FPV against houthis. It looks like the earlier Jerry rigged Ukrainian ones. Tye first FPVs coil break mid flight. Hence the second attack on the same bunker.

I think you don't acknowledge the history of KSA itself. One only needs to recall the era of Faisal to realise there is far more nuance to their political positioning.Bro Saudis will never leave the Usa led world order alliance, they invest trillions in to Usa and Europe, buy football clubs, host events, buy advance weaponary (currently F35s). Isn't that obvious on who's side they are but yes all nations despite being allies fear each other aswell, so Saudia is concerned about Israeli expansions so they made the Makkah pact JUST incase Usa backtracks, that's all. The Houthis have every right to attack Saudis if the Saudis are bombing them and funding and training terrorists to fight the Houthis.
Come on bro, disagreements happen with all allies. European nations have kick off all the time but this doesn't mean they dont belong to the same axis. Saudia is part of the Usa axis. The only way for this to change is if Usa somehow collapses like the Soviet union. Anyways like I mentioned Saudia will never leave Usa led world alliance.I think you don't acknowledge the history of KSA itself.

Their leaders haven't always been lackies of US hegemony. The current crop were nurtured a certain way and the next crop can easily swing a different way.
Of course now that the Houthis have decided to upset the apple cart completely, KSA will in the short term slowly default back to the US-Isr sphere of influence. The Mecca pact was never intended to bring destruction to the middle east or harm Yemen, which is why Pakistan and Turkiye are applying different leverages from the military option to try to quell this crisis. The khat chewers just don't understand the game at play and instead only see themselves as movie stars who will ride into glorious battle on Toyotas. In truth, they have become Israel's pawns.
Reports of Second F15 of Al saud Air force appeared few hours ago, now video circulating.. not confirmed
Exactly.Can someone verify it , see whether it's an AI or not or if it was from other wars.
I have read your previous posts on this thread, I agree with them.Come on bro, disagreements happen with all allies.

I don't agree with all that. The main forces tearing apart the Mideast for the last 100 years are Zionism and its merger with a very aggressive American foreign policy. Saudi and Iran are a sideshow.I have read your previous posts on this thread, I agree with them.
This forum helped me better understand the events in the Middle East and beyond, and especially the state of society.
I am gradually coming to realize that, in addition to colonial and post colonial consequences and failed utopian socialist and other projects ... two states Saudi Arabia and Iran along with their ideologies are having a largely destructive effect on Islamic societies.
The world is moving forward toward development and prosperity, while these ideologies drag us back to the Stone Age. Are there no rational people who will halt this downward spiral?
I agree with you, I was not precise in my previous post. I am aware of those external factors, but isn't it wise and far sighted not to further worsen our situation with religious (Sunni / Shia) and other differences?I don't agree with that. The main forces tearing apart the Mideast for the last 100 years are Zionism and its merger with a very aggressive American foreign policy. Saudi and Iran are a sideshow.
Everyone wants peace, growth and stability but how is that possible when your region is under constant attack, directly and indirectly and your neighbors are the attackers main facilitators ?
We have the Israelis who are insecure about their state and can only sleep at night if they have utterly crushed or compromised everyone else, and you have the Americans who have a thirst for the region's oil and want the earnings from the oil to also be spent exclusively in America. Anyone who doesn't agree with that gets non-stop punches to the face.

You are right. But such leadership is not there.I agree with you, I was not precise in my previous post. I am aware of those external factors, but isn't it wise and far sighted not to further worsen our situation with religious (Sunni / Shia) and other differences?
more than 90% of Egyptians are with Iran and Houthis , even a lot of our government personals are with them but some are with GCC due to loans and so on , however, Sisi is afraid to send any soldiers there because it's gonna be the last straw to break his back , he already ruined the economy and fabric of our society , he doesn't want to do any foolish thing anymore .. imagine if an egyptian soldier gets killed or becomes a hostage in yemen and they make a video about it!! it will be crazy here.
plus our focus now is on Ethiopia and israel , we can't lose soldiers or equipments in Yemen and waste our efforts there.
I just hope our relations with China gets better, we need to give them a big ass base on the Mediterranean.
