I just sat for hours and read about China’s military expansion: from the South China Sea, to missiles, to Navy expansion, to western airbase developments, stealth jets production rates, to ground forces modernisation etc. And I must say we’re most definitely totally fucked.
There you go, that’s my analysis on the topic.

One of the more important implications for Hezbollah to learn from this latest conflict with Gaza is that Israel has the ability to locate its underground tunnel and bunker cities and destroy them, as seen with the militants Metro in Gaza. timesofisrael.com/hezbollah-has-…
Another point is “the IDF is using a new method to rapidly detect and destroy multi-barrel rocket launchers in Gaza. The innovative technique was developed in the past week of fighting by intelligence experts”- this too will have implications for Hezbollah israelradar.com/idf-new-method…
Hezbollah also use tunnels, their air defences are far less advanced than Syria's which the IAF defeats every other week and most Israeli air bases are far from Lebanon in the south of Israel and likely will take priority for air defence in the next war.

Video reportedly from Al-Wehda street or nearby last night. It appears bunker busters were used. They may have been targeting tunnels under the roads.
Screen shot from the video from what looks like a fighter jet targeting pod view on the street area. It appears you can see a bunker buster make entry on the middle street and on the street on the left a row of white dots can be seen from what could be bunker buster entry.
The video clip of the strike which may show bunker buster penetration

🔰Brief introduction to some of the resources in use by Unit 9900 in the IDF and the data collection methods used by Israel and analysed by this unit in order to highlight underground infrastructure and insurgent centres of gravity embedded in both rural and urban areas.
Drones- Chariot of Fire: This is a hyperspectral imaging system in use by IDF MALE drones such as the Eitan. Hyperspectral imaging is collected via sensing through narrow spectral bands and the data is used in the classification or identification of properties of objects. ImageImage
Hyperspectral imaging is used in MASINT. The identification of properties of certain materials allows for methods such as geologic mineral mapping, which can assist with the tracking of underground activity such as soil and dirt spoil from bunker and rocket launcher construction. Image

✅Quick thread on Israel’s air defence systems in the next war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israel currently operates:

🚀10 batteries of Iron Dome
🚀2 batteries of David’s Sling
🚀6 batteries of Patriot PAC-2
🚀2 batteries of Arrow 2
🚀1 battery of Arrow 3
Most of Hezbollah’s 150,000 rocket and missile arsenal consists of small and medium range rockets. Mainly Katyushas: 107mm, 122mm, & Falaq-1/2, Khaibar-1, as well as Fajr-3 and Fajr-5’s. Therefore Iron Dome will likely be doing most of the heavy lifting during the next conflict.
The issue is approx 4,000 rockets and missiles will be falling in Israel each day of the war (at least at the beginning until the IAF can destroy many launch sites and storage sites). Most of these rockets will fall in the range of Iron Dome.
