Ballistic missile impact on Saudi oil production in the east of country. Patriot failed to intercept it.

The Saudis hit Saana, BIG mistake.

Houthi leader Muhammad Al-Bukhaiti from Al-Jazeera: "The bombing of Sanaa today will not go unnoticed, and I assure you now and the whole world is witnessing that we will discipline Saudi Arabia and we will direct them painful blows."

So, the Houtis attacked all over Saudi today, including that one. Reuters also reported that diplomatic missions (embassies and consulates) urged their Saudi citizens to exercise caution after the rocket attacks in Dhahran, Dammam and Al-Khabz. Many got through all the way to the Gulf coast of Saudi.

In daylight as well, so the Patriot trails heading towards the moon can be seen. Anyone relying on Patriots has to be worried now. Bet there are US contractors manning some.

Also giving them real problems with international airlines having to divert, spreading the word around the world of aviation. Shame

They seem to be aiming for Saudi's strategic oil assets on top of their normal airfield targets. This is on the Persian Gulf tonight.

The port of Ras al-Tanura was targeted with a Zulfiqar missile and 10 UAVs. In this operation, 22 drones and ballistic missiles targeted the positions of the Saudi regime.

A mistake in my previous post. It seems they targeted an airforce air base.

Video of saudi f-15 intercepting houti drones. IMO it's not all from today but from the past and they shared it because video appeared of BM hitting their cities.

Probably propaganda operation.

However it shows drones are not immune and that much stealthy. Bad point for Saudi is that they use a million dollar missiles to destroy them.

Definitely from today, saw it a couple of weeks ago.

A reminder of those pilots chasing German V-1s over southern England in WW2.

It’s interesting, it would appear that some of the Iranian missiles aren’t the crap some have suggested. Between this and the strike against US forces, they do appear to be quite accurate. The other story is that perhaps the patriot system is not what it’s made out to be or is it more end user fault here?

During such tests they usually use missiles that need to be replaced anyway.

Missiles have an expire date like any other object.

S-300 missiles seems to be cheap too. Just look at all the videos of live launches. They use them a lot and it doesn't seem to bother them.

On the opposite live fire of european missiles are very rare.

Houthis strike even inside the KSA ..

If this doesn't bring the Saudis to the negotiating table then nothing will.

This is the Houtis with a boot, sorry flipflop, on the commercial neck of SA.

This is the message 'You destroy our oil operation centered on Marib and we will destroy yours. You have further to fall back to tribal living than we do. Feeling lucky?'

Expect a deal on Marib in days. This will cost the unrealistic and arrogant Saudis dear.

According to the spriters twitter dude it's the drones they are after.

Saudi Arabia asked Turkey for support in its war on Yemen, so Turkey agreed ... and the Turkish presence would be logistical and military support, training and providing Turkish "marches" to deter the "Houthi militia" ...

But it won't be plain sailing

I'm amazed Saudis found guys who know how to operate F-15

Don't underestimate them. They have been very well trained since they have the money and they operate them for a long time.

They released a video of hunting drones .

About the spriters guy that seems to be posting 24/7 about several hotspots worldwide:

Who is he and where does he gets his information?

Monthly pay rate is $2900 or 5000 depending on post. Around 500 terrorists primed to go.

.Agreements have been reached between Riyadh and Ankara for Turkey's limited entry to support the Saudi coalition to prevent the release of Ma'rib, and Turkey can be more free in Yemen despite the Saudi blockade in recent years.

There are reports that Biden may be looking for the US to provide more help in defending Saudi.

Three commercial airliners ETA Jeddah in 15-25 minutes are now in holding patterns.

Looks like the Houtis may have struck again.

The SaudiAF certainly hit Saana hard today. Also Turkish SAMs are on the way to defend Saudi infrastructure.
