Thousands of launches per day: What does Hezbollah's arsenal look like today?

Hezbollah’s weaponry has seen significant developments in its arsenal of rockets, UAVs, and precision missiles, the Alma Research and Education Center stated in its report on Monday.

According to updated estimates, Hezbollah now possesses a few thousand precision missiles and rockets out of a total stockpile of 75,000. This precision arsenal is not restricted to the Fateh-110 missiles but includes various types of rockets undergoing precision enhancement processes.

The number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Hezbollah's possession has also increased. In 2021, the estimate was around 2,000 UAVs. The current estimate suggests approximately 2,500 UAVs, though questions remain as to whether this may be an underestimate, the Alma Center’s report noted.


Hezbollah’s close connections to Iran remain critical, as well, as the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center (CERS) plays a crucial role in developing arms. The facility researches and manufactures advanced precision weapons for Hezbollah in cooperation with Iran.
