Saudi Arabia is culpable for a sub par military, their main asset is oil money which many depend on.This is truly a very "interesting" perspective.
1. Saudi Arabia established a no-fly zone over another country's airspace. What kind of action is this? Of course, if we set aside current international rules and adopt the "might makes right" mentality of the law of the jungle, then such a move is feasible. However, the prerequisite is that you must consistently maintain that stance.
2. When an Iranian flight intrudes into a no-fly zone, the standard responses employed by other nations in similar situations include issuing radio warnings, scrambling fighter jets to intercept and drive the aircraft away, or even shooting it down directly...
Did we see Saudi Arabia take any direct action against this flight? No.
The Iranian flight landed safely and picked up Houthi personnel. Saudi Arabia remained silent once again, taking no direct action.
When the Iranian flight returned with the Houthi personnel, it once again violated the no-fly zone. Saudi Arabia remained silent, taking no direct action.
But this time, they sent their air force to bomb the airfield...
This is a coward's game!
The Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces couldn't defeat this guerrilla force, and even when Saudi Arabia intervened directly, it still couldn't win. Now, they have actually invoked the MDA agreement to rope in their allies—all to face an opponent that is nothing more than a guerrilla force wearing flip-flops...
* I do not support or oppose either side; I am simply analyzing issues of military strategy.
Right now overnight they cannot transform so have shared the burden, that is what it is.
The houthis are kaat addicted bandits, I know there is blame both sides but that will lead to arguments, better to focus on regional stability
