Hamas demonstrates a sophisticated attack with an advanced Chinese missile against Israeli armored vehicles in Rafah, while Western experts reveal the missile's origin.
Hamas released a video showing an attack on an Israeli armored combat vehicle (ACV) using a Chinese-made HJ-8L "Red Arrow" anti-tank guided missile. The missile is also known as the Hongjian-8. The video indicated that the missile struck the IDF's engineering vehicle, the Nammerha, during battles in Rafah.
The video shows the missile hitting the side of the ACV, followed by a fire-fighting tractor approaching the Nammerha and extinguishing the fire with sand.
The HJ-8L missile, known as the "Red Arrow," is a Chinese-made anti-tank-guided missile designed to destroy heavily armored targets. It is a second-generation missile with optical tracking and wire guidance, allowing for high accuracy in hitting targets. The missile was developed in the 1980s and is used by numerous armies worldwide.
