It is has become very clear.

One group has been meticulously planning the a multi tier winning strategy for years.

Another group has been selling oil and buying yachts, fighter jets and interceptors (and above all, being evil).

on the upside, if they’re only seeing up that joint command now they’re well beyond fucked

One thing I noticed looking at maps of Yemen, is that the country is incredibly sparse. Ansarallah controls the lions share of the population centers in Yemen despite its misleadingly smaller land area.

Most of rhe towns and cities are along the coast, or under (imminent) Ansarallah administration.

How Current? Because that’s the sorta thing AA would’ve sensibly said when the Saudis were an existential threat, but do they actually think the war will end without a unified Yemen?

1. No. Iran does have other drones which have seen use. The F-15 kill was apparently a Shahed kitted out with anti air missiles, and the IRGC has used drones in a surveillance role over the SoH as radar coverage has been poor. The UCAS (like your typical Reaper) usage by Iran so far has been minimal, if at all, although they do have access to mature models in that category - my guess is that they’re better used over Iraq where their return is more likely.

2. No idea. Likely very small - the nature of one way attack drones is that they’re cheap and plentiful. If it was over 90% I wouldn’t be surprised.

As for your suggestion of the weapons used on Jordan - It’s almost 100% likely to be ballistic missiles.

Jordan is too far away. Shahed 136 movez at around 160mph - less than a third the speed of a commercial airliner. At best a Shahed 238 (more expensive so lesser used) can cruise at 300mph.

The base would have been emptied well before any drones arrived, and we’d have seen reports of drone launches plus civilian footage. Instead, we saw reports of ballistic launches and the arrival of Iranian fast-moving projectiles into Jordan a few minutes later. You can check fhis mega for a selection of videos of the incoming missiles and it’s absolutely ballistic missiles.

The MSM is sloppy at reporting because it doesnt know anything about the weapons being used by Iran beyond the Shahed - which itself is a family of drones so that’s reductive in itself. They only know what the Tomahawk and Patriot missiles are because the MIC gave them marketing-friendly names that are notorious, even when both represent families of weapons with massive ranges in their capabilities - A Patriot PAC-2 is barely capable of splatting a soviet era MiG. PAC-3 MSE can intercept (with varying degrees of success) all but Oreshnik.

And yeah, I’m sure some folks think these missiles are intercepting 99% of these hyper advanced missiles, but the material conditions at the feet of your Langley Virgina briefcase hitler is: even the most expensive Iranian missiles are cheaper, more plentiful, and deadlier, than anything the US can counter with… beyond digging bunkers 200ft underground…

If my posting has any cosmic influence on the outcome of the Yemeni civil war one of you will need to dox me and place a faraday cage over my house. Simpsons style.

All this money spent on researching, developing, and implementing countless technologies and theories on how to prevent crime and in the end they’re no more effective than sending the most racist uncle on the force into a black neighbourhood suited up like Rambo

they did call that AWACS plane with the back half missing “lightly damaged” too lmao.

But even light damage on an old airframe increases the risks of some tiny bit of shrapnel turning the whole thing into a fireball. Surely they’ll need to do a teardown on every airframe before they’ll be seen making long flights again? Worth watching the movements of US airlift this month.

Fucking hell this is pathetic. They threw out the UAE, had a year to consolidate everything, and now they’re like… guess I’ll die. Did they hire the fucking SDF to run their training program?

um ackshually the a 10 WARTHOG

can fly wit only 1 wing and a packet of gum because its the strongest plane evar!!!

They tried to make a landing back in July when the blockade on Saudi began. According to pro-Saudi forces on the Island, a few fast boats attempted to land and dismount troops but were deterred by small arms fire.

YAF potentially sent a larger invasion force now that it’s clear the Saudi militias are evidently crumbling faster than expected?

The island also has an airstrip for launching drones towards YAF naval and ground forces.

I posted to the mega a few days after the last attempt: https://hexbear.net/post/9075869/7322377

With modern ballistic missiles and hypersonics there is no credible missile defense.

wrong. the one credible missile defense is 30m of granite

Interception rates are more like 10-20% but it varies on the adversary missile. a lot higher for the fateh line that’s the work horse of the Yemeni armed forces, but much lower if anything against the khorramshahr types.

the EDL shouldn’t punish the daily heil for ruining PR for their leaders

it’s like the Syrian civil war but not depressing
