I'm here to talk about homely things
The Palestinian resistance movement, quoted by the Lebanese Times, said that during a joint operation, they shot down a Hermes 7 drone with a SAM 7 anti-aircraft missile over Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip.
The operation was allegedly a joint operation between Jihad and Hamas-affiliated forces, which have frequently joined forces in the past.
The SAM-7 anti-aircraft missile, also known as the SA-7 "Greer", is a portable low-altitude short-range surface-to-air missile, developed and manufactured by the Big Goose Machine Building Design Bureau (KBM).
In general, it is more difficult to intercept the Hermes 900 UAV with this missile. The Woolly Bear began using the missile in 1968, while Israel's Hermes 900 flew in 2009, completed an operational assessment in 11 years, and was awarded a production contract in 12 years.
According to open information, the drone carries electronic warfare equipment, including electronic jammers and deception devices. The SAM-7 anti-aircraft missile adopts a relatively single infrared homing guidance method.
This guidance method is susceptible to dust and is used to kill low-altitude and slow-flying targets, such as low-flying fighters and others.
The record of the shooting down of Hermes 900 that can be found on the Internet is not only Hamas in the Gaza Strip, but also Armenia. Earlier, Armenia claimed to have shot down an Israeli-made Hermes 900 reconnaissance drone imported from Azerbaijan. Big Goose and Armenia maintain a strategic partnership.
*Loading. On the 26th of last month, the Palestinian factions went to Moscow for a meeting at Big Goose's house, and they may have been guided by Big Goose in this regard. It is possible that this interception was carried out by means of multiple and multiple anti-aircraft missiles.
Earlier, Israel** and Lebanese ** reported that a vehicle was hit by a drone near Naqoura in southern Lebanon, and that among the three people killed in the attack was a "senior member of Allah."
