2/2 - a "RPG-29 (Vampir)" launcher alongside "PG7-VL" & "PG-29V" munitions, a "Type-69" RPG alongside "PG-7" HEAT & "OG-7" HE munitions, shotguns, and 60mm mortar shells.

1/2 - The IDF has announced that its "769th (Hiram)" Brigade under the "91st (Galilee)" Division captured a cache of weaponry in southern Lebanon's 'Tallouseh' yesterday.

The cache included a "9K111 (Fagot)" ATGM & its "9M111-M" munitions, "1PN65 Trakt-1" thermal cylinders, -

@fac_aut_morere @macattack1958 @AMK_Mapping_ The assassination of Nasrallah needed the use of 83 BLU-109/A JDAM bombs. This base in Ali AlTaher is heavily fortified and a few JDAM bombs (already been tried) wont do much. To use a much larger wave is just a waste of assets.

IDF armored columns are attempting to advance flanking west of the UGF site, implementing scorched earth across the surrounding areas of southern Lebanon's 'Ali AlTaher' hills, firing white phosphorus shells and heavy artillery. IAF "AH-64", too, are engaged in the battle.

[percy @archivalpercy]

Interestingly, the IDFs latest security zone map, published less than a day before the assault, highlighted the hills area.

[percy @archivalpercy]

During last night's assault, the IDF attempted to capture the large UGF found under the 'Ali AlTaher' hills, south of 'Nabatieh', just hours before the implementation of the ceasefire.

[percy @archivalpercy]

Its protected by a Hezbollah-built tunnel network, alongside ATGM positions in the hills and across 'Nabatieh'. Fierce resistance was put-up against the IDF by the defensive lines, which had managed to advance substantially close to the site's nearest logistic exit.

[OSINTWarfare @OSINTWarfare]

I've collected some truly remarkable quotes from Israeli officials:

• “A ceasefire being in effect does not prevent us from continuing operations.”
• “A ceasefire does not mean ceasing fire. It means not escalating the attacks.”
• “If Hezbollah tries to confront Israeli advances in southern Lebanon, we will defend ourselves and retaliate.”

“A ceasefire does not mean ceasing fire” is apparently a brand-new contribution to the English language. If you're confused by that, you're probably just an anti-semite.

And the logic gets even better:

“Yes, we're in a ceasefire. We'll keep advancing into your territory, but you're not allowed to resist. And if you do resist, we'll retaliate because you're violating the ceasefire.”

At this point, one has to wonder why it's called a ceasefire at all. By that definition, a ceasefire seems to mean that one side keeps doing whatever it wants while the other side is expected to sit quietly and applaud.

@Djiamput1 @SilentBriefHQ Yes! a 12.7x99mm Ghoul Anti-Materiel rifle. Indigenous to Gaza.

[percy @archivalpercy]

@_1803z @adil_bach @Hadi___khan23 The lack of use stems from the scarcity of such weapons, which the factions were not able to locally manufacture at all.. Moreover, AH64s operated in quick manoeuvres and, DIRCMs cause the attacks to fail. 4 UCAV drones were downed though, afaik.

[percy @archivalpercy]

@_1803z @Hadi___khan23 @adil_bach No. HJ-8L’s imported from Sudan.

@Civil74Reaper @war_noir @IDF “full burn” ?.. i’m assuming youre referring to an ammo rack cookoff, which would also be the result of a penetration if hitting the rack..

[percy @archivalpercy]

@Civil74Reaper @war_noir @IDF Why would that matter in this context.. it has an armour thickness of 32mm of aluminium. That’s in no doubt a penetration.

@UpbeatGasJunkie @haylen630 Did we watch the same video? It obviously didnt do the job. These cages arent made to "withstand" the ammunitions, they're supposed to detonate prematurely and disperse + deform the HEAT jet, alongside wasting energy.

@UpbeatGasJunkie @haylen630 PG7-VL-AT-1. Cages dont do much. We've seen that before, its a HEAT shell afterall and the charge forms after triggering, it continues straight to where it was aiming. See below

Hezbollah has published footage of the targeting and destruction of an IDF "Merkava IV(M)" Tank using a Fiber-Optic FPV drone fitted with a "PG-7-VL-AT-1" Projectile in southern Lebanon's 'Qantara' on the 27th of April.

@haylen630 Attacks on the cannon and the gun mantlet, too, are largely effective and will force the tank into refurbishment.

[percy @archivalpercy]

@haylen630 Although you’re partly correct, i can judge that you’re largely misinformed on armour and pen dynamics based on some of your previous replies. These FPV drones have an RHA pen of ~500mm, and are very much capable of penetrating the roof from near certain angles-
