Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

Since the start back in 2014 the PLC have had Saudi backing along with Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates who provided air and ground forces, while Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and U.S. private military contractor Constellis headed several ground operations. UAE also hired mercenaries. They also enjoyed support from USA, UK and France.

While The Houthis which were often referred to flip flop wearing rag tag army with no air force, had support from Iran.

Both sides also faced IS and Al Qaeda.

So for the Houthis still to be going and attacking targets deep into Saudi territory and even into Israel is something that shouldn't be ignored. They had also defacto stopped shipping in the red sea. I would say not bad for a so called rag tag flip flop wearing army with no air force facing superior forces, technology and huge support in various forms from various nations. I take my hat off to them. And I ain't a supporter of Houthis or anyone in the middle east. I would also take my hat off to the Iranians for similar reasons I think even USA and Israel were both surprised that Iran hadn't folded yet and has kept the pressure on and kept decent capabilities. I would also point out that the Houthis although the Houthis hold less land mass than the PLC they however hold more population dense areas and more important cities and towns then the PLC, the PLC mostly hold large areas of desert with only a few key cities still under their control looking at territory map clearly shows this. If I am honest I don't think the Houthis are anywhere near collapse. As said time will tell you made the quote Houthis will collapse soon. So by that I presume you mean days, weeks, or a few months. Let's wait and see. If the Houthis still fighting this time next year I will be reminding you of your ill fate comments.

All that novel is sweet and dandy but they are now getting hammered. Throwing a missile once in a while in a conventional warfare is equal to throwing a stone that is how irrelevant it actully is in modern conventional warfare. While getting air force penetration from the back.

They are getting beaten on all fronts and hammered and There is nothing anyone can do about it not the houthis themselves or any outside force.

So I actually believe that this is true Syria sending in hardened jihadists who are wanting to go to war and Syria can get rid of these guys without having to fight they get the war they have been wanting, here’s my question if this war is going as well as people say it is why are they sending fighters into a region did Syria it is our duty to help our brother Saudi Arabia didn’t dole out some cash and my other question is why is Syria doing this while Israel is carving out more territory why aren’t Arab and Muslim states going to defend it?

Syria denies it will deploy troops to Yemen, says military cooperation with Saudis could expand​



​

 
Seems Saudi needs experienced fighters to help them. Although these jihadists are terrorists and will definitely commit seriously hideous crimes against the civilian population while in Yemen.

A source within Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council told AFP that Syria and Saudi Arabia had agreed on an initial deployment of approximately 3,000 soldiers. A separate source in Yemen’s Defense Ministry said the force would eventually exceed 10,000 troops, with additional personnel arriving in successive stages.

Hundreds of Syrian soldiers are already positioned on both sides of the Saudi-Yemeni border, according to three Yemeni military sources and a defense official.

One Yemeni military official told AFP that Syrian personnel operating inside Yemen were directing drone operations against Houthi positions.

The sources did not specify the precise locations of the deployed forces or the division of troops between the two countries.

The reported deployment follows a defense cooperation agreement signed by Syria and Saudi Arabia on November 4 during President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s visit to Riyadh, where he met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The agreement came as Saudi Arabia sought additional military assistance amid renewed fighting with the Houthis, who have launched missile and drone attacks against airports and oil facilities in the kingdom.

The reports point to a potentially significant expansion of Syria’s involvement beyond the advisory and training mission acknowledged by both countries.

Reuters reported a day earlier that dozens of Syrian military personnel had traveled to Saudi Arabia in recent weeks to train Saudi and Yemeni forces.

A senior U.S. official confirmed the presence of Syrian advisers and training teams, while a Syrian diplomat described reports of broader military deployments as premature, saying the agreement covered training, advisory support and the exchange of military expertise.

Syria’s military contribution would give Riyadh access to personnel with extensive combat experience gained during the country’s 13-year civil war. The newly reorganized Syrian military includes former rebel fighters who fought against Bashar al-Assad and Iranian-backed forces supporting his government.

Washington has already warned Damascus against becoming directly involved in the Yemen war. A senior U.S. official told Reuters that a Syrian deployment could draw the country into the wider regional conflict, potentially reversing efforts to keep Syria out of further military confrontations.

For Damascus, the intervention carries substantial military and political risks. Syrian positions inside Yemen and along the Saudi border could become targets of Houthi missile and drone attacks, exposing Syrian personnel to a conflict in which Saudi Arabia has repeatedly struggled to protect its own military and strategic infrastructure.

Houthi retaliation could also extend beyond Yemen, potentially bringing Syria into confrontation with Iran-aligned groups across the region.

In addition, a prolonged deployment would further divert manpower and resources from a military that is still undergoing restructuring, while undermining the government’s stated priorities of internal security, border protection and reconstruction.

All in all, rather than strengthening Syria’s regional position, an intervention against the Houthis could leave al-Sharaa’s government facing a costly new military commitment and expose the country to retaliation and escalation well beyond the Yemeni battlefield.

Seems Saudi getting hammered as well and needs jihadists terrorists to come to the rescue. The fact remains Saudi and PLC after 12yrs with all that support etc still can't win the war and won't be anytime soon that's if they can win currently it's not looking good maybe with the additional help from Pakistan, Egypt and 10k Syrian terrorists maybe they can make some gains. Although they must be desperate asking for jihadists to come to their aid.

If mouths could win conventional warfares yours would have won something via keyboard warrior´´ness.

But that is just not how things play dude.. Life is continuing normal in KSA and Houthi rockets almost irrelevant as they are getting shoot and incepted left and right..

Saudis aren´t fighting on the ground. It is a civil war Yemenis vs Yemenis.

You trying to push the goalpost here and there won´t really work mate.

All that matters is who wins and besides the Syrians denied entry.

The Houthis are almost done no need for foreign boots on the ground.. We aren´t far off from a houthi collapse.

You will start to come off very silly once you see towns like Mukha and Hoeidadah start falling then only will you realize where this is going and that there is no point of return.. The end of the houthi era is very near and they will become a relic of the past just like Assad, he is now only a thing of the past and remembered in books for failing or mentioned as an example or lesson just a thing of the past an afterthought..
