Hamas went so far as to use a Chinese-made Red Arrow-8L anti-tank missile to destroy Israel's "Tigress" armored vehicle in one fell swoop. This is really not a trivial matter, and we have to explore it carefully.
Let's talk about this Red Arrow-8L first, this is an old Chinese weapon. Although it is the product of several years, looking at its performance on the battlefield, it is really eye-catching. In service since the 80s, it was originally designed to counter the threat of heavy armor from the north. Later, because of its large size and heavy weight, it was not very popular in the international market, but this time in the hands of Hamas, it unexpectedly played a big role.
No, Hamas took out the armored vehicle with just one shot in the video. Although there is only one shot, it is enough to give Israel a headache. This shows that old things can still come in handy when they are in need. Just like the old Li who repairs bicycles at the gate of our community, although he is old, his craftsmanship is first-class.
But it also makes people think about whether Hamas is also telling us not to underestimate the old technology in any corner, maybe it will shine one day. As for why the Red Arrow-8L fell into the hands of Hamas, there may be a story behind this. Although such weapons are bought and sold internationally, they are usually done with caution, after all, national security and regional stability are at stake.
Look at Israel again, although this time it lost an armored vehicle, but it was also a wake-up call for them. After all, in this complex international situation, every small player may have mastered incredible abilities.
Finally, as spectators, we must also look at this matter rationally. Hamas's destruction of an armored vehicle with an old missile is both a technological victory and a strategic warning. Everyone should not underestimate outdated technology, and sometimes, they can make a huge difference when it matters most. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this? Do you think this is the aftermath of the old missile, or the wit of Hamas? You may wish to leave a message in the comment area and let's talk about it together.
