Yemeni Conflict: News #3

Of course take with caution. But Houthis have hit F-15's and had proof. Maybe it was just an F-15 again

You can be sure this was all bullshit.

BTW. Don't call it a coalition.

Team Biden is dead meat by now.

FFS! Have Modi phone the s.o.a.b. Sunak!

The most hilarious thing in this whole madness, are the ships broadcasting in the open that they are Chinese or Russian, or that they have nothing to do with the US or Israel to avoid being targeted.

The Israelis have no qualms about using deception and would happily broadcast that they are not what they are... several Israeli hit squads trying to murder people have used New Zealand passports to gain entry to countries their own passports or friendly passports would not give them access to.

We hold the Houthis and their Iranian sponsors responsible for attacks on international shipping

I have seen no evidence Iran has anything to do with this, but the US and UK seem determined to get them involved in all this... and the funny thing is that if they get their wish it will make things much much worse for themselves.

Illegal under international law. Waiting for the EU to declare sanctions against the aggressors..

Yes, where is this international rules based order they often speak of...

Thank you. Now Yemen knows whose ships to attac.

Almost like they have had their fun but don't want to take their punishment on their own... so they are shopping their mates to spread the love...

FFS! Have Modi phone the s.o.a.b. Sunak!

You can bet no western media will ask about rules based international order over this... which is what BRICS is all about.

Can we see some nice Russian AShM and air defence there ? no better change than this .

I was wondering the same. Wheee russian and chinese missiles ?

US armed both ukraine and Taiwan. Why aren't they returning the favor and arm the houti with antiship missiles ?

Would be nice to sink at least that UK ship since they are the one to push for the war in ukraine just to pretend to be a huge power.

It is unlikely that the Russians would just hand over high tech weapons to just anyone because it suits their interests today... that is the sort of thing the Americans did which of course led to the 1990s where Muj fighters had modern Stinger missiles at their disposal because after the Soviets left they didn't hand those missiles back to the CIA...

The training and systems needed to make such things work would probably make them less optimal, but I am sure if they have enough UK made sea surface drones with nice big bombs on them that they could lend some to different groups to sail out and hit a few targets... they could probably improve the design to make them more effective and less likely to blow up if shot on their way to a target...

They could probably even just sell to them some old Torpedoes that could be lowered into the water and launched towards targets... those western ships are noisy enough to hunt down in passive mode.

Even just ballistic rockets like Smerch or Iranian equivalents would be problematic that close to shore for most ships... a simple passive radar homing head that guides on the radar frequencies used on British and US ships wouldn't be hard to put together and a volley of 40 or 50 rockets at once would not be a trivial problem to deal with for any ship.
