Fighters of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement continue to destroy various Israeli armored vehicles that have invaded the south of the country.

There are a lot of video clips on social networks where kamikaze drones hit Merkava Mk tanks.4M, Namer heavy armored personnel carriers and other samples involved in this operation.



However, such shots were limited to this. Nothing else showed. Therefore, reports on the affected "dozens of pieces of equipment" have been questioned by many for a long time.

Whenever another drone hit an IDF armored vehicle, comments from Israelis and their sympathizers appeared on various networks, noting that drones with monoblock rocket-propelled grenades could not, in principle, harm tanks like the Merkava Mk.4M, no damage, as they are the most "unkillable".

Hezbollah responded to such propaganda claims by using additional drones to record the results.

And the blissful "picture" immediately changed. So, in one of the new plots, a tank equipped with a latticed "barbecue", as in other videos, gets hit in the roof and then demonstrates something that was not shown before.

We can see that ammunition is igniting inside. The "Four" quickly turns into a giant fireball, from which fragments of charges fly in different directions. If there were tankers on board, they had almost no chance of escape. Neither the thick multi-layered armor nor the Trophy active protection system helped. Therefore, the previously published data on the destroyed dozens of tanks are probably true.
