I'm still surprised out of all the military footage that came out of this war, the most interesting was the Trophy APS failing to function multiple times against generation old RPGs.

I mean, Hamas and Hezbollah published their strategy for defeating the APS via standoff distance, speed, and spamming based off of their experience engaging Merkavas.

But there's several videos where the system didn't even activate.

Hamas literally walked up to tanks to place explosive charges without issue.

The IDF is an absolute mess.

What? It says they fired an RPG.

they did. But there're at least 2 footages showing them literally 0 distance from tanks, placing the ammos. There's another crazy footage of a guy climbing up an embankment and shot at a tank within maybe like less than 5m head-on.

The IDF will fire on their own to keep them from being hostages, it’s called the Hannibal protocol.

Can you start reposting it to a combat footage sub please

When I first got the news I thought something was strange.
Then I realized what that was: in this "war" / Genocide we have not been used to reading about dead soldiers, just civilians and children.
Scary stuff.

Seems like they're having some of that.

According to the IDF’s report, 13 soldiers were killed by friendly fire after being mistaken for enemy combatants, one from a stray bullet and another six in various accidents, such as being run over by armored vehicles.

(Not from the posted incident btw)

There was a video of a Hamas militant planting an RPG round on a tank and sliding back into a tunnel. Then there was also the israeli point of view of the same event of them watching the tank from atop a building ~250 metres away.

The first thing the IDF watchers did after the explosion was unload their entire magazines onto the tank and it's vicinity.

People are still convinced that the IDF only lost 219 people in total? Give me a break.

While I’m sure their casualties are undercounted (as are everyone’s), I find it very easy to believe that the real numbers are still low; dropping guided munitions on children doesn’t expose your troops to much risk
