(haipo) - In recent days we have been hearing a large number of reports about the firing of anti-tank missiles by Hezbollah and Hamas at our forces. This short article explains what an anti-tank missile is and why it is so problematic. Later in the article you will find a video-archive, showing the launch of an anti-tank missile by Hezbollah.
Anti-tank missile - short for "anti-tank"
- Use: This is a powerful missile designed to hit hard targets, such as tanks, APCs, armored vehicles and buildings.
- Who uses anti-tank missiles: Anti-tank missiles are used in all modern armies in the world. The IDF also has several types of anti-tank missiles, very advanced, produced in the defense industries in Israel.
- What do the terrorists use: The terrorists use several types of anti-tank missiles, produced in several countries. The most famous missile used by the terrorists is the Kornet. It is a Russian-made missile, which was first launched in 1994. It is a laser beam guided missile.
- Range: An anti-tank missile can hit a target from a range of up to 5-6 kilometers (depending on the type of missile).
- The NT team usually consists of three people. They carry the launcher and the missile to a hiding place among trees and bushes and wait for the target.
- Stealth attack: The missile is launched from the thicket and reaches the target at an enormous speed - about 280 meters per second, which is about 1,000 km/h.
- How to adjust it: When the missile is in the air, there is a person who directs it to the target, usually using a laser pointer, but there are also other technologies. If the target is moving, the aimer can aim the missile even while the target is moving.
- Impact strength: Advanced missiles can penetrate over half a meter of steel and over a meter of concrete. The Cornet missile can penetrate even one meter of steel. The missiles explode the target using a warhead called a "hollow charge". The hollow charge creates a kind of stream of hot metal that penetrates the target. A target hit by an anti-tank missile looks "like a sun" - a relatively narrow impact hole and splashes around it like sun rays.
- The difficulty in destroying anti-tank squads: The great difficulty is to locate these squads, which have the ability to camouflage themselves in the field and cause great damage to a target from a very long range.
- Protection against anti-tank weapons: The best protection against these missiles is the protection developed in Israel and called "wind jacket". This active protection detects the missile approaching the tank and explodes it in the air, in a very secret way. The problem is that this shielding is not found on all IDF vehicles and of course is not found on civilian vehicles passing through the area, or on houses, which are an easy target for terrorists.
- Locating the NT squads: The IDF makes a tremendous effort to identify these squads by various means, before the terrorists launch the deadly missile and kill the terrorists. The difficulty is that there are huge areas where the terrorists can hide.
- prevention: Anti-tank missiles are launched from a place where there is eye contact between the launcher and the target. Therefore, when there is a fear of anti-tank fire, one should avoid as much as possible visible movement to areas where terrorists can hide, even when the terrorists are 5 kilometers away. The IDF makes a tremendous effort to destroy terrorists wherever there may be eye contact and a firing position between terrorists and civilian or military targets located in the combat zone.
Why doesn't Israel destroy (by burning) all the areas where there is vegetation from which the terrorists can hide and launch missiles?
In my opinion, it is mandatory to set fire to all the vegetation in the territory of South Lebanon from the fence to the north up to the distance from which it is possible to shoot. thus creating a security zone where it is easy to see if there are firing squads
A way that seems possible and inexpensive to me is the construction of a fence around the bombed houses. The fence should be such that the missile will explode on it and not on the wall of the house.
Why can't the wind jacket system be converted to protect a certain space, let's say several houses at least on one side. That is, from one side of the settlement?
The best way to fight in an area that is free of civilians and then to shoot automatically at anything that moves in the area, I am sure that the IDF has the capabilities for this and the civilians are turned away by declaring that it is becoming a combat area!
The best practice is to fight in an area that is free of civilians and then shoot automatically at anything that moves in the area, I am sure that the IDF has the capabilities for this and the civilians are encouraged by the announcement that it becomes a combat area!
In my opinion, the enemy's territory should be captured and thus the terrorists who are preparing to hide and use the Internet will explode on the way to the complex
There is a lot of military and operational information in your responses that the enemy can read and pass it on, so why exactly is it good???
Anyone who can contribute vital information from experience should tell it to our military officials, thank you
This is probably the Cornet missile.
What is our business?
The obvious question: Israeli development, a windbreaker, which the army does not have? Tanks and other critical vehicles are not protected by it????
Why????
I expect you journalists to ask this question to all the army commanders, the defense minister and the prime minister.
It is your responsibility to ask pointed questions and get answers.
We need billions for the addition to the budget pensions that Gantz made sure to get through shameless extortion. He doesn't care about the soldiers who die, the main thing is that all the officers will have a few thousand more shekels every month. Shame on him and his shoulders.
All the vegetation must be burned with Nepalm, alternatively, a weed killer and vegetation must be sprayed, as America and Vietnam did.
You have to use masking, smoke grenades and in every way to prevent contact between the laser pointer and the object, a lot of masking, the smoke rabbi, a life saver, from an experiment with Sagar missiles in the Yom Kippur war, the person who used smoke survived, remind the commanders of the forces that they probably don't remember.
How quiet in the north and wow...the devil is silent...Nasrallah Hezbollah are wise in silence....should the devil be trusted?
History says hit the Japanese they will hit you..
The tanks and flexible ones must be covered with a tzizit and registered in the Sed and you have the safest protection. This is what our sages who live among us said and it is possible to carry a mezuzah. This is how we are now completely protected.
Thank you very much for the information, I advocate on the side of attacking before defending all the time protection solutions?! It is necessary to hurt the enemy, to flatten areas for him and thus deter him!!! The solution is deterrence!!! The solution on the protection side: in exposing the area, bombs that burn large areas and thus there will be less hiding place for terrorists. And at the end and at the beginning we will pray to the Creator of the world to protect us and eradicate our enemies.
The creator of your world did not help the 1400 murdered, and in fact never helped, because he does not exist, but only in your wild imagination..!

I wonder where the tank that Natori Kaplan stole to protest,
At least it doesn't seem to be necessary.
Amidst the ruins of Gaza City, hundreds of heavy tanks of the Israel Defense Forces are waiting, thousands of such anti-tank missiles.
There will not be enough space in the military cemeteries in Israel. Cut and save this prophecy.
Only you know this, of course, therefore it is your duty to fear our forces. Maybe there are geniuses besides you who are able to manage the campaign wisely
That's why you need to level the area first.
Entering with a "fireball" lots of fire before entering and progressing slowly and then the forces are safer
It is probably the Cornet missile.... There are certain methods for disrupting the guidance of the missile, but this is not the place to go into detail.... In the advanced missiles there is a double reshak that allows the penetration of protected armor using a method that first came into service in the First Lebanon War..
