The Israeli military used a secret drone-launched guided missile dubbed “Mikholit” during its last military operation against Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip, photos released by the Palestinian New Press agency on May 21 revealed.
The photos show two nearly-intact Mikholit missiles which were found by civil workers while removing war debris in Gaza.

The small diameter guided missile which was designed to be launched from drones is one of Israel’s best kept military secrets. The specifications of the missiles are unknown but most open sources suggest that it is linked to the Israeli Nimrod missile, which is guided with semi-active laser.
Mikholit was spotted before in Gaza, Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula as well as in Lebanon, where a Hermes 450 drone carrying at least four such missiles crashed on March 31 of 2018.

Palestinian sources reported many Israeli drone strikes on the Gaza Strip during the last battle, which started on May 10 and ended on the morning of May 21.
The photos released by New Press also shows the remains of three US-made GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs (SDBs). The use of this precision-guided glide bomb was documented during the war. The bomb has a range of 110 km.

Another US-made guided bomb that was spotted in New Press photos was the GBU-54, a Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) enhanced with a DSU-38/B semi-active laser seeker.

Despite Israel’s extensive used of precision-guided munitions, at least 66 children were killed as a result of the strikes on the Gaza Strip. On top of that, the Israeli military failed to stop rocket fire from the enclave.
Just as expected. A lot of these did not explode and they will be given off to Iran for study. Thanks “Israel” for giving us your expensive rocket and bomb designs for free.
All of this could have been avoided if the “Israelis” took a more diplomatic approach and just withdrawn from the West Bank and Golan Heights. But nooo “muh holy land needs to only be 4 D JOOOS”.
And Iran will share the info with China who will create improved copies within a month.
If China gets it, then there is a good chance that Russia will too.
It’s a big loss for Western rockets and bombs. “Israel” should have avoided this military escalation altogether. “Israel” should have resorted to dialogue.
No worry.. China is super high tech and has no need for such junk. 😁😆😄
Of course. But they gather a lot of intelligence from they way the enemy makes his weapons … The better to subvert the enemy’s weapons.
Why would China copy unexploded junk from a desertic semi developed place? 😁😆😄
To understand how they can be subverted.
Are you talking about America? That’s where those weapons were built.
There are not much that china even russia can learn from that UXO, they already had technology similiar to that. But producing it in large quantity like usa that able to produce and throw expensive weapon like nothing are their weakness, so russian and china mostly concentrate how to produce good cheap guided weapon rather than copy a technology they already had. Iran might be more benefitting to got their hand on it rather russian or chinese
I am sure that Iran would also share the Jewmissile data with Russia as well. Bravo to the Palestinian Resistance that has suffered for far too long from zionist tyranny.
Israel is An Apartheid state PLEASE NOTE zionist entity HAS BEEN IMPLANTED IN MIDDLE EAST BY DESIGN BY BRITAIN/FRANCE/USA/GERMANY/RUSSIA AND EU TO CONTINUE THE CHRISTIAN CRUSADE ON MUSLIM NATION IN SUBTLE WAY TO DESTABILIZE,DESTROY MUSLIM NATIONS RETARD THEIR SOCIO ECONOMIC PROGRESS AND LOOT THEIR RESOURCES VIA SALES OF JUNK WEAPONS zionist entity HAS MOVING GOAL POST THIS IS BY DESIGN AND SUPPORTED BY BRITAIN,FRANCE,USA,GERMANY,RUSSIA AND EU OUTCOME OF THIS IS THAT WHILST BRITAIN, FRANCE, GERMANY USA WERE FOCUSING ON DESTROYING MUSLIM NATION CHINA HAS PROGRESSED TO LEVEL THAT IS NOW CHALLENGING WESTERN HEGEMONY OUTCOME IS THAT THE WEST IS LOOSING THE VERY ALLIES THEY NEED TO CONFRONT THIS CHALLENGE
The US is Zion blood-line, it is a win for Iran block – 1. Hama and other Palestinian groups are pro-Arabs they may work with Iran but they don’t really trust Iran. 2. Zion had to give up – A. a lot of Zion believe BiBi started this “war” to stay in power, a very old PR move by BiBi BTW. B. Zion are 8millions and they are breaking apart within, that is a GOLD moment for Iran to break Zion apart even more. BiBi HAVE to stay in power and control Zion. 3.Fun fact, Iran took even more inte from Plastic Dome – fuking Zion well done morons. 4. Iran block did nothing – and they grow even more support from Arabs – days ago SA talk to Iran (oh I wonder what they talked about – not attacking each other most likely). 5. Zion bots – each country have their own Inte on Plastic Dome and they know how bad that shit is. After all, it was based on the US’s patriot.
So Zion who is the winner here? You clowns that couldn’t even end small group such as Hama in Gaza which is control by you backward apes? From food, water to power…Gaza is blockade by Wahhabi and Zion, and you apes couldn’t do anything…we are not talking about two countries fighting each other, we are talking about a country which EU and US feed billions each year that is fighting a small group that is cut off from the world (Hamas). Do you monkeys think? no really. How do you apes hold your heads up? What do you think the Iran block can do to you monekys? huh?
Before that Hindu pig – that is trying to be American and Zion say shit like Zion have nuclear weapons – so does Pakistan and N-Korea which Iran work with a lot. Also, Iran is much bigger than Zion they can get hit by nuclear weapons, unlike Zion. Plus, the US did run a program “war game” where they used nuclear bombs – didn’t end up well and the world would fuk any country that uses nuclear bombs.
Also, I like how some people describe Zion. “These pale-faced racist parasites and their puny lackeys must be burnt out of Our Region. These anti-human anti-civilization filth should be wiped off the face of the Earth, let alone having ‘interests’ in Our Region to perpetuate their miserable leeching non-existence. K1-N” LMFAO.
A testing ground for these so more improvements can be made before use in a proper war. Hamas need to create an airforce of drones equipped with these types of bombs so they can do some real damage to Israel instead of firing sky rockets in a hope and miss effort. Use them to take out their Iron Dome to allow unfettered rocket attacks..
The airforce you speak of is being created in Iran and being shipped into Gaza via the Mediterranean and Egypt.
PRECISION MISSILES THAT HIT ALL THE WRONG TARGETS.
THE STRONGEST ARMY THAT CANNOT DEFEAT THE WEAKEST PEASANTS.
GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE THAT SERVE SATAN’S DESIRES.
The Zionists are cowards and all hype and bluster. They are diaper scared of ground combat which entails casualties and that is why they bomb civilians indiscriminately, however that causes the next generation of resistance fighters. The Zionist child killers are doomed as demographics and regional power shifts are not in their favor as even western media is now questioning.
First time Israel’s Gaza operation has proven to be the most useless – in both tactical and operational sense.
Jews are now a global laughing stock, stupid gandoo cowards lol
Russia and Iran already have US small dia bombs and JDAMs to study from fighting in Syria. Russia also got a couple of intact AGM-158 JASSM missiles from the 2018 attack on Syria.
What’s also interesting is that the USAF has decided to retire the F-22 2 decades early not long after a Russian SU-35 pilot published an IRST view of an F-22 from above and behind. They say they are too expensive to repaint every week but when has that stopped the USAF.
I saw this too couple days ago with the F-22 Raptor, do u think they will go for the f-36 and f-15ex or their mega hyped generation 6th fighter ?
