The Zionists are amazed by the strength of the air defense of the Lebanese Hezbollah.
According to al-Mayadeen, the Hebrew-language media, quoting sources in the Zionist regime’s army, admitted that a Hermes 900 drone was shot down by Lebanese Hezbollah forces.
In a conversation with the Zionist media, these sources admitted that the Lebanese fighters recently managed to shoot down a Kukhau (Hermes 900) drone.
They added that this is the first time that such an incident has occurred and it shows that the drones of the Zionist regime are not immune to attacks by Hezbollah forces.
In this regard, the Zionist Ha’aretz newspaper admitted that Lebanon’s Hezbollah had a powerful air defense that allowed this party to shoot down Zionist drones.
The newspaper emphasized that the Hermes 900 was not the first drone to be shot down by Lebanese fighters, as they also shot down another Zik drone (Hermes 450) last February.
Haaretz added: Lebanon’s Hezbollah anti-aircraft system consists of a combination of heavy cannons and shower launchers such as Estrella 2 and Igla, which operate at medium or higher altitudes.
In the continuation of this report, it is stated: Zik UAV was targeted with a 358 missile. This missile can destroy targets at the heights of the Kukhau UAV’s range of motion. Loabian Hints, a researcher at the Institute of Strategic Affairs, emphasized that Lebanon’s Hezbollah has not yet unveiled its long-range anti-aircraft systems.
In this regard, Zionist sources emphasized that Lebanon’s Hezbollah has radar-based anti-aircraft systems such as SA-22. These systems can target targets at a range of tens of kilometers and heights of 15 kilometers or more. UAVs like Hermes 900 are not safe from the attacks of these systems.
Zionist newspaper Ha’aretz added: The importance of the Hermes 900 downing operation lies in the characteristics of this drone, so that this type of drone, which was used for the first time in 2014, can accurately destroy targets by firing air-to-ground missiles. .
But the majority of missions of Hermes 900 UAVs are due to their long range and their power in long flights in the areas of espionage and continuous monitoring of different areas using thermal cameras installed in them and photoelectronic and laser sensors.
The aforementioned drones have the ability to listen to all types of wireless devices using special equipment (pods) and can disrupt the operation of these wireless devices and electronic warfare systems.
Yesterday, Al-Mayadeen network, citing Hebrew-language media, reported that Lebanon’s Hezbollah has released videos of the downing of this Zionist drone, and if these videos are accurate and true, it will be considered an achievement for Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah announced in a statement on Saturday night that the resistance fighters managed to shoot down the Zionist enemy war drone over Lebanon.
