The war between Hamas and Israel is a war of too great a disparity in power.
Hamas and Jihad are just two guerrilla armies, armed only with individual soldiers and some homemade rudimentary rocket artillery. The total number of troops is only more than 20,000.
The Israeli army is a regular army armed to the teeth, with aircraft and artillery for everything, and even nuclear **. Israel has organized an attack on Gaza with more than 300,000 troops, threatening to flatten Gaza.
The war between Hamas and Israel is like a fight between the bantamweight and the heaviest. As soon as the game began, the ending was already sealed.
I really sweat for Hamas and Jihad. Emotionally, I really hope that the Hamas forces will defeat the Israeli aggressors, but reason tells me that this is an impossible task.
Not only do Hamas and Jihad not have strong external assistance, but their own equipment is too rudimentary.
From the **, we can see that Hamas can only use RPG rocket launchers to strike Israeli tanks, which are too old and appeared as early as World War II. RPGs are only effective if they venture close to Israeli tanks.
Palestinian militants are basically using RPG rocket launchers to attack Israeli tanks, and at present, Hamas announced that Hamas or Jihad members are holding RPG rocket launchers to shoot at Israeli tanks, and we have not seen any anti-tank missiles put into use.
The Firebird-2 laser-guided anti-tank missile, as well as some Russian "Cornet" anti-tank missiles. But so far we have not seen these two missiles put into service.
If Hamas has a large number of individual anti-tank missiles in its hands, it can strike Israeli tanks from a long distance and resist for a longer time, but it is impossible to fundamentally change the balance of power.
Some Hamas members went so far as to run next to Israeli tanks and place explosives on the side of them, which was tantamount to suicide.
When I was young, I went to the battlefield as a tank soldier, and the periscope of the commander of the Type 59 tank we used at that time could be rotated 360 degrees to observe. Modern tank commanders have a wider field of view, so it was a fluke that Hamas members ventured to get close to Israeli tanks and were not detected.
Palestinian militants are not only poorly equipped, they also have no personal bulletproof suits and no bulletproof helmets. There is a ** show that the Jihad fighters are wearing T-shirts and fighting the Israelis.
Soldiers without any protective clothing have an extremely high mortality rate on the battlefield. I have seen with my own eyes that many comrades-in-arms of friendly and neighboring units have died because they do not have bulletproof vests and high-quality helmets.
At that time, our country was still very poor, and we had not heard of such a product as bulletproof vests at that time.
I don't know how long the Palestinian militants will hold out, but from my own battlefield experience, Hamas and Jihad will not hold out for long.
How long can the ammunition last in the case of a huge number of people?How much food and water are left?
Under Israel's tight blockade, if the logistics are not provided, Hamas and Jihad will face extinction.
I estimate that the war may end in a few months.
All Hamas and Jihad fighters will die a heroic death.
