They are not backward people. They have a lot of our milling and industrial machining tools from WWI and WW2

Milling and machine tools from the 1940s and before are hopelessly outdated and inaccurate. When they get CNC, program writers and operators smart enough to use and edit them, I might get a little concerned.

Have you looked at what they do or just made a comment?
Everything has it’s pros and cons. Our centralized govt and manufacturing has a lot of cons. Big govt and big business go hand in hand.
It works when it works. When a civilization declines, who does the rebuilding?
Hitler thought his high tech was the way to go. We won with the above machinery. It was accurate enough. At some point more accuracy doesn’t do you any good. The law of diminishing returns. Most of our consumption is this old technology.
But the point of this thread is they are smart people and have resources in their war and are using what they have very effectively. We need to understand they are manufacturing their weapons from very common items.
In my last job, we supplied rebuild parts for those old machines. The critical part for precision were the bearings. The old milling machines were designed to be rebuilt many times, so the bearings determined the precision. Since the quality of bearings has gotten a lot better, those old machines are much more precise than when they were new. Some custom rifle barrel companies use machines that were sold as surplus after WWI. Those barrels are supremely accurate.
Now if you are talking about NASA level of quality I agree with you, but I don't think that Hamas is building satellites.
We won 2 world wars with those machines
For the types of attacks they are carrying out they are clearly still working fine for the application.
