I guess one of the most surprising things of all these pictures is the “streets/roads”, or lack there of. The amount of all the soft beach like sand in amidst all the big buildings, is just not what i expected. And several of the urban settings have that deep beach sand.

They look more like propaganda props to me than the real thing. The rear ends are welded shut and there is nothing that looks like a engine or similar.

Those look like some sort of protective cover for the nozzle. There is some sort of wire/cable coming out of the center of the cover. Perhaps a lead for the firing apparatus? If it was a welded on cover, there would be no need for such a cable wire.

Some in loading have the same sort of cover.

Here is what is puzzling me. One can see examples similar to the photo below, where the rear end has a wire sticking out and the “cover” is “inwards” the tube.

In this photo, shared previously here, the rear end is welded flush to the tube end

And this is a closeup from an AlJazeera video

and this is a tweet showing the propellant and the rear end

If what the IDF found was the real thing the rear of the missile should be different

If these are mock-ups, why do they bother to take them back home ? :thinking:

I had the same thought in seeing these shots from the past several week, no concrete?
