Hezbollah [RHS]

Special Operations Forces Faction mod [SFF] that adds the Lebanese Hezbollah organisation to the game.

Note this version is dependant on RHS Escalation. If you would prefer different dependancies there is a SMA/ NIA version also available. They are not compatible with each other and cannot be enabled at the same time.

The Hezbollah are a Lebanese Shi'ia Islamist political and military group. The position of Hezbollah as an organisation is tenous, as it is both a legitimate political party and a Military organisation. This faction is based on photographs and video footage from August 13th, 2013 to December 30th, 2016. it is important to note that the organisation has since evolved into a much more conventional fighting force and modern Hezbollah look different to this but this mod is based on the EARLY period of the group, when they were more irregular.

Historical Info-

The Hezbollah organisation was founded in 1985 to oppose Israel. It has since expanded to become of the largest and most well organised factions in the Middle east, comparable and possibly even more powerful than Islamic State (ISIS) It is currently fighting against both the Western World and ISIS at the same time.

The Faction-

The Hezbollah is a large Lebanese organisation, drawing soldiers and forces from the entire Shi-ia Islamic Middle East, and they have carefully concealed their military force's size- estimates range from as few as 5 thousand to as high as over 70 thousand, greater in power than the actual Lebanese Army. The majority of Hezbollah fighters have mixed military and geurilla equipment, with AK-74 rifles and some AKM's, and they have more uniformed and issued equipment to portray their organised structure compared to other terrorist groups.
PKM's and PKP's are the primary machinegun used by the faction, and they are supported by RPG-7's. The Makarov and Makarov PM are their standard sidearms.

Specialist Elements-

The Hezbollah has a Elite military and Special Forces unit, known as 'Radwan Unit', in tribute to a Hezbollah member, who are superior fighters and have better equipment than the regular Hezbolla fighters. They are armed with modernised AK-74M's, with more modern Russian equipment and some acces to Night Vision to differentiate them from the infantry.

Supports-

They are supported by light and medium armor, such as BMP-1's and BMP-2's, T72's and ZSU-23-4 'Shilkas', as well as static weapons like ATGM's, Mortars and 50. Cal Machineguns.
