In the above image, an FPV drone caught in Israeli anti-drone netting can be seen with a HEAT warhead belonging to the ‘MILAN’ anti-tank guided missile.

One of these was likely responsible for destroying the tank of Lt. Col. Ben Simhon, commander of the IDF’s 52nd Battalion, 401st Armored Brigade, in Kfar Tebnit last night.

The MILAN (Missile d’Infantrie Léger Antichar) is a French-German ATGM that has been extensively used in the Syrian Civil War and also by the Lebanese Army, which explains how Hezbollah likely procured it.

It is a somewhat old fashioned ATGM, developed back in the 1960s, and is therefore being used as a drone attachment instead of more high end shells like Iranian-made Almas or Russian Kornets.

Btw

According to Israeli media, the Israeli tank where 4 Israeli soldiers were killed in yesterday was not yet towed away due to the risks.

This is rare. After the iconic photos of 2006, the IDF would always tow any damages or destroyed vehicle asap.

The tank was near or on the hill. It's currently abandoned.

Israel is not sure if it was an ATGM strike or an FPV. Hezbullah states they used ATGMs.

The hill is a no-mans land with barely any forest coverage. Defense is happening from nearby areas obviously.

It was a tank from the 52nd Brigade who has the most advanced Israeli tanks.

It was a valuable hit against a valuable target.

A morale defeat for them because he was the replacement of another brigade commander who was injured by Hezbullah a month ago
