Rockets and guidance systems: Tsakhal used new weapons samples in Gas (video)
These measures were aimed at increasing the operational capabilities and ensuring the efficiency and safety of the Land Forces in densely populated areas. Among the new weapons and equipment are portable Holit and Yited missiles, an IDO night vision device, Dagger targeting system, Arrow 3, 76 gun on SAAR-6 ships, high-precision mines with Laser Steel Sting and Handmade NEGEV machine gun.
The Holit and Yited missile complexes, the Israeli military say, 50% exceed the existing samples by range and destructive. They are intended for fighting in settlements and densely populated areas, where the use of tanks and other heavy armored vehicles is difficult. Rockets are effective against buildings, vehicles and terrorists.
The complexes are equipped with a multi -stage activation mechanism, so they are safer for Israeli fighters on the battlefield, and more economical due to the possibility of cancellation of start -ups in case of change of goals, even if the activation process has already been launched. For the first time, the Israeli units in the Gaza sector were equipped with night vision devices that provide a three -dimensional image.
The modular device is easily attached to the front of the helmet of the fighter and enables one or two eyes to be observed even in completely closed dark conditions. Also, the Anti -Prace Complex Arrow and Arrow 3, designed to destroy ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere, was also used in the war. After the ballistic rocket was launched towards Israel from Yemen, the fighters of the "Protective Sword" of the air defense system intercepted it with the help of an innovation complex.
The infantry units were equipped with a third -generation Dagger sight. This device is capable of tracking moving goals, which can be, such as UAVs, a drone or even a terrorist that runs away, and helps the shooter hit the target with maximum accuracy. The sight has time to identify and capture even goals without a guide, as well as to automatically calculate ballistic deviations, evaluating the direction of movement and speed of the object.
During the operation, mortar bombs with Laser Steel Sting were first involved. They were used by the Magellan special host fighters, attacking the Hamas rocket launcher, where terrorists fired on the territory of Israel. It is noted that ammunition technologies make it possible to fire with high accuracy and reduce the risk of damage to outsiders. The Israeli military was armed with a powerful handmade of the NEGEV 7. 62 mm, 7. 62x51 NATO, NEGEV 7. 62 mm.
He replaced the NEGEV 5 and differs from the predecessor with high firing power and single firing mode. The machine gun can be positioned to some extent as a sniper weapon, since the Picatini Struts installed on weapons allows you to install sights of any type. "His ammunition is able to punch extremely thick walls, destroying the enemy even in a built -up and complex area," the army summed up.
