Ground operation of Saudi Arabian and UAE troops in Yemen

Yemen’s Foreign Minister, Riyadh Yasin, announced that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates had deployed troops into Yemen and launched a ground military operation. Before that, it must be recalled that the Saudis and representatives of the United Arab Emirates struck air strikes on Yemeni territory.

The Yemeni Interior Ministry announced that the ground operation of the "Allies" would allow "very soon to clear Yemen from the Hussites."

For reference: Hussites are called representatives of the group, which at one time created Hussein al-Husi. He is also the founder of the groups Al-Shabab al-Mumin and Ansar Allah. In the middle of 90-x was elected a deputy from one of the Yemeni districts. In 2004, al-Husi was killed. At the moment, the Hussites control several provinces of the country. In a number of other provinces of Yemen, al-Qaida dominates, against which no military operations are conducted ...

Arabic-language media report that before the start of the land operation was involved aviation "Coalitions." As a result of missile and bomb attacks, about 30 people died, most of whom were women and children.

Information Agency Sputnik on the eve reported that while the troops of Saudi Arabia and the UAE can not boast of major successes in Yemen. Moreover, the Hussites succeeded in destroying several sabotage and reconnaissance groups in several kilometers from Sanaa. Fierce fighting goes on in Yemeni province of Marib.

It should be noted that the invasion of the troops of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia in Yemen took place without any discussion of this step in the UN Security Council. At the same time, no words of criticism addressed to the governments of the UAE and the SA were heard from the rostrum of the US State Department, and no sanctions were imposed on Riyadh. Yet another proof that the West remembers international law only when it affects its interests, and not from a favorable side.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Yemen announced that the ground operation of the "allies" will allow "very soon to clear Yemen of the Hussites"

Nonsense .... the Hussites will retreat to the mountains and there they can fight for many many years.

[zeleznijdorojnik]

Not a financier, but a wangyu - within a week of this "liberation campaign" oil prices will skyrocket. Because the war, judging by the rate of losses in the "Abrams", promises to be protracted.

[GoHardLikePutin]

They won’t take off until the United States benefits, if the Americans harness themselves, their fleet rolls, and ours if they put weapons

[zeleznijdorojnik]

They crap in Afghanistan for 10 years - God forbid. When ours left Afghanistan, they left behind at least some infrastructure, roads, a more or less stable regime of Najibullah, which collapsed only when in the 94th EBN ceased to help it at least somehow. Americans came to Afghanistan when the Middle Ages were there, and left the state driven into the Stone Age.

[strannik1985]

They did not scum, but, it seems, deliberately left behind an unstable regime so that ISIS came to Afghanistan

At night, with the help of UAVs, one can quite efficiently clean mountain areas that are far from settlements.

Why at night ? Why ARE AWAY FROM THE POPULAR ITEMS?

The Saudis quite deliberately "clean up" afternoon settlements artillery fire and aerial bombardments ...

Because the bodies of the militants at night are clearly visible on the thermal imager. It is more difficult to mask from it - the contrast is stronger, there are more errors in disguise. It’s a hot place there, but at night in the mountains in February it can be about zero in the wind.
The distance from the city also affects the complexity of detection, the further - the easier, and the likelihood of error decreases, moreover, the range of possible weapons is increasing.

[dyksi]

In fact, the Husits ​​clean up without any UAVs, no thermal imagers and other things help the Saudis. At the end of the video, you can clearly see how some Saudis run, while others roll killed along the slope. Husites, by the way, rarely use optics, but they shoot very accurately and the battles are very competent.

If you answer me as it were, then I answered this:

So then I don’t understand why the Husits ​​of the UAV, but it seems like nobody talked about it.

Whatever the case ...

On September 2, 2015, the Sputnik news agency published "sensational" news that the troops of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are in Yemen and are "pushing hard" in the central province of Marib and in the south of the country.

Information about the entry of Saudi troops into Yemen was told to the agency by the fugitive Foreign Minister Riyad Yassin, who could not refrain from bravura statements. According to him, the Houthis currently control no more than 15% of the country's territory. "Soon we will celebrate a new holiday of the liberation of Yemen - liberation from the Houthis," Yassin said.

Reality, as always, is very different from statements by politicians (all the more so without levers of influence on the situation). Over the past week, the Hussites drove off the armored units of the UAE contingent and southerners from the provinces of Ibb and Damar. The troops of the Saudi coalition are located only on the southern edge of Ibb province, in the province of Damar (where they made their way over two weeks ago) they are not at all.
Saudi Arabian troops did indeed enter Yemen through the Hussite-controlled areas of the provinces of Hadramut and Al-Jawf, but were stuck in battles in the province of Marib. The battles for the administrative center of the province of Marib have been going on without much success on both sides for more than a week. An attempt to break through in the vicinity of Sana'a was unsuccessful, the enemy DRG that penetrated here were destroyed.

In the south of the country, which seems to have been taken under the control of the southerners and the allied Saudi-Emirati troops, everything is not going smoothly either. The “capture of Taiz” turned into fierce protracted battles that have continued to this day. Many quarters of the city were completely destroyed as a result of hostilities. Both sides are suffering heavy losses. Civilians perish from the fire from both sides, in many areas there is no water, basic medical care.

The city of Zinjibar was divided among themselves by local tribes and al-Qaeda militants. In the port of Aden, there are battles between supporters of an independent South Yemen and the same militants of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). A significant part of Aden is already in the hands of terrorists, which can hardly be called a success for the locals. Information is periodically received about the collusion of terrorists and the command of the Saudi coalition troops.

That’s exactly what, as it were! All of this was already there. Entered there, the 30th Egyptian corps packed with armored vehicles and other ammunition, also with our advisers. Here, take an interest in what happened to him. These guys chewing on Kenyan kat have been cut there since the Old Testament times with virtually no respite. And when you consider that the Saudi hamadrils and their accomplices really think that since he is in a modern tank, then they are all afraid and will immediately run away They, like us in Afghanistan, rest against the mountains and will not drive columns along the serpentine road, all the more so they won’t walk a caravan. Take a look and you will already find the videos from there quite interesting for yourself. Yes, actually, here they already laid out the discussion. By the way, they went there a long time ago, they just forgot to announce and did it just now. So what you stated below accurately reflects the realities there. And if you take into account that the Shiite majority lives in the most oil-bearing Saudi provinces .... Saudi fat cats will also laugh at hiccups and colic.

Oh, these computer theorists of war. Well, at least I could have watched the old, Soviet movie ... but actually ONE episode from “17 moments of spring” - the dialogue of Gritsenko in the role of a general with Tikhonov - Stirlitz - “I have been fighting with these fools for the second year, they think that war is possible to win by bombing alone " The deceased Nemtsov also spoke at the beginning of the Afghan epic of us, and in the presence of a fighter of the Tibet group - "Look how the Americans did everything in Afghanistan quickly and beautifully ..."

[dyksi]

Having drawn their troops into the interior of the country, the Saudis made a big mistake, the Houthis stretched them out and now they are systematically cutting and burning everything, the Abrams and all other armored vehicles hit them. On the mountain serpentines, the Saudis are generally beaten like babies, they are already starting to roll back from the occupied areas. It is only a matter of time before the Saudis will flee from there, they have heavy losses, especially in expensive armored vehicles.

Run is a fact. Losses of course discourage them, but not so much in technology (their dough is like toys), and among the noble representatives of clan tribes.

[rotmistr60]

started a ground military operation

Something tells me that the Saudis will be tight. This is not to bomb, you really have to fight here. And the Hussites would like to wish good luck to the military.

[kil 31]

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the invasion of the UAE and Saudi Arabia troops in Yemen occurred without any discussion of this step in the UN Security Council Probably Churkin will not miss this information, there will be a statement soon.

[marlin1203]

This is the worst-case scenario for the UAE. Yemenis are a nasty adversary, like the Afghans. The officer corps studied with them in the USSR, there are enough Soviet weapons. They are fighting on their own land. And most importantly, they consider themselves the descendants of an ancient culture, in contrast to the nomadic Arabs. Well, in general, the Arabs, especially the pampered UAE and Saudi Arabia, are still warriors. So 'smile and wave ...'

[Asadullah]

The Sputnik news agency reported on the eve that while the troops of Saudi Arabia and the UAE can not boast of major successes in Yemen.

As far as I know, they still keep their borders, gaining strength in the border territory of Yemen. There is no talk of any kind of offensive. This is a defensive element and a premonition of a protracted war.

[russmensch]

Well, now it starts ... and all over the bumps. Hussites know how to fight.

[Aleksander]

.
But is there really any discussion that gives one country the right to invade another ?!

[olimpiada15]

Very soon they will clear the country of the Hussites — such a statement attracts a war crime, the Hussites are not a couple of three gangs, but supporters of the recently expelled president, which means a significant part of the country's population.

[Vladimir 1964]

The armed forces of the Saudis and the UAE are armed with fairly modern weapons. But in terms of training, they are far from shining with high indicators, and the moral and psychological component is generally poor. So the results of this ground operation are far from straightforward.

[44 World]

Another double standards of the West ...

[Prussian]

For the Yemenis, the Saudis are wild shepherds and upstarts, they remember that the biblical princess of Sheba is their countrywoman, and in the 6th century, Yemen was the Jewish kingdom.

Yet another proof that the West remembers international law only when it affects its interests, and not from a favorable side.

In general, Russia also does not actively resent, although it will chair the UN. The fate of the Hussites has apparently been resolved, they will be torn to pieces by the Saudis and the UAE. Nobody is going to intervene for them, however, if the Saudis and their allies are sucking, it is also unlikely that anyone will cry. Such is geopolitics

[alicante11]

IMHO, we are silent because we understand that from a military point of view, "not everything is so simple" and there are chances to catch some fish in that troubled water.

[aviator1913]

IMHO, we are silent because we understand that from a military point of view, "not everything is so simple" and there are chances to catch some fish in that troubled water.

We are silent because we deeply give a shit about Yemen and the Haussites. For us, this war is interesting only for the opportunity to sell weapons to the opposing sides. An ordinary economy, no double standards are needed here. The Hausites are primarily a problem of Iran and the Saudis, the United States and Russia in this case are simply "catching a profit."

[sv68]

In my opinion, the Saudis decided to engage in masochism, otherwise how can one explain their ardent desire to get on the head ???

[Vega]

Very reminiscent of Vietnam, gentlemen have forgotten that ideas are defeated only by ideas, and nothing more.

[padded jacket]

I remember one "all-knowing" citizen here on the website for a very long time arguing that the Saudi warriors armed with modern weapons will instantly smash all the Houthis, and the Iranian fleet is simply generally "cut to pieces"
Patriotic movie of Hussites.

[alone]

After reading all the comments, I understood only one thing: you did not understand the most important thing. The Saudis and their coalition would never have climbed into Yemen. Because the Houthis were supported by Iran. But now they have climbed, moreover, openly without any "vacationers". Hence the conclusion: CA and Iran about what they were able to agree. Iran's concession is the Houthis. And where did the Saudis leave? I think Syria.

At 11 minutes it’s similar to broken Russian (look in the grass, lower, lower, etc.)
