The Yemeni army post-2014 have come a really long way. They are taking the initiative on many frontlines.
Obviously clear that they have received training from KSA and increased funding. We saw how deeply embedded KSA is in Yemen in January 2026 when the entire Southern separatists (heavily founded and supported by the UAE) were removed almost overnight.
Or the intel that we have on the Houthi terrorist cult - enabling the many recent succesfull attacks on their leadership and infrastructure.
And let us not forget who controls all the oil, gas and money, sea ports etc. De facto KSA which is why the Houthis are crying more and more about their numerous blockades that they are under.
As usual the Houthi terrorist cult cannot do anything to KSA other than target oil and gas installations via drones and missiles and disruption of shipping. Otherwise they are no threat and never were.
On the other hand KSA could turn the Houthi terrorist cult controlled Northwestern Yemen into another Stalingrad or Gaza in terms of destruction but for various obvious reasons - KSA refrains from doing that. Not out of some ridiculous notions of weakness.
