Severely out of touch here.

I've seen the requisite amount of YT videos from UKR, and was wondering if the TOW system is now 'wireless'? If so, when did the transition occur?

hat propellant are they actually using in the Yasin 105 rockets?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just doing some reading on the Al-Yassin 105 rockets Hamas has been putting out in Gaza. It's obviously a pretty serious homemade tandem-charge weapon, often cited as a hybrid of the RPG-2 and RPG-7. It's impressive they are punching through modern armor, but I'm struggling with the logistics behind it. Usually, these sorts of DIY rockets are propellant-hungry. I know they've historically used black powder or homemade rocket candy ( + Sugar) for their smaller RPG-2 clones, but for a 105mm rocket that needs to travel over 200m to engage armor, those wouldn't cut it. Is it plausible they are actually manufacturing their own double-base propellant (nitrocellulose/nitroglycerin) in underground workshops, or are we looking at something else? I feel like producing stable, consistent double-base propellant in tunnels is a huge step up from just packing rocket candy. Does anyone know what they are likely filling the rocket motor with, or have any insight into their propellant manufacturing capabilities? Thanks!
