Intelligence sources reveal that for the past three weeks, consignments of North Korean Bulsae-2- anti-tank missile have been flowing in from Libya through Sinai and the new tunnels into the hands of Hamas’ armed wing in the Gaza Strip.
Bulsae-2 is North Korea’s reverse-engineered version of the old Soviet anti-tank missile called 9K111 Fagot, which uses a so-called wired semi-automatic command to line of sight system. The guidance box mounted on the launcher tracks the missile in flight via an infrared sensor and correct its trajectory by sending signals through a wire reeled out behind it.
A laser-guided system used in anti-tank missiles has a different approach. The launcher is equipped with a laser designator, which aims a laser beam at the target, a system widely adopted in the 1980s. The missile has a rear-facing sensor that picks up the beam and makes the missile ride along it. Laser-guided anti-tank missiles have greater range compared to wire-guided ones. Fagot’s range is 2.5km, compared to 5.5km for the 9M133 Kornet, a modern laser-guided anti-tank missile developed by Russia. They are also not vulnerable to radio jamming, unlike missiles that use radio instead of wires.
Hamas already possessed this laser-guided missile in the 2014 conflict, but in very small numbers. To date, the terrorist group is estimated to have procured 1,500 Bulsae-2 missiles. This would be enough in the event of another war with Israel to lay down a dense laser-guided anti-tank screen against IDF tanks and armored personnel carriers.
Hamas personnel have been sighted training in multiple launches of the North Korean anti-tank weapons. Although the Egyptian air force conducts strikes against the Hamas underground passages passing through Rafah, the traffic carries on without pause. Hamas has sunk four or five tunnels as decoys for the one that is in use.

So that’s why Obama gave them $200 million on the morning of January 20th.
hmmm.....was THIS the deal that Hillary and Obama were trying to protect at Benghazi?
Do they send it back when it fails to Hatch?
Uh oh.
Fagot missiles.
Paging Milo Yiannopoulos, pick up the pink courtesy telephone ....
Thanks to McCain, Graham and Rubio for backing the removal of Gaddafy.
I don’t doubt it.
Yet another consequence of Obama and Clinton’s unnecessary, unexplained, and asinine assassination of Gadaffi and complete destruction of Libya.
This despicable little bastard gave the palastinians millions of American taxpayer money before leaving office, wonder if there is a way of tracing this to arms sales and hanging his a## from a lampost. He armed our enemy much like he did all over the mideast
Those things will make some expensive shrapnel to mix with the red mist of the barbarian goatf**kin’ holders of same as the B-2s are winging out of sight.
Hoping that the Israeli’s Trophy system is as good as the Arena system and the Kontakt-5 reactive armor used by the Russian T-90s
Gaza will be leveled and the earth salted.
Hamas is about to be eradicated from the face of the earth.
