"Hezbolla" uses rockets on the basis of Soviet UAV: ​​what is known about DR-3 rocket (video)

This modification of the Tu-143 drone has greatly expanded his combat capabilities. With firing range up to 200 km, the rocket is able to achieve targets in Israel, in particular in areas north of Tel Aviv. According to Israeli sources, Hezbollah planned a mass attack using more than 150 such missiles and other unmanned devices. UAV Tu-143 Flight is a plane about 14 meters long and with a wingspan of 14. 5 meters.

It is able to fly up to 1500 meters at a speed of 1000 km/h and was initially intended for reconnaissance missions. However, the conversion in DR-3 allowed the use of this drone as a means of a long-range impact. Tu-143 modifications include the installation of advanced navigation and control systems, which turns it into an effective rocket wing. Hezbollah was believed to receive these drones through Bashar Assad regime, which was provided with such systems during the Soviet Union.

The possible help of Russia in the modernization of the Tu-143 raises questions about the external support of the combat capabilities of Hezbolla. The appearance of the DR-3 winged rocket in the Hezbolla arsenal poses significant threats to Israeli air defense systems. The possibility of mass launch of several rockets simultaneously increases the load on these systems, requiring them a quick and effective response.

Viewers emphasize that the asymmetric nature of the war, which is used by Hezbolla, makes it possible to strike at Israel's strategic objects with minimal losses for their strength, which casts doubt on the effectiveness of available safety measures. As a result, the Israeli military is forced to adapt and improve their defense technologies to cope with new challenges.
