Although information about the types of marches held by the party is scarce, and only a few of them have been published, the bombing of an Israeli site in the Arab region of Al-Aramsha on the border with Lebanon, a few days ago, was brought to ignite the air power that the party has, and they revealed the type of advanced drone that carried out the attack.
Israel’s Alma Research Center revealed in 2021 that Hezbollah has about 2,000 unmanned aerial vehicles, many of which are advanced and manufactured in Iran, and others that the party made independently.
According to the report, Hezbollah has been using Iranian-made drones since the 1990s, noting that the party used drones in the July 2006 war.
The report said that “Hezbollah has advanced models of drones, and there are “dozens of smaller drones made by China, which are used for taking pictures, carrying bombs and dropping them. “
Although this is not the first attack that the party has launched using drones, its findings raised doubts about the capabilities of the air defense that the Israeli army boasts, and that they boasted of to repel the massive Iranian missile attack at dawn last Sunday.
About 18 Israelis, including 14 soldiers, were wounded, some of them in critical condition, in the attack in which Hezbollah used drones and targeted, last Wednesday, the headquarters of the new military intelligence company in Arab Al-Aramsha, on the border with Palestine.
This attack sheds light on the type of aircraft used by Hezbollah Israeli sources said that the attack was carried out by an improved version of the Mersad aircraft made by Hezbollah, indicating that this type of aircraft has great potential hide himself and deceive military radars. .
“Marsad” aircraft are considered to be the most important drones in Hezbollah’s air force, and they have high surveillance and attack capabilities. Tartans inspired by the Iranian “Mohajer 2”. ” and aircraft “Mohajer 4” “It has a range of 50 to 150 km, and its speed can reach between 120 km and 250 km / h, and it is equipped with cameras for reconnaissance missions. According to Israeli media.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah revealed for the first time that its fighters had a reconnaissance drone in 2004, confirming that it had flown a reconnaissance mission in northern Palestine.
Hezbollah then named its plane “Marsad 1” and said it used it to respond to Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace, noting that the plane flew over many towns and Israeli towns, arriving at the coastal town of Nahariya in northern Palestine, and then safely back to base after taking photographs of these areas.
But the recent attack on “Arab Al-Aramsha” revealed that this plane is not only for reconnaissance missions, but also for attack, since it was used last Wednesday with great success that surprised security circles is Israel’s weapon.
The widely circulated Israeli newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, commented on Hezbollah’s attack in Arab Al-Aramsha by saying, “Israel needs technological solutions as soon as possible to face the development of manufacturing drones enemies arrive. “
A report written by military journalist Ron Ben Yishai said that Hezbollah’s drones have been effective in hitting Israeli targets, and intelligence indicates that it has developed its drones with a system that is difficult to detect. find
Ben Yishai said that these planes follow an independent navigation system and a pre-planned route without external contact. This makes it difficult to cancel, and allows drones to operate in a similar way to fighter jets using dead zones.
The “Marsad” offensive is believed to be a flying bomb with wings and a warhead weighing up to 40 kilograms.
The Ayoub is a reconnaissance plane and its mission is to gather information.
This name was given to the Ayoub plane after Hussein Ayoub, one of the leaders of the party, who worked on the development of the air force of the party.
The drone’s range is between 1,700-2,400 kilometers, and it can drop up to eight precision-guided bombs, according to some estimates.
The Ababil aircraft is a suicide attack aircraft with a range of up to 150 kilometers and can carry up to 45 kilograms of explosives.
There is not much information about this aircraft, but it is believed to be an Iranian aircraft used by Hezbollah among a large group of drones, several versions of which have been developed over the past few years.
A version of “Ababil-3” equipped with smart guided bombs has a maximum operating height of up to 5,000 meters It can withstand flight for about 4 hours.
The “Hassan” drone was announced by Hezbollah in February 2022, after flying over the occupied Palestinian territories for 40 minutes on a 70-kilometer-deep reconnaissance mission, after which it returned safely to its bases.
Hebrew media reported at the time that the plane had successfully flown without being detected, and was named “Hassan,” after Hassan Laqqis, who was assassinated by “Israel” in 2013, saying that he is responsible for the party’s drone project.
A source in Hezbollah said about the aircraft that it was able to penetrate high-frequency sensor systems and precision interceptors, such as the ADS surveillance system. It went over the signal detection systems (SIGNIT), and the radar and tracking system (ULTRA C1), which is the largest radar developed by the Israeli army, installed on top of Mount Hermon, and whose main objective is to hunt down missiles and drones. .
He was also able to bypass Iron Dome’s MMR radar system. In addition to passing the newest and most advanced of these systems, that is the “Dew of the Sky” balloon, which the Israeli army deployed east of Nazareth, to hunt drones flying at low altitude.
