Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

The Saudis do have a well serous equipped land Army around 400k and they do defend the borders. . And are well organised.
Training and Discipline
  • Saudi Royal Guard:
    • Operates as an elite, high-readiness unit tasked directly with protecting the King, Crown Prince, and visiting dignitaries.
    • Recruits undergo rigorous physical fitness, specialized close-protection, counter-assault, and tactical training, often with tight vetting for personal and tribal loyalty.
    • Maintains separate command channels and independent communication networks to ensure absolute security and reliability. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Saudi Arabian Army (Regular Land Forces):
    • Faces chronic structural issues across conventional units, including inconsistent physical fitness standards, motivation gaps, and an ineffectual non-commissioned officer (NCO) corps.
    • Officer promotions and leadership posts have historically suffered from nepotism or political balancing rather than pure merit, impacting operational cohesion.
    • While select special operations or frontline units perform adequately, the general force has faced widespread criticism for poor field discipline, logistics management, and maintenance
Sometimes my words aren’t always clear so I put this in the AI to make clearer just because you have shiny weapons doesn’t make you the better fighting force or the most trusted by leadership of that country
 
No air defence will cover the entire country mate. Look at tiny country Israel dome system failed. Countering a wave of missiles and drones is nigh on impossible for Saudi Air defence systems to stop. Then Riyadh would have decided what part country infrastructure or military bases would their limited Air Defence Forces will protect. Saudi is a vast country near impossible to defend against this threat.
Agree but to be fair that argument was said about the same about Irans inferior air defenses(at least on paper) but I would have thought 12 years Saudi Arabia would have had their air defenses situated near Houthi controlled borders to better defend against an attack I mean seriously 70 billion dollars I believe that makes them too 5 defense budget in the world unless I’m mistaken they should have taken half that defense spending and put it into building up their own military industry with the help of turkey and Pakistan instead of overpriced weapons and bribes to those ceo of those companies or Jared

KSA has the best Air defense systems in the world according to military experts period. But no air defense system is perfect, Humanity have not reached that level.. The Saudis will down like 95% of all BMs but like 5% will always go thru.

BOTH Israel and Ukraine copied Saudi bulk system because it has the most test and most successful against Missiles and UAV.

Besides Iran had nothing absolutely nothing nada.
 
Your love for the houthis have been evident and no need to claim you against conflict or anything else..

You chose the houthi no worries then you gotta die on that hill no need to change mind or etc etc be firm and be yourself
How’s it love I honestly find this war to be crazy Muslims and Arabs killing each other I have repeatedly said that but do you wish for me to live in denial to say one group is better equipped and more motivated than the other side and do you wish for me to live in denial when actual legitimate news agencies say the southern opposition is still losing territory while Houthis are gaining territory.
Trust me unless the southern front collapses altogether like they did in Afghanistan Houthis won’t and can’t keep extending their gains they can’t take territory without leaving men behind and resources as well their numbers will think and supplies will dwindle that’s war you can’t just keep taking territory without securing said territory.
Stop being silly not everything is a fight because it doesn’t fit your narrative I called out the user who put an erroneous source that Houthis captured Pakistanis I have consistently called out both sides to put real confirmed news

Sorry yes I don’t like MBS I find the guy sleazy and disgusting but I actually have a reason it’s because he directed Saudi agents to kill an innocent journalist because he didn’t like what he posted about him….i have nothing against average Saudi citizen

Saudi forces are entirely irrelevant in this conflict. They have never set foot in Yemen aside from air strikes.

The fighting entity on the ground is the Houthis vs The Maribbians, Tribes of Jawf, the Shabwa tribes and the Giant brigade forces from Aden and Abyan.

Houthis are overconfident thinking they won´t get uprooted in this conflict because they have seen the Ukraine war and the Gaza war.

First of all in the Ukraine war it is against two great foes whereas in the Gaza war the Israelis have good airstrikes but lack the conventional forces who are willing to engage to the death which is why it didn´t really move anywhere and could not defeat hamas in a very small area.

But do not make that same mistake against the opponents of the Houthis, they are willing to die on the battlefield willingly plus they match the houthis in manpower which makes the fight per to per.

In few surprising military manouvers the fight could be in Sanaa and Saada and it may not be apparent yet to anyone now but this is the shape the war will take.

Also the Houthis will fire whatever they can now because later they won´t have the means as the war will enter into deep conventional attrition warfare and the fatigue will set in.

This is a patient and consistent opponent the houthis have plus thy have the will to clear the country.. That is the most dangerous enemy you can fight who is self-assured of victory with stabile morale, with plenty of resources. Not fighting on khat or fake momentum as booster.

The Houthis will fight until their morale moves the other direction which it will do every soon. Everybody has a breaking point and the Houthis is very near. This desparate missiles shows that they are about to reach breaking point and remember this is nothing new but from the 101 Houthi playbook they did the same 4 years ago with Dubai and Abu Dhabi to secure ceasefire and want ceasefire right now but the pressure and intensity of the fight will go on at this pace.

Consistency, Steadfastness and Durablity wins wars..

if it happens it happens but if it happens 5 years from now or 6 month don’t crow and holler say you told everyone that you predicted the Houthis would withdrawal like I said Houthis are fierce fighters give them that at least and reports are still saying Saudi airstrikes haven’t turned the tide yet and the southern front is still losing territory less twitter more real news and no propaganda news from either side if I can’t confirm it I rarely ever reply to videos or unconfirmed sources other than to say 💩 looks like AI

Where are Houthis exactly seizing territories? They have been cleaned out from Bab-Al mandab and the Perim Islands just recently and trapped in Taiz meatgrinder.. Every tactical move they made was bad especially the Taiz move and may turn out later in the future when we are looking back at this war years later that this single move is what ended the houthis..

I will definitely call you out when the Houthis experience a dramatic collapse the like of Assad´s SAA/Tiger forces or Ghani´s ANA suffered
