Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[F-22Raptor]

It's funny seeing the lemmings all follow the narrative that a single Houthi missile got through THAAD and Arow3 defenses so Houthi missile stronk and totally missing the forest through the trees... or is it missing the trees through the jungle? Fk it. What I'm trying to say is this Houthi missile getting through just gave Israel the excuse to blame Iran and so they are. Now the talk among Israel is to hit back at Iran. Isreal hasn't been happy with Orange man negotiating with Iran and has been looking for an excuse to strike Iran and with this Missile hitting Israel now they do.

Just saying.

There’s no such thing as 100% air defense all the time. This is not a movie or video game. It’s why USN air defense performance to date has been remarkable.

It was a single ballistic missile that hit grass. THAAD has been successful at downing Houthi ballistic missiles in recent weeks. They’ll take today’s data and improve.

As expected, people are overreacting to this just like they did when Serbia downed an F-117.

Yemen hit one of Israel's most sensitive sites relatively accurately with one missile fired from 2000km away, successfully evading multiple THAAD and Arrow interceptors.

This might be the longest range of a ballistic missile strike in combat in history ?

Seems all defence systems in Israel and surrounding countries are fully exhausted now. This slow beed war is getting too expensive.

Talk about exaggeration, the missile hit nothing but grass. One thing we’ve learned about Houthi and Iranian ballistic missiles are how inaccurate they are and pack little punch.

I know there's no such thing as 100% but in my opinion this is not the case. I really think this missile was allowed to get through and now the war drums have started banging and Iran is in the crosshairs. Wtf can Israel do to Houthis that the US hasn't been doing for over a month now? As long as Iran keeps funding Houthis the Houthis are going to be able to launch a missile every other day but funding the Houthis is not good enough for Israel to strike Iran but an Iranian missile fired by Houthis hitting Israel is.

Look maybe you're right, THAAD-Arow3 had a shtty day that day, but my spidey senses are telling me otherwise.

well 4 Yemen missiles landed in Israel with direct hits in the last 24 hours

that's not like its a one of is it

just shows that if Arabs nations gave all their weapons to Yemen , Yemen can say close Ben Gurion for good

lets accept it from recent experience- Israel has serious shortcomings in doing long range strikes, despite having ballistic missiles like the Jerichos that hypothetically can strike long range targets, and this is a serious flaw in Israel's military power, and explains why Israel chooses to use proxies like Kurds and ISIS against regional foes because it barely has the ability to strike adversaries that are 1500 miles away or more- Iran and Houthis are prime examples.

Israel's jerichos obviously only work on paper (and probably its nuclear weapons too) because we haven't seen them work in real world scenarios in decades now.

Even Israel's strike against Iran was from Iraq, and IAF plans barely flew 500km or so out from Israel, so this explains why Israel has barely touched the houthis despite houthis firing missiles and drones at it weekly for months now, but i guess that's what US is there for, to be Israel's proxy dummy that will spend all resources (owned and borrowed), face high risks (and lower readiness levels in other military theaters) and still lose, because its not fighting for genuine self-interest.

Israel is a paper military tiger, and if you disagree, you are still using PDF logic or/and live in dream land.

Talk about being studied in a history book jotted down as some super villain. Worst the humanity has to offer... the absolute underdogs standing up for what is right... KNOWING that the super villain murders civilians for fun... the orange clown showing massacre of civilians on his own feed as some kind of achievement. The Houthi are scrapping bottom of the barrel technology and super thumpers going in knots. It is so sad and grim and only saving grace for humanity are those who still stand up for what is right putting their lives on line knowing the super villain will wreck even the rubble for a bonner.

ILLUSTRATION OF HOW PDF LOGIC WORKS:

Situation: The best US and Israeli air defense systems detect missile launches from Yemen but can only intercept 50% successfully (at best, it seems).

Conclusion from situation: US patriots in Ukraine do a good job of intercepting advanced Russian missiles like Iskanders and Kinzhals.

pssych!!!! LOOOOL.

The problem with Iran is that they deliberately don't want to kill any Israelis because it would escalate the conflict and bring in the US.

Iran gives plenty of warning and strikes empty buildings to 'send a message'.

Thats not a problem, that's a strategy Iran uses- escalate to the appropriate level, but the reality is CLEAR-in an all out war, which is possible under Trump's tenure, Iran will hit Israelis and Americans within 1500miles from it LEFT AND RIGHT, and everyone, except mental zyonists and neo-colonialists accept that-their choice is restraint or accept human and infrastructure damage that will take them years to recover from.

US, Israel and EU,because of homo and feminist loving neoliberal ideologies, do not possess the required manpower to fight their adversaries on the ground today, which means Iran and AoR still retain the overall military advantage, even if the cost to realize it may be high.

1. The closer you are to the area, the shorter the reaction time by the defender.

2. Not everything is perfect, except 1.

For 2, I can easily think up of at least 5 items inside the defense for the attacker to have a hit, everything from technical to human cause(s).

Wait, please tell me this is a joke? Because if its true, then US has essentially decided to become like Ukraine- receive massive military budgets, but beg for donations for military items that are so affordable from the military budget. smh.

While I agree with some parts of your post, I don't like the gratuitous attack on LGBTQ and women. Groups that have been victimized by conservative white males are natural allies for us so why attack them?

Off-topic: I will never understand why some men feel the need to attack LGBTQ or women to validate their masculinity. I get all the validation I need from women when I am in the gym or doing calisthenics; I don't need to attack anyone to feel like a man. Just do muscle ups, high pull ups and front lever in the gym and watch the women watch you.

These people are humans just like us and deserve all the rights, including respect. If we want acceptance and equality from others, we should set the example ourselves.

For the record, I am a conservative white male. However, I don't feel the need to attack LGBTQ+++ or women to validate my masculinity. I've a few coworkers how are gay and would attest to that.

What I will not agree to is demands that they somehow should be treated special or differently from the rest of us; as if somehow they are better than the rest of us.

If you wish to follow a path in life that is fine but don't get angry with me if I don't go along with it.

Early 90s, when I was working at Motorola, a number of us were in a diversity training class. One of the fellows in the class admitted to being gay. Another fellow was visibly upset and started to make derogatory comments. I spoke up and asked the vocal one why the other person's admission even mattered. Here in the workplace, when we're working together, all I care about is that we're making progress on the mission and that we're on time. Outside of work, I could care less what goes on in someone's private life. I will begin to care however if it starts to affect work life.

If it doesn't bother me, it shouldn't bother anyone else in this room.
