Yemeni Hussite rebels destroyed the UAE ship

Kuwait News Agency YES spreads the message that Yemeni Hussite rebels attacked a ship flying the flag of the United Arab Emirates. The ship was moving in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait and, according to the latest data, the Hussites were sunk near the port of Yemen. According to the authorities of the United Arab Emirates, the ship (catamaran) Swift delivered medicines to Aden as part of a humanitarian operation. Sources close to the Hussites publish other information.

According to these sources, a ship belonging to the United Arab Emirates supported the forces fighting against the Hussites in Yemen. On the ship, according to some, could be weapon and ammunition for anti-Hussite groups. Previously, the ship belonged to the US Navy.

The situation with the sinking of the ship "Swift" has already commented in the US State Department. According to the official representative of the US Foreign Ministry, John Kirby, the United States "is very concerned about the attacks of militants in Yemen on civilian vessels." It is strange that the Hussites fighting the official government in Yemen are called militants in the United States, and the armed groups opposing the authorities in Syria are called “moderate opposition.”

Recall that a few months ago, the UAE came out of the so-called Saudi coalition, leading the fighting in Yemen. At the same time, the authorities of the Emirates declared that they would continue the “humanitarian mission”.

I saw the video - the stealth burns well

And where can I see ??? Information what they overwhelmed him is? Is the old Soviet RCC? Hmm, the Saudis with their coalition have already lost this war, they did not need to climb into Yemen. Concrete sausage begins!

[Mahmut]

Judging by how well it detonated, there really were medications for the cores. Type nitroglycerin.

[cniza]

Yeah, and the UAE flag was like a cover.

[Byshido_dis]

It is strange that no one remembered how the Saudis bombed the Hussites for a whole month in July / August ... Here is an answer to them

[krot]

The handsome Husits! I think the anti-ship missile hails from the USSR! If this is the case, then they normally train, albeit on former, but still state ships! +

[Now we are free]

At first I thought that the news was a fake ... But then, as it turned out, it's true, it's STRANGE that this news is given so little attention by the media, and it appeared on the pages of the VO with some delay, but meanwhile it is not the Saudis 'Abrams' ATGM, not shot down from "Cobra" or "Apache" MANPADS, not overwhelmed from the same MANPADS or A-16/18 air defense systems. This is B ... sunk (most likely sunk, because in the video, as a result of the fire, there is little that is left of it) by an Iranian-made Noor (Nur) ANTICARABEL missile (although, again, is it Iranian and "Nurom"? ...) logistics vessel HSV-2 Swift of the UAE Navy. So for information, this is a ship with a displacement of 950 to 1700 tons ...
Now the "Coalition" began to eat "Nishtyaki" also at sea ...
By the way, most likely there were no medicines on board, which is why it burned so well ...

The UAE received another hint that it is time to undo from this gang led by the Saudis if they do not want to get "Vietnam" or "Afghanistan" with the arrival of these already on their territory ... To the Saudis, the Houthis generally go to their homes, cutting out their block posts directly the territory of the SA itself. + Iran showed its presence at the BD theater and significantly SHOWED (and maybe not only Iran) ...

[Hunt]

I completely agree with you, the value of this news is clearly underestimated! Not only is the cost of the ship equal to the cost of 50 Abrams, the main significance of this fact is political !!! The Hussites showed the Saudis that they were holding Faberge, and if they wanted, more than one oil tanker would not go beyond the gulf !!! De facto, the Hussites have become the region’s most serious oil player, able to dramatically raise oil prices - simply stopping trade !!! Oh, now the tantrum will begin in the exclusive and in the monarchies of the bay !!! Awareness comes just slow!

[voyaka uh]

"De facto, the Hussites have become the most serious oil player in the region, capable of sharply raising oil prices" ////

Not. If you hinted at dynamite, then in vain - no one has been doing it for a long time.

Ghader and Noor (C-802)
The most massive Iranian anti-ship missile system in recent years is definitely the Chinese anti-ship missile C-802 and its Iranian version "Nur". These missiles were installed on new and modernized Iranian frigates, corvettes, hovercraft, missile boats, and the production of anti-ship missile systems (SCRC) with them was also established.

These missiles were developed in China and adopted by the PLA in the late 1980s, under the name YJ-82, and offered for export as C-802. The main difference between the C-802 and the C-801 missiles is that instead of a solid-fuel engine, a turbojet engine was installed on them, which made it possible to increase the range to 120 km. Iran received the first C-802s from China along with missile boats purchased in the mid-1990s. Soon after that, the rearmament of Iranian large ships began on these anti-ship missiles. In the next few years, an agreement was likely reached between China and Iran to organize the assembly / production of these missiles in Iran. In the first half of the 2000s, components of the new missile, such as turbojet engines and ARGSN, were presented in Iran, after which the release of Nur missiles began in Iran.
For the coastal defense, several variants of the SCRC with Nur on the chassis of trucks were created, and during their development much attention was paid to the possibility of their camouflage.
Option with one missile, radar and a sliding awning, with which the car can quickly be disguised as a regular truck.

Characteristics (since there are discrepancies in different sources, I took the figures from the website of the organization for the export of arms at the Iranian Ministry of Defense):

Turbojet anti-ship cruise missile + launch booster

Range: 10 to 120 km
Weight: 715 kg
Warhead: semi-armor-piercing, 155 kg
Speed: 0,8-0,9M
Flight height: 20 meters (5-7 in the final phase)
Combined guidance system (autonomous inertial on the marching flight section + active radar seeker on the final flight section)



In 2011, Iran was presented and started production of a new modernized version of the Nur missile, named Gader. As announced, the range of the new missiles has increased to 200 km.

The increase in the length of the missile required the modification of the containers for these missiles, which is clearly seen in the example of new coastal anti-ship missile systems with Gader missiles.
Starting a Ghader rocket during exercises in early 2012, I again draw attention to the lying awning, with which you can maximize the car under a regular truck.

The Nur and Gader missiles are quite modern anti-ship missiles and constitute the main striking force of most large Iranian ships and boats, and the SCRC with these missiles is one of the cornerstones of the Iranian coastal defense.

In my opinion, could it be thrashed with an equal success with an ordinary rocket? Well, there are storms at sea and so on. Therefore, an ordinary rocket must be "accustomed" to the sea, but can anyone hit it from the shore? Pardon the profane

According to the UAE authorities, the Swift ship (catamaran) delivered medicine to Aden as part of a humanitarian operation. Sources close to the Hussites publish other information.

The situation with the sinking of the ship "Swift" has already been commented on in the US State Department. According to John Kirby, spokesman for the US Foreign Office, the US is "very concerned about attacks by militants in Yemen on civilian vessels."

Yeah, these constantly all around attack the humanitarian convoys and civilian objects. And themselves, no matter the shot, it’s all about terrorists and militants.

If John Kirby begins to express concern, it becomes clear what this ship was carrying and for what purpose. A good blow to the Saudis.

Well done Husits, despite the fact that exclusively planes of the so-called coalition fly in the sky of Yemen, the Yemeni Shiites manage to launch not only ballistic missiles on the territory of Saudi Arabia but also anti-ship missiles on the ships of the aggressor.
By the way, this is another "pebble" in the garden of those who argued that the Air Force of the Navy of the Ground Forces of the aggressor countries, armed with the latest weapons, mainly made in the United States, are invincible

He was on the coast + this is lumine loaded with various humanitarian cargo (the ship itself is unique in that it is made of light alloys + the shape of a trimaran = a very large deadweight for such sizes). Therefore, it is far from a fact what it is. Yemen is blocked from the sea. Shalands fishing with weapons regularly stop.

It is quite possible that the 7XX was released - the range and warhead will be enough. And it is performed without a truck - it will fit into the scow and it can be unloaded from there without difficulty in the conditions of the unequipped coast. Or even its own ground-to-ground S-75. Start in the video if anything is fake - this is footage from October 2015. Only the liner (ship) and the fire are real ones taken from the "fishing" boats.

In general, it is not an ambiguous hint - they will close the strait, if they really want to, and they will get them specifically. And this is really not like with "Somali pirates" will be.

Nothing new: any vehicle (plane, ship, it doesn't matter) owned by the United States or its allies, being on the territory of hostilities, carries EXCLUSIVELY humanitarian aid, as well as democratic values. I perfectly understand the "deep concern" of Mr. Kirby, but I will note the flaw on the part of the state. US Depot: why are there still no accusations against Russia? !!! Disorder, disorder, the accepted line of conduct must be maintained. As for the reasons for the sinking of the ship - apparently the joy of the Yemenis over the arrival of "humanitarian aid" was too stormy, perhaps they slightly went too far with the salute. Well, nothing, as the ex-president of some completely European power put it at one time:"We are not the first and not the last, do not make a tragedy out of this."

Padded jacket, you are mistaken. All Sunnis after Saddam expelled from the army

Here you are just wrong, the common assertion that in Iraq now "ruled" exclusively by the Shiites is fundamentally wrong. Yes, the leadership of the Shiites, but in the army there are also Sunnis, and this was one of the conditions of the United States when they left the country by the way.The new Iraqi army was also created and trained by the Americans,
A significant part of the army are Sunnis, especially the officer corps; under Saddam, the officers were generally Sunnis, and although the Americans, after the invasion of Iraq, committed monstrous stupidity by dismissing the defeated army (even today many officers are in the ranks of ISIS), many of them are still fighting on the side of the government. Naturally, the Sunni part of the Iraqi army is unreliable. But the Shiite police are fighting - the main striking force of the Baghdad government.
Georgy Mirsky historian, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation

However, the most important today is the problem of how to avoid direct military clashes already on the streets of Fallujah between two formally allied forces: the Sunnis, who blocked the city from the south, and the Shiites, advancing from the north. In this regard, the Americans exert powerful pressure on Baghdad, trying to convince him that the Shiites should confine themselves to a blockade of the city, and not directly participate in the storming and street battles. Of the Iraqi army grouping with a force of 20 thousand people, only 4 thousand Sunni military plans to take part in the direct assault on the city.

There are Sunnis in the Iraqi army, another thing is that they do not seek to fight against their co-religionists from ISIS, yes ..

[uhu189]

There is no need to quote Mr. Mirsky, his quote did not even refer to the 2015 year, but much earlier. The Shiite militia during the storming of Fallujah was seen mainly in the reprisals against the peaceful Sunni population, in principle it is not capable of more. The Sunni part of the army, if it remains, is a clear minority in the militia units controlled by the Iraqi government, especially now, after the rise of ISIS. Now Iraqis are mainly trained by Iran, Iranian officers oversee the command, and the United States has long switched to the Kurds ...

Quote: Toptygin

S-802 missile made in China.

Let's make a reservation: presumably C-802.
The missile was created on the basis of the Ying JM subsonic cruise missile, which NATO received the designation CSS-N-4 Sardine, and is exported under the name C-801. An obvious prototype of the S-801 was the famous French anti-ship missile "Exoset" (developed by the French company "Aerospasyal" adopted for service in 1973) with a warhead weighing 165 kg.
The YJ-82 medium-range tactical anti-ship missile (Yingji-82 Attack Eagle, export designation C-802) is an upgraded version of the YJ-81 (C-801A) anti-ship missile and is designed to equip surface ships, submarines, coastal batteries and aircraft.
Iran planned to buy a large batch of S-802 and S-801 missiles in China. Partially these purchases were made, but subsequently, under pressure from the United States, China was forced to refuse to continue further deliveries to Iran.
Currently, the missile is in service with the Navy of Algeria, Bangladezh, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, Thailand and Myanmar.
