Largest one-time losses in recent times: new data on the Houthis attack on a military base

25

The details of yesterday’s attack carried out by the Ansar Allah armed groups (often called Hussites) come from Yemen. Recall that we are talking about a missile attack, the main purpose of which was the military personnel of the occupation forces - first of all, Saudi Arabia.

The reports say that the attack was the largest since last year’s defeat of the Saudi National Guard convoy. Then trophies in the form of only one small weapons the Hussites captured more than a thousand units.



If you believe the latest reports that come from Yemen, then as a result of the Hussite attack, more than 110 people died, more than 70 were injured, including severe ones.

The territory of the camp in Mariba was attacked, in which Saudi military instructors train draftees to participate in the anti-Husite coalition. According to Middle Eastern media, the majority of those killed were Saudi servicemen and Yemeni recruits who agreed to work with Riyadh. According to some reports, the number of recruits recruited for training by the Saudis was about 1,5 thousand people. And this is the largest one-time loss of the Saudi and Yemeni army in recent times.

It is known that in addition to missiles, representatives of the Ansar Allah group also used explosives Drones. Reports say that the attacks were carried out with the help of ATGMs, which led to the destruction of several pieces of equipment supplied from Saudi Arabia.

Yemeni President called this attack a "cowardly attack." In Saudi Arabia, they said that Iran was behind the strike.

    Hard! So I did not understand what rockets attacked the camp? If tactical - how did they coordinate the simultaneous attack by drones and anti-tank systems?

      Well, firstly, the Arabs have no coffins.
      Secondly, in the Army of the Indigenous People’s Army, the cat wept. Mostly mercenaries and those who received citizenship. Prove their loyalty to the king. Therefore, for CA there are only financial losses.

            In the 404th, the warriors are not much different from the Saudis. What distinguished themselves was only boilers and shelling of cities. In addition, you can’t drink vodka from the Arabs, so they won’t go from the non-vodka one. winked

    An easy walk from the "Arab korolkov" did not work .... maybe you bought the grenades from the wrong system? Or it is necessary to consider the problem in another way ... it's about the fact that it was not about the reel !!!

      They are stupidly trying to resolve the issue by military means. But in Yemen, this does not work. The more such attacks will be against the forces of the anti-Husite coalition, the more real it is that it will sober up and try to sit at the negotiating table. what

        It can be assumed that there are fundamental contradictions in who will control that piece of land.
        Although, external factors may be present .. if you delve deeper and deeper.

      The "Arabian kinglets" did not have an easy walk ....

      Forgotten the postulates of wise people. - "It is easier to conquer than to rule. With the help of the appropriate lever you can shake the world with one finger, but to maintain it, you need the shoulders of Hercules. Jean Jacques Rousseau. But most of all, their senior masters in the USA do it. Here they are. and decided that they can.

        For specific guys, now, it’s easier to destroy than try to conquer. Such times, such weapons are available in arsenals, some have.

    Good training ground for Iran. He is testing his new and not new rockets and technologies. And apparently very successfully.

    For the Natoshman, Russia is behind everything, for the Saudis, Iran. More Saudis, good and different in the boxes! laughing
    Although the question of an attack using anti-tank systems is interesting. They came close.

        Pavel, categorically hi
        It just looks very much like a kindergarten. Hit the ball, stumbled and fell - that’s the fault of the ball. That is, he (the Saud in this case) cheated, but blames anyone, not himself.

    Most likely BURKAN missiles. This is a Yemeni version of the Iranian SHAHAB-2 rocket. Warhead weight about 700 kg

    Yemeni resident calls this "cowardly attack"

    The diehard Saudis bravely perish in the hundreds as a result of the cowardly blows of the Howsites.
    This only adds courage to them - they can easily cut into parts any journalist who fell into their hands, who will argue the opposite.

    It reminds me of some kind of circus .. An army in which it’s possible to roll up an entire country a couple of times in a circle .. cannot solve something there .. Actually, since it’s not very interesting, it didn’t even get into the essence of the conflict. Although, even so, it is obvious how Iran’s ears stick out.
