Hezbollah's arsenal revealed

Bùi Đức |

Military experts reveal information about the various types of heavy weapons and the number of soldiers Hezbollah has.

According to CNN, Hezbollah is in possession of about 200,000 missile warheads. The process of stockpiling missiles began in 2006.

Experts say there are a total of 14 different missile models in Hezbollah’s arsenal. Missile models with a range of more than 100km include Khaibar-1, Zelzal-1, Zelzal-2, Fateh-110, Scud-B/C/D.

The Scud-B/C/D alone has a range of up to 500km, allowing Hezbollah to penetrate Israel's Iron Dome defense system.

Hezbollah also has a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), all supplied by Iran, according to CNN. The Shahed-129 is the largest UAV model with an operating range of up to 2,000km.

In addition, Hezbollah's defense line is equipped with mobile anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missile systems that can intercept Israeli airstrikes.

Hezbollah's leader claims the group has more than 100,000 fighters, but experts estimate that Hezbollah has only about 50,000 troops, including 30,000 active troops and 20,000 reserve troops.

The information was compiled by CNN from various organizations including the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Armament Research Service (ARES).

Experts say that Hezbollah is the most powerful non-state armed group in the world but is still far inferior to Israel's military potential. Therefore, Hezbollah always limits direct confrontation with Israel to avoid heavy damage to Lebanon.

Since re-engaging with Israel on the Lebanese border last October, Hezbollah has lost more than 500 fighters and senior commanders. In addition, the cross-border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has claimed many civilian lives and disrupted the lives of some 70,000 people.
