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

I can't. I don't trust the neutrality of social media. I might get banned for some reason of other. If you want, message me. I send you a link to download.
