here is Israel and Hezbollah strategy when IDF launches a ground Invasion towards the south of Lebanon we all know if hisbah has been fortifying its area near the border with four layers of Defense the first layer Starts Here moving back is the second layer and the third and fourth layers are positioned here in the back as command and control centers at the tip of the spear are the tactical defense compartments located strategically along these areas close to the Border but spread out to remain as close as possible interestingly they will not keep the rocket firing positions close to the tactical defense area to avoid collateral damage just behind the rocket compartments is the headquarters responsible for directing and commanding troop movements and finally we have the sector headquarters Israel on the other hand will be conducting Air Raids to take down high value assets like anttic aircraft guns a second and third waves of the IDF will include inserting Special Forces artillery guns and infantry soldiers we will also take a quick look at has bua fager rocket and the Iranian tuin missiles all in the videos ahead Hezbollah one of the middle east's largest non-state actors has been planning its strategy and tactical defense and offensive operations as we all know the IDF has well armored tanks such as the marava and the namr fighting vehicle however Hezbollah might use the terrain and climate to Israel's disadvantage in armored and maneuver Warfare as most of these areas are hilly and Rocky unsuitable for tank tactics hezbollah's tactics include light Infantry reportedly numbering around 100,000 soldiers and anti-tank weapons like the tant an Iranian anti-tank guided missile reverse engineered from the American bgm 71 tow missile we will also look at how to fire this missile shortly in the video ahead additionally Hezbollah has around 100,000 rockets in its Arsenal though some internal reports suggest they have up to 1 million rockets in stockpile an immense quantity of weapons not to forget the hundreds of drones from Iran like this one which can serve as both counter surveillance while also switching to attacking mode Let's Take a look at hezbollah's strategy to counter the IDF defense these are the areas where tank and armor Warfare are difficult to Traverse these tactical defense systems are located all along the border strategically positioned to be the first line of defense they can consist of an anti-aircraft gun usually the Zu U23 Russian weapon are from the 1950s as discussed in our earlier anim mounted on a Toyota pickup truck a tactical defense also needs a company of soldiers armed to the teeth typically around 100 to 150 soldiers equipped with RPG one of the most effective weapons Hezbollah will be using as the Iranian two fand these can be positioned on top of a pickup truck for shoot and Scoot capabilities but can also be operated by a two-person crew this is the Iranian re-engineered American tow missile that has been in service since the 1960s let's take a look at it basic parts it consists of a launch two at the top is the targeting acquisition system supported by a tripod and a traversing unit this is the battery powered Source required to operate the targeting computer and finally we have the coil connection that helps the Gunner guides Target the Gunner tracks the target of the Cross hairs on Center Mass but the missile automatically flies 2.25 m above the line of site and in the Gunner directs the missiles using the controls located here however it's essential to maintain the Crosshair on the moving vehicle to facilitate data transmission through the optical wire ensuring the missile reaches its intended target and not try to fly the missile when the missile senses that it is directly above the Target by means of the target shape and magnetic field that automatically fires its Warhead and destroys its Target this missile has a fragmentation Warhead that weighs 7 lb which translates to around 3.2 kg and has the ability to penetrate up to 200 mm of double reinforced concrete moving ahead from the tactical defense section Hezbollah has another department that fires and controls the rocket this is the fager rocket commonly used by Hezbollah and Iran as one of the major armaments in unguided rocket sections when mounted on a Toyota truck these fire Rockets with motors containing only solid rocket fuel let's have a look inside the Hezbollah rocket this is the fuse of the rocket moving further back is the Warhead which weighs around 57 lb that can be translated to 26 kg just behind it is the rocket motor and solid fuel system and finally these are the fins that pops out after being fired they are responsible for stabilizing the missile according to the varians has a range of up to 10 to 75 km this weapon system can launch up to 20 to 40 rockets in about 20 seconds the strategy of this weapon is to deliver overwhelming Firepower designed to attack an area rather than a point target when fired from 20 km away a salvo of 20 fager Rockets creates a lethal damage area of 20 hectares moving further ahead we can find the area headquarters that control communication and the direction of infantry and troop movements all this can be achieved through surveillance drones like this one these drones can scan an area relay rough latitudes and longitudes and assign designated targets let's take a look at the basic process of firing a one-way uas the surveillance drone can loiter and wait for targets as soon as a Target is identified Hezbollah can launch these self-made kamikaz drones with a rocket assisted takeoff there's the Adar drone with a propeller that can carry a large payload Warhead the jet powered oneway uas to strike deep into Israel territory and finally the famous Shahid drone also used by the Russian in Ukraine taking a closer look this is the makeshift one-way drone it has a rocket assisted takeoff located at the bottom when launched it thrusts the Drone to a suitable height and drops off the booster as shown in the animation it then switches on the propeller engine for the remainder of its flight the famous rs2 drone also requires a rocket assisted takeoff with a propeller at the back it usually features a m 550 engine with a range of around 2,000 km translating to approximately 12200 Miles when struck it packs a punch with its shock wave effect moving forward is a jet powered drone that can travel a range of around 1,000 km similar to the others it has a rocket assisted takeoff that ejects the excess weight once the booster is fully utilized interestingly this drone can also carry the mark 82 general purpose bomb a 500lb unguided low drag weapon let's take a look at the IDF strategy and how it might work as we all know Israel has an Air Force and navy apart from the Army since Israel somewhat controls the sky the tip of the spear and their attack are the stealth fighter jets the F35 or the F16 the first wave of the attack can be the F35 using J Dam Precision guided ammunition to destroy stationary targets like bunkers or headquarters mainly located near the South and not to forget has bua anti-air defense systems like the paner mobile truck which can destroy low-flying objects or aircraft this is where the F35 Jets come in and Destroy high value targets it might be done using Israeli laser guided bombs which uses semi-active laser guidance to strike a designated Target the F-35 can do this because of the stealth technology associated with it this clears the way for the Israeli f-16s which are more agile and available in large numbers quick note Israel has 362 F-16 fighter jets while there are approximately 36 F-35 stealth Jets available in service the s16 and F-35 would become the first wave of the attack destroying as many anti-aircraft guns as possible the second wave of attack includes inserting Special Forces into hez buet territory along with drone surveillance special forces act as forward observers to communicate with the fire and Command Center these highly trained soldiers are tasked with laying longitude codes essential for guiding the self-propelled guns or directing artillery fire often referred to as the king of battle let's examine why they might still be called the king of battle firstly fighter jets cannot engage more targets than artillery a fighter jet flies One mission per day dropping two 500lb bombs before flying home artillery can spend all day and all night pounding targets with 100 pound shells while the bombs dropped by fighter bombers tend to be heavier than artillery shells that in and of itself is not that much of a benefit the cost Factor also comes into play it costs around $200,000 for a fighter jet to fly a single close air support Mission by contrast an artillery shell cost a few hundred and thus calling artilleries the king of battle the third wave involves deploying infantry soldiers using neyar fighting vehicles and marava tanks South of Lebanon as a reminder Israel also gained early experience with Urban Warfare during the 1982 Lebanon war however Hezbollah has an advantage in urban Warfare attacking forces will struggle to achieve the element of surprise because they are monitored by the defending troops who can remain hidden from the attackers buildings especially those made of steel reinforce concrete or stone serve as fortified bunkers from which defending forces can fire upon attackers another possibility is hezbollah's large network of tunnels and buildings they can use these to flank larger infantry units employing RPGs and automatic weapons using the hit andun tactics a smaller Army can appear larger however neither attacking nor defending forces can Mass their assets in a concentrated location resulting in a potentially NeverEnding conflict we make original videos from from scratch so please do subscribe and hit the
