Is it true that Hamas is exaggerating and that Israeli tanks have been hit to nothing?
Since the beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian war, Palestinian resistance groups have frequently released videos of attacks on Israeli tanks and armored vehicles by anti-tank missiles, Yasin-105 anti-tank rocket launchers, and earth bombs. The tenacious fighting spirit of the rebels can be seen from the film. In these programs, a passage called:"Anti-tank Superman"of"Anti-tank dance"The footage of the attack, which attracted a lot of attention, shows the footage they used to attack Israeli tanks.
However, the video of Hamas's attack on Israeli tanks raises suspicions. Some have noted that many of the footage shows only the moment the target was hit, but not the true power of the destruction, raising questions about the true effectiveness of the attack. Some say that Israeli tanks are well protected from something like the Assin-105 rocket, so there is a good chance that Hamas's statement is an exaggeration.
Some professionals believe this, after all, the power of armor-piercing armor is more complex. Multiple protective measures such as composite armor and anti-armor make the armor-piercing projectile weaken and deflect when penetrating. Even if it can penetrate the tank, because the bullet is too small, the power will not be too great. In some cases, the effect of a bullet penetrating armor depends entirely on luck, and it is possible that the entire vehicle is **, or it may only be slightly injured, or it may be destroyed by air currents in the air, and there is no real threat to the vehicle.
In general, the video of Hamas's attack on Israeli combat vehicles must be sensibly evaluated in a rational manner, while also taking into account the characteristics and power of its armor. Due to the complexity of the tank's own immune system, it is difficult to evaluate it, so it is necessary to avoid making overly optimistic or negative judgments about a certain segment when analyzing it comprehensively.
Therefore, in many cases, even if the armor-piercing bullet hits the chariot and produces a violent **, it does not necessarily mean that it has been completely wiped out. The war between Russia and Ukraine proves this, and many of the equipment that was shot stayed in its original position, but it is not known whether it was destroyed. For example, the Ukrainian military has used anti-tank guns and FPVs to strike the Russian Army's T-80 BVM tanks on several occasions, and they have returned unscathed, which shows that when armor-piercing shells hit their targets, they do not necessarily destroy them.
However, while vehicles hit by armor-piercing shells are not always destroyed, they can occasionally be paralyzed. For example, damage to power compartments, fuel tanks, mobile machines, transmission mechanisms, or electrical systems can cause a vehicle or armored vehicle to lose power and be forced to stop there and wait for the army behind to pick it up. In addition, although the car was not damaged much, the passengers on it were injured as a result, so that the combat unit could no longer fight and had to leave the scene for medical treatment.
And most importantly, what to do after being hit by an armor-piercing bullet. If these cars had not been destroyed, they would have faced a difficult situation to cope with. For example, they were hit by armor-piercing shells from Hamas, and the car was not damaged much, but will they send rescuers to tow the truck?With no soldiers' control over the home, Hamas is likely to lurk around and look for opportunities to attack. Even if the car is pulled back, the people in the car will be injured, which is a devastating blow to the entire convoy, and they can only move forward after the injured have healed.
This is the weakness of the devil, the power of the armor-piercing projectile is not important, what matters is the situation that it needs to cope with after hitting the target.
Although the people in the car did not have **, the many bullet marks on the body of the car, as well as the damage to the machinery and electrical systems, and the maintenance equipment in front could not repair the problem. It seems that the Israeli army combat equipment is facing widespread difficulties, and now, even the Merkava type cannot be built. On a broken tank, logistics may be as simple as a cup of tea and a cigarette, and repairing a piece of armor can take a whole day. In this case, it is not that it will be destroyed, but that it will be forced to retreat because there is no way to repair it.
On the battlefield, much of the time is a brutal game of data, including losing and repairing tanks. According to the words of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War, even two completely scrapped tanks could be reassembled as long as they were reassembled. So, it is much more difficult to destroy a tank than we think. However, whether it is damaged or repaired, the tank is pulled off the battlefield and faster than they can enter the war, then the war is won. This is how armor-piercing shells are tactics when fighting tanks. Here, once again, we pay tribute to the Palestinian resistance groups.
