“rebels” in that they are the ruling government just not the one the empire wants?
Also based Yemen. Basically only ones out there taking actual military action of any sort to try and stop a fucking genocide.
“The group’s missile forces have successfully tested a missile that is capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 8 and runs on solid fuel,” a military official close to the Houthis said, according to the RIA report. The Houthis “intend to begin manufacturing it for use during attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, as well as against targets in Israel.”
BRO WHAT.
Ballistic missiles fly on a trajectory in which anti-missile systems like the U.S.-made Patriot can anticipate their path and intercept them. The more irregular the missile’s flight path, such as a hypersonic missile with the ability to change directions, the more difficult it becomes to intercept.
Huh. Iron Dome gonna be like “Paper Dome” if this ends up happening.
Shoot it at the US carrier in the red sea, just as a test hehe
IDK, seems fearmongering to me. Ansar allah and the yemeni people are very capable but, is their industrial production developed enough? Do they even produce their own firearms?
I imagine they would be imported.
Last year Iran presented hypersonic missile Fattah-1, so it’s likely that. Article mentions it. Interesting is fact that US seems to confirm Iran really have hypersonic missiles since they suddenly again want to talk.
I mean there’s a possibility they spin this up into an invasion justification with experts telling us how they could strike Europe in less than 45 minutes again.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim to have a new, hypersonic missile in their arsenal, Russia’s state media reported Thursday, potentially raising the stakes in their ongoing attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and surrounding waterways against the backdrop of Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
However, the Houthis have for weeks hinted about “surprises” they plan for the battles at sea to counter the United States and its allies, which have so far been able to down any missile or bomb-carrying drone that comes near their warships in Mideast waters.
Meanwhile, Iran and the U.S. reportedly held indirect talks in Oman, the first in months amid their long-simmering tensions over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program and attacks by its proxies.
Adding a new weapon increases that cachet and puts more pressure on Israel after a cease-fire deal failed to take hold in Gaza before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
A new suspected Houthi attack targeted a ship in the Gulf of Aden on Thursday, but missed the vessel and caused no damage, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said.
Fabian Hinz, a missile expert and research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said he wouldn’t be surprised if Iran transferred a new, hypersonic weapon to the Houthis.
