#Hamas Al-Qassam Brigades publishes footage of apparent new 'suicide drones' launched against #Israel
While the canard design of #Hamas 'Shihab' (left) draws comparison with #Iran Ababil-2 (top right) and #Houthi Qasef-1/2 (bottom right), it is clearly a more compact unique design
Interesting that #Hamas 'Shihab' is shown using two different types of engine.
One of #Hamas 'Shihab' engine types is very similar to that found on #Houthi 'Qasef-1' believed to be a commercially available #China origin "DLE111" designed for RC aircraft dlengine.com/en/rcengine/dl…

This latest launch does not look like #NorthKorea "super large calibre" MRLS

While it has demonstrated 380 km range it required a more ballistic trajectory of 97 km in order to achieve it.

#NorthKorea latest missile launches were reportedly Kwail, South Hwanghae Province (Blue Arrow)

@NTI_WMD great historic data set indicates this to be a previously unused location notable further South than normal
