I agree with you friend, but this is what is the narrative they are pushing.this is a load of nonsense which reads like Saudi propaganda
Yemen's Government and Army are capable of firing drones and missiles at ships in the Bab el Mandeb from deep within Yemen, they don't need to fire from the coastal area
With 1 pilot of F15 already missing and dangerous SAR operations going on ...
If this trend continues .. and even 1 to 2 more pilots potentially fall into Iran, this will quickly turn into a nightmare for Trump to manage and handle.
Based on a large number of posts and comments I have been seeing today ... In the eyes of US public , Trump's reckless and pointless war has started to now put pilots, as well as but lots of SAR personnel at risk, for no reason.
remember without Saudi and Arab coalition invading Yemen, Ansarallah had driven the former regime forces down to Aden and were closing in on themI agree with you friend, but this is what is the narrative they are pushing.
Iranian engineer promises to rebuild Karaj-Tehran bridge that was bombed and damaged by the US before it was operational
I think this is just another one of those 2025 experiments that will blow up in Saudi faces. Personally we have seen this brand of popcorn before in a different packet.remember without Saudi and Arab coalition invading Yemen, Ansarallah had driven the former regime forces down to Aden and were closing in on them
so I doubt these guys can do much against Ansarallah without massive direct assistance
and Ansarallah can fire missiles and drones towards KSA, Israel, and ships from deep within their territory, so it wouldn't make much difference anyway
As I told you, the number is far higher than 1/3. Another reason a ground game is likely coming after one last “shock and awe”….they are running out of stand off munitions.
Zionists have admitted “rationing” of Arrow-3 and trying to use David Sling in its place with much lower probability of success.
A whole THAAD battery was removed from S Korea to send to defend the Zionist entity. This shows THAAD batteries were getting low 2 weeks ago
We can be sure that they are at “critical” or “low” levels for both Arrow-3 and THAAD with what we have heard or seen so far.
These high end interceptors were only available at max 1000 for ME region and they need 2 to have 95% chance of hit even against 10 year old Emad/Ghadr missiles.
