Hezbollah will survive because it's an ideology, in order to kill it you need to kill every one of its supporters, but it will be left powerless, Just like Lebanon.
Lebanon has no electricity - that means Lebanon has no pumps, no fuel, no water. I want Hezbollah to try and fight under those conditions.
Russians are a joke, we had a 70 years history of humiliating their equipment. EW works very well, except the frontline of Ukraine is so big neither side can utilize it effectively. This isn't the case in Lebanon.
Israel's slowed advance was largely due to ATGMs hitting Israel's armor, this problem was negated with the Trophy. So next war Israel's advance would be quicker, what's there to not understand?
No weapon is tested in combat situation, before it's tested in combat situation. You'll see just how effective that system really is, just like the world was amazed by the Iron Dome.
There's no need for anything to be 100 percent fool proof. The point of defense systems is to minimize casualties. For example, the Trophy system has a lot more use than just being able to defend tanks. It changes the whole tactical planning and usecase of tanks. A Merkava without Trophy wouldn't dare to rush into the enemy, whereas Merkavas equipped with Trophy would. APCs with no APS wouldn't drive in ATGM threatened roads.
You are right, we in Israel don't see 2006 as a successful war. But that's because we expect a swift, decisive complete victory with minimal casualties. Anything less than that is a failure in our eyes. But if we are not looking from our eyes, the facts remain: Hezbollah took a massive blow, couldn't stop Israel's invasion to South Lebanon and was only saved by the fact Israel's leadership listened to the international community's peace demands, was overwhelmingly tactically disadvantaged in every encounter with an Israeli force, had many times the casualties of Israel, crashed the Lebanese economy ever since and led Israel to overhaul its entire military to successfully fight against Hezbollah.
Hezbollah is a guerilla force in 2006, it didn't have massive easily spotted armor formations. In 2006 optics and intelligence sharing were lacking. Today even tiny drones offer high resolution recording that allows drones and aircraft to effectively destroy enemies. Look at Turkey in Syria, they're making Hezbollah and others a joke with their TB2 drones. Why do you think that's possible? Because of high definition thermal optics and precise munitions. Same thing will happen next war.
Israel had an overwhelming advantage against conventional militaries, not against guerilla forces. Now Israel is trained and equipped to fight against guerilla forces, and you'll see it soon enough.
