Erster operativer Einsatz des israelischen 120-mm-Iron Sting-Mörsers:

Israeli Armed Forces unveil first operational use of Iron Sting 120mm mortar system

On October 22, 2023, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released a video showing the first operational use of their Iron Sting system on Sunday. The footage shows a 120mm mortar neutralizing an enemy rocket launcher. [...]

The Iron Sting system utilizes 120mm shells, a caliber that offers a balance between range and impact power. It integrates guidance systems, including laser guidance and a Global Positioning System (GPS). Laser guidance is particularly useful for rapidly moving targets or when extreme accuracy is needed, while GPS is effective for firing on fixed or pre-identified targets. The combination of the two allows for operational flexibility in various combat scenarios. [...]

In a previous 2021 press release, Elbit Systems highlighted the precision of the Iron Sting, stating that it "transforms ground warfare by providing battalions with accurate, efficient, and organic firepower." The system underwent successful tests and was officially completed in March of the same year.
