It seems that Hezbollah is only using rockets and an occasional drone as of late. It only takes a tube and squib battery for the solid fuel rocket but a guided missile is launched from a sophistocated platform that is connected to the missile by an umbilical cable. The launcher does a lot of jobs before a missile can be fired. There is a self test, a missile test, some method of programming in coordinates, usually by GPS data. Then the servo motors have to spin up the servos to a certain speed and lock them in before the firing sequence can be completed.

What I'm wondering is whether Hezbollah could only afford a couple of launchers and a lot of missiles since a launcher is the most expensive to buy and maintain. Also, it's reusable while missiles are one shot vehicles.
I think that they would have used more by now if it was possible.

Don't worry, Iran or Syria will resupply them.

I think hezbollah has used about 20% of their rockets, i'm not sure how many have been lost to israeli strikes, but many more are handily available to them and are on supply for months. Just how does a force of less than 10000 handle all of this? I suppose the limited region would make it easier to do so, but that's still over 10000 rockets to worry about.

This is what they will use.

Hey, that's top secret stuff you've got there. MK-1, Rev.B Iranian Battle Asses with M3 Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle with raised letter tires.

Battle Assess....LOL.... that's perfect.

I remember seeing some pics of 10th Mtn. soldiers in a-stan riding some furry "Tactical Mountainous Terrain Vehicles." I think it was on the AKO splash page.

Would you care to provide us with a source for this information, or is this just your opinion? Please see Forum rule #6.

i got it off the bbc world news, but since everything everyone says is an estimate anyway, i don't think there's any precise info i can give you.

doesn't matter, there was a report today that had the Iranians flying more ammo to Hezbola
