From Terror Tunnels to Suicide Drones

Over the 13 months of the current conflict between Israel and the combined forces of Iran , Hamas , Hezbollah , and the Houthis have so far failed to down a single Israeli aircraft.

Israel 's F-16s , F-15s , and F-35 stealth aircraft ravaged Iran ’s air defences, ballistic missile—and possibly drone—factories, in a three-hour strike on 27 October emerged unscathed.

None of the Shaheds used in the attack appear to have reached Israel , having been shot down over Jordan by American or Israeli SAMs or aircraft.

But some of the smaller, less sophisticated, and cheaper drones used by Hezbollah , such as the Mirsad 1 , have proven highly effective.

Hezbollah has launched these drones every day , both singly and in small swarms, sometimes in combination with rocket barrages designed to baffle radar operators.

IDF has never publicly stated how many armoured vehicles have been disabled or destroyed in Gaza or along Israel ’s northern border.

Hamas and Hezbollah have periodically issued statements claiming that they have knocked out IDF tanks, but these announcements have not always been truthful.

The relative success of the Kornets and the RPGs has been the result of recent upgrades.
