[Feline Supremacist]

Who's being used as target practice?
Twenty six MQ-Reaper drones and two F-18E USN fighters.

I am sure the men who fuck goats...

Two accidents across ~3 years are the F-18s. They're still on production so not like losing a Mig-31.....

The Reapers are attritable drones with zero countermeasures that cannot break 220mph unless they're in a terminal dive and the wings snap off.

Meanwhile the Houthis main PoL terminal has been reduced to ashes as has their only port.

Houthis: The Yemeni Enemy!

Supposedly Dutch OSINT retard 'VleckieHond' identified a random quarry surrounded by houses as a 'Houthi underground base'. On the sole basis of this subhuman's Twitter posting, the JewSA bombed the houses and murdered eight people. The retard claims to have donated $62.5 per dead civilian as an apology.

Give me clocks and all, but the fact that the Houthis were able to make an aircraft carrier take evasive maneuvers with a normal missile does prove that hypersonic missiles are most likely effective against them since they can't dodge those.

It doesn't help the Houthis all that much, but near peer states that can make hypersonic missiles learned they have the ability to kill or disable aircraft carriers, which in chess terms, is being able to check a queen.

It proves nothing of the sort. It's typical operating procedure to change course when a missile is incoming, regardless of how confident you are in your air defences, on the principle that it's better to take multiple, complementary defensive actions rather than just blindly rely on one.

Hypersonics are still a meme.

There was a Houthi missile that came within 200 meters of the Eisenhower back in June. It may have been a miss on the part of the Houthis rather than a shoot-down by the Americans.

By some accounts, an ASBM or other missile arrived at a very shallow trajectory, with minimal warning, without a chance for interception, and splashing down around 200 meters from the Eisenhower. Details gathered from interviews with Yemen-focused U.S. and U.K. intelligence officers for this study. Names of interviewees, and dates and places of interviews withheld at interviewees’ request. The Houthis propagandized the carrier’s departure. See “America’s withdrawal from the Red Sea confirms the fall of the myth of Washington’s great power,” Sabant – Saba Agency, May 1, 2024.

There was an earlier near miss on a destroyer;

In addition to a strongly rumored near-miss on the USS Eisenhower in June 2024, the USS Gravelly also appears to have had a close call, with an enemy missile eluding two layers of defense and only being intercepted by the ship’s last-line-of-defense Close-In Weapons System. Geoff Ziezulewicz, “A Houthi missile got within a nautical mile of USS Gravely on Tuesday,” Navy Times, February 1, 2024.

Yemen sanctions the US and the Gulf States starting on the 17th of this May.

Fleets of companies will be prohibited from crossing the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean. Companies violating the ban will be placed on the sanctions list for perpetrators of aggression against Yemen.



Seems more than one country can play the sanctions game lol

If they don't issue an Ofcom-tier "no u" missive I will be extremely disappoint.

The US military losing 3 jets, two dozen drones and a helicopter after a years long campaign is clearly earth shattering. Truly, it has never been more over.

Unironically it actually is, thanks to neocon boomers who think Reagan is President and the USSR still exists.

The Houthis are a literal who military fighting the best one in the world. Beating the point spread is revealing weaknesses in US Naval doctrine that need to be addressed.

What weaknesses are those? Keep in mind the two lost F-18's were due to flight deck mistakes and not the Houthis.

Flight deck mistakes caused by evasive maneuvers, which begs the question why the carrier group needed to be that close to shore when the whole premise of an aircraft carrier is to launch medium to long range bombers to hit Houthi homes.

There are no carrier bourne bombers its basically all super hornets

because the round trip combat range of a fully loaded super hornet or f35 is about 1400 miles. you can fly more sorties with shorter ranges, and dicking around with max range introduces unnecessary risks to the mission (like very expensive planes running out of fuel or having to do very expensive and also risky mid-air refueling). with the geography, you can come straight in from the red sea and hit western yemen whereas launching from the gulf of aden requires more time flying over (houthi-controlled) land, increasing the number of chances anti-air has to shoot at your planes. an aircraft carrier and its escorts have much more powerful defense systems than an airplane so the risk of having missiles launched at them and awkshoolly hitting them is considered less than the risk of having missiles launched at airplanes and awkshoolly hitting them

Congrats on confusing range with combat radius.

You do realize losing only two jets with no fatalities after a years long campaign is unbelievably acceptable mission to loss ratio? You are acting like this in any way changed anything and the jets were not replaced within a week.
