Why is Hezbollah using dozens of drones daily/weekly?

#Hezbollah’s drones have evolved into one of the organisation’s most formidable tactical assets, exhibiting a level of effectiveness that poses a direct and persistent challenge to #Israel’s security protocols.

These drones have not only demonstrated their ability to reach sensitive areas but, on two separate occasions, they penetrated security perimeters around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residences, even causing damage to his bedroom area. Such attacks, including the one against the Golani barrack, underscore the precision, range, and disruptive potential of Hezbollah’s drone capabilities, highlighting their capacity to strike high-value targets deep within Israeli territory.

Hezbollah’s drones are equipped with sophisticated navigation and targeting systems, enabling them to conduct precision reconnaissance and direct strikes. Operating at low altitudes and leveraging terrain-following capabilities, these drones can evade traditional radar systems, allowing them to infiltrate areas with high-value targets without early detection. By utilizing GPS and other satellite guidance technologies, Hezbollah’s drones can strike or surveil specific locations within a precise margin of error, posing a real threat to secured facilities and key personnel.

The ability of Hezbollah’s drones to reach critical Israeli sites indicates a remarkable range and penetration power. These drones are designed to fly extensive distances, breaching secure zones and dodging multiple layers of defence. Their effectiveness is not limited by proximity to the Lebanese border, granting Hezbollah the ability to project power deeper into Israel than traditional ground-based forces.

Hezbollah’s drones are relatively affordable to manufacture even locally, which allows the group to deploy them in more significant numbers than many conventional weapon systems. This scalability enables Hezbollah to launch multiple drones in swarm formations, overwhelming Israel’s air defences by saturating radar systems with numerous targets. Swarm tactics allow Hezbollah to increase the likelihood of at least one or several drones successfully reaching their intended target, as intercepting every unit in a multi-drone operation presents significant challenges to air defences.

Hezbollah’s drones fulfil multiple roles, including intelligence gathering, precision strikes, and psychological operations. For surveillance, these drones are used to monitor Israeli troop movements, observe defensive deployments, and gather real-time data, which bolsters Hezbollah’s planning capabilities and situational awareness. When outfitted with explosive payloads, the drones can target specific military )or other) infrastructure or high-profile individuals, including potential assassination attempts on leaders such as Netanyahu.

This versatility makes Hezbollah’s drones an invaluable intelligence and offensive operations asset.

Hezbollah’s adoption of drones aligns with its strategy of asymmetrical warfare, allowing the organisation to challenge Israel’s conventional military superiority. Each successful drone incursion not only demonstrates Hezbollah’s tactical reach but also creates a profound psychological effect on the Israeli public and the army leadership. The capability of these drones to penetrate secure areas is a stark reminder of Hezbollah’s reach and technical prowess, creating a sustained atmosphere of vulnerability that Israel must continually address.

Hezbollah’s reliance on drones for high-risk missions minimises the need to deploy personnel into dangerous situations, thereby reducing human risk. These remotely operated systems provide a critical advantage in missions that would otherwise entail substantial risks for human operatives, especially in heavily fortified areas. The ability to execute strategic goals from a distance enhances Hezbollah’s operational flexibility and allows it to engage Israeli defences with relatively minimal manpower and resources.

Hezbollah’s drone program has forced Israel to allocate significant resources to counter-drone defences, including enhanced radar systems, electronic countermeasures, and missile defence batteries. Each incursion or successful targeting operation by Hezbollah’s drones imposes operational and psychological costs on Israel, as it compels the country to continually fortify its defences while remaining vigilant to the potential for future attacks.

    Everybody uses drones, fake state “Israel” uses drones, the Jewish dictator Zelensky uses drones, but none of them has managed to excel as much as Hezbollah in the drone asymetric war.

    israeli ‘superiority’ comes only from its avation which is US aviation (many belive that even the pilots are US pilots or double passport holders).

    Without their planes which they use to exterminate children and women, the zionists will have zero superiority and again it comes from US taxpayer money and rotten western politicians.

    However Hezbollah found a way to smash the genocide perpetrators and kill large numbers of its criminal ‘soldiers’.

    While the occupying regime targets civilians, the Resistance kills soldiers, destroy bases and military targets.

    Everybody knows who is the good guy and who they want to win. No debate here.

    And the sold-out politicians and their presstitutes dare to try to sell us that Hezbollah and Hamas are the terrorists?

    They not only insult our intelligence, they dig their own graves. like “israel”…
