terror was about fighting terror? It's over, we need something new.
