The speed range of this missile is between 780 meters per second (Mach 2.3) and 1300 meters per second (Mach 3.8).
From “Barkan” to “Cornet” and “Almas”
In the Gaza war, the name of one of the missiles that is always heard is “Barkan”, and Hezbollah has been using these very effective missiles and anti-fortifications since the beginning. The crimes of the Zionist regime began. As a heavy, precise and short-range missile, Barkan has become a problem for the Zionist regime.
Cornet missiles with a range of 8 km and 10 km are among the other missiles used in this months-long battle. Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which used 52 Cornet missiles in the 33-day war, has fired more than 370 Cornet missiles at the occupying positions since the start of the Al-Aqsa storm support operation.

Hezbollah’s stunning drone power
In recent years, Hizbollah has been flaunting its drone power in front of the Zionists and has repeatedly sent its drones deep into the occupied territories to obtain detailed information from the sensitive centers of the Zionists; An issue which, of course, has increased significantly during the current war in Gaza.
The Zionist regime, especially after the heavy defeat against the Lebanese resistance in 2000 and 2006, turned its attention to Hezbollah’s military power, especially its missile fleet and drones. did The Zionists believe that a major part of the military power of the Lebanese Islamic resistance is related to drones that can carry out sensitive missions in the occupied territories and challenge the Zionist air force.
Experts and analysts of regional issues believe that Hezbollah’s efforts in the field of drones began in 2004. According to a report published last year by ALMA Institute (the Israeli security challenges research center), Hezbollah has 2,000 drones that it uses for photography missions, information gathering, and in some cases offensive missions. Of course, experts such as Ohad Hammo, commentator on Arabic affairs, have estimated the number of Hezbollah drones at around 4,000.
The experts and research and security institutes of the Zionist regime have examined the most important and prominent drones belonging to the Hezbollah drone fleet and have classified them as follows:
A) Ababil Mursad: Hezbollah gained the power to build this drone in 2004. This UAV is used for surveillance, reconnaissance and training missions, and its length reaches 2 meters and its wingspan reaches 3.5 meters. The drone is powered by a single-propeller engine and can be launched from a moving runway or by a rocket booster; There are three generations of this drone.
b) Witness 129: This drone was first displayed in 2012 and in terms of its composition is similar to the Israeli Hermes drone. 450″ but its size is bigger. This UAV does not need to communicate directly with the command and control station, but it can use the automatic pilot system; Where the flight path is predetermined by the control room. The operating range of this drone is 1700 to 2000 km.
c) Mohajer: Mohajer is an information drone with laser guidance. Its length is between 2.9 and 3.6 meters, and the range of this drone is between 50 and 150 kilometers, and there are four generations of it.

This UAV is also equipped with a night vision camera and an advanced communication system for control as well as a protection system, and its range reaches 400 km.
It has been said that Hezbollah has several other models of UAVs that have not yet been released to the media and the Zionists do not have any information about them, of course, the name of one of them is Hodah. “, just a few days ago, following a successful filming operation from the sensitive centers of Haifa, it became the media.
Sayed Hassan Nasrallah said in this context: the resistance has obtained new and accurate information about the positions of the Israeli enemy on the border, and the “Hodood” drone has information from inside the territories. Occupancy is back, which we haven’t released yet. We have a lot of information and what we published yesterday is minutes of many hours filmed in Haifa.
Zionists’ fear of Hezbollah’s military power and fear of confrontation
During the 9 months of the Zionist regime’s war against the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah’s Berkan missiles, along with anti-armor missiles and Islamic resistance drones, created terror in the hearts of the Zionists. It has made them helpless.
Hezbollah’s high military strength has been proven to the current and former officials of this regime. So that “Giura Island”, the former head of the internal security council of the Zionist regime, admitted a few days ago about the military capability of the Lebanese resistance. He considered Hizbollah to be an advanced and unique army and admitted: Hizbollah has between 70 and 80 thousand organized, trained, well-equipped and ready fighters.
This former general of the Zionist regime also said: The systems that Hezbollah has are no less than the most advanced systems in Israel. Israel will make a mistake if it tries to confront Hezbollah based exclusively on military concepts.
In these days, when the facts on the ground and the news indicate the possibility of a war between Hezbollah and the Zionist regime, the authorities of the Zionist regime are struggling more than ever to prevent the regime from falling into the hole. go to the well.
“Chuck Frielish”, the former deputy internal security adviser of the Zionist regime, about the danger of entering into a large-scale war with the Islamic resistance in Lebanon and the resulting losses and casualties severely to the leaders of Tal Aviv warned and admitted: All the battles with Hezbollah since the nineties have brought a disappointing end to Israel. In the event of a full-scale war, Israel’s economy and military power will be severely damaged.
Ishaq Brik, the reserve general of the Israeli army, also warned about the possibility of the army’s general aggression on the northern front against Lebanon, and said that Netanyahu’s plan is “suicide” and It will lead us all to destruction.
