🌲 - 🇱🇧🇮🇱 Hezbollah Weapons Employment Analysis

Over the past ~2 weeks of reported engagements, Hezbollah’s most frequently observed weapon system is FPV fiber-optic kamikaze drones (~58%). These systems are used as guided strike platforms controlled via fiber-optic links, reducing susceptibility to electronic jamming. They are typically armed with PG-7 / PG-7L HEAT warheads or improvised explosive payloads. In the recorded strikes, they were used against armored vehicles (Merkava, Namer, M113), engineering vehicles (D9 bulldozers), and fixed military infrastructure such as surveillance systems, communications equipment, and Iron Dome launchers.

The second most used category (~22%) consists of RPG-derived warheads employed as modular payloads on FPV drones. These include PG-7, PG-7L, and PG-7VL (93mm-class penetration) variants, along with locally designated “Nafez” types. In this dataset, these warheads are not primarily used in traditional RPG launch roles but are integrated into drone payload systems to provide shaped-charge effects against armored targets. Their use is consistent across multiple drone types, including standard FPV and fiber-optic guided variants.

The remaining weapon systems include Kornet/Dehlavieh anti-tank guided missiles (~9%), used for precision strikes on armored vehicles and fortified structures; unguided rockets (~7%) such as 122mm Grad and 107mm Fajr-1 systems, used for area saturation fire; mortars (~3%) in 81mm and 120mm calibers for short-range indirect fire; and loitering or longer-range UAV systems (~0.5–1%) including Shahed-101 and Ababil-based variants. The recorded usage pattern shows a distribution across precision-guided systems, indirect fire weapons, and drone-based strike platforms.
