Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[Be dazzled]

This is barbaric and insane. I cannot believe this madness. WTF is allowing this to happen if it's true? Why crush those who surrendered already to prove a point? I'm utterly ashamed and disgusted. They're humans for heaven sake.

To be fair a lot of weapons and supplies left behind by the opposition but I agree you can’t keep marching on to the next city or village or port etc unless you have the men to secure those areas the offensive will slow down they will reinforce any and all areas they took over even if the opposition is doing “tactical retreat” Saudi Air Force will bomb anything and everything they will destroy entire cities to prevent Houthis from going further

The Houthis fighters strength is they use Guerrilla tactics which even the most high tech army will struggle with just shows that it's not how much you spend on your military. One important point of Houthis strength was terrain itself. Guerrilla forces like Taliban and Houthis use difficult terrain like mountainous , tunnels, caves systems, and remote areas not just for hiding , and ambush but because terrain neutralises expensive conventional military advantages like air power , artillery etc. That’s traditional guerrilla warfare textbooks. We don’t really know , If it’s Houthis leadership themselves or an outside advisers told Houthis , fight like a conventional military to hold their gains with no air cover. That will be suicidal for Houthis against a powerful Saudi Airforce.

400k is reserved for Sanaa on the Marib frontline there is plenty of manpower for sanaa and firepower

It doesn't matter what the army is on paper. The "ghost army" is the reason the afghan army melted and is the reason the coalition has been trying to force the Yemenis to do biometric verification of their force.

When any Frontline collapses in double digits km without much fighting, the reason is always the gaps in the line.

Anyway, the Govt has called for mobilization earlier this week. Let's see what force they have mobilized. And can it perform in the mountainous terrain unlike that of bab wl mandab today

Avoid getting bogged down in tactics and analysis of Yemeni army , no one expects miracles from Yemeni government army... look at the bigger picture and the powers involved to get a whiff of the game plan .

“You may fly over a land forever; you may bomb it, atomize it, pulverize it and wipe it clean of life—but if you desire to defend it, protect it, and keep it—for a civilization—you must do this on the ground, the way the Roman legions did, by putting your young men into the mud.” T. R. Fehrenbach


The game plan is obvious. But for them to win the game, they first need to put enough boots on the ground, wether their own or the Yemenis.

How do you think Bab al-Mandab is taken? The giants cleaned the mountains like Kahboob and the mountains near omri camp.

They should go after them from mountain top to mountain top. There is a large forces in Marib who have not entered the war just yet. The offensive on Sana´a will be declared very soon
