Hamas and PTRK "Cornet": The militants again discovered Russian modern weapons (photo)

According to the military expert Igal Levin, the anti -tank complex "Cornet" used by Hamas militants is an export version of 2016. The fragment of the Russian TTRC "Cornet" 2016 release was again discovered in the Palestinians in the Gaza Sector. About it reports in his telegram-channel the editor of the department "Military Focus", an officer of the reserve of the Israeli army Igal Levin.

He notes that this is an export version of the anti -tank missile complex with a firing range up to 8 thousand meters. This is not the first time that the Israeli military receives the facts of using modern Russian weapons. This indicates that Hamas spent considerable funds from foreign donors he received for humanitarian needs for the purchase of modern weapons.

Hamas actively uses weapons from the Russian Federation, Iran and the DPRK, while sometimes it is about new developments of the type of PTRC "Cornet". This complex, according to Roszma, began to be supplied abroad in the 1990s. In 2010, it was first reported that the Palestinians in the Gaza Sector have a "Cornet". It was claimed that the PTRK got into the Gaza Sector from Syria. In addition, it became known that "Cornet" is in "Hezbolla".

According to the Defense Express Information and Consulting Agency, Israel accused the Russian Federation in 2011 that the Cornet PTRC was already in service with Hamas-then a rocket was hit by a school bus. However, Russia supplies not only anti -tank complexes to Palestinian militants. According to Defense Express experts, there are also samples of older PTRCs of "Fagot" and "Contest", and a jet grenade PG-7VR "resume", which was adopted in the USSR in 1988 with a lifetime of 15 years.

"And the fact that the Russian Federation actively supplies these jet grenades to the Middle East, shows a photo from Syria, where these weapons" lit up "in 2015. After which the PG-7 VR" Summary "to any terrorists around the world is not a problem at all ", - the agency analysts specify. In addition to portable anti -tank agents, Hamas fighters also have in service with MSRCs. And the first appearance of these remedies was fixed only in 2012.

Then it was suspected of getting into the Gaza Sector of the Soviet Arrow-2. "But since then, the number of MAS in militants has increased significantly. The main samples were not only the Arrow-2 MSrk, but also the newer needles, as well as Chinese MSrk QW, their Iranian copies DPRK, which have previously been spotted in Syria, " - noted in Defense Express. Of course, there are questions, emphasize military experts, as all this and in that number got into Hamas.
