Houthi Movement & Yemen Conflict

"Something something not enough evidence of operational success something something"
Big guy posted a killcam on X yesterday, I wonder if this is why, or if it's just force of habit...
That's some kind of Eid thing so likely a religious gathering not a military target but sure, let's piss off off Arabs who have offensive capabilities because it went so well last time.



Also is he admitting they actually sunk our ships? Have they kept it quiet? What a clusterfuck.

The charitable interpretation is that he's talking about Houthis sinking cargo ships, but then again....

Of course, no one should trust a random Twitter account, but then again...
The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) arrived at U.S. Naval Support Activity (NSA) Souda Bay, Greece, on Feb. 16 to conduct an Emergent Repair Availability (ERAV) on the ship’s starboard quarter following a recent """collision""".

At least 74 were killed, according to Yemeni media:

CENTCOM statement:

Destruction of Houthi Controlled Ras Isa Fuel Port​

USCENTCOM
The Houthis have continued to benefit economically and militarily from countries and companies that provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. The Iran-backed Houthis use fuel to sustain their military operations, as a weapon of control, and to benefit economically from embezzling the profits from the import. This fuel should be legitimately supplied to the people of Yemen. Despite the Foreign Terrorist Designation that went into effect on 05 April, ships have continued to supply fuel via the port of Ras Isa. Profits from these illegal sales are directly funding and sustaining Houthi terrorist efforts.

Today, US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue that has funded Houthi efforts to terrorize the entire region for over 10 years. The objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Houthis, who continue to exploit and bring great pain upon their fellow countrymen. This strike was not intended to harm the people of Yemen, who rightly want to throw off the yoke of Houthi subjugation and live peacefully.

The Houthis, their Iranian masters, and those who knowingly aid and abet their terrorist actions should be put on notice that the world will not accept illicit smuggling of fuel and war material to a terrorist organization.

The amount of seethe in this thread as the USA uses a bunch of goat fuckers for target practice is delicious. Don't worry. I am sure the men who fuck goats are going to become a part of the new multi polar world any day now.
shhhh you're not supposed to point out that the mighty Houthi offensive against the Great and Little Satans in defense of the innocent wanna-be Schutzstaffel in Gaza has been reduced to claiming they shot down a Reaper every few days, and firing 1-2 missiles at Little Satan every 2 weeks or so, while they get asspounded by Super Hornets and F-35s every night
 
What Air Defenses Do The Houthis In Yemen Actually Have? (archive.ph)
A U.S. defense official told TWZ yesterday that Yemeni militants have or are suspected to have brought down six MQ-9s since March 15. Fox News reported today that U.S. officials have acknowledged the loss of another Reaper, the seventh one since the beginning of last month. Back in March, an unnamed U.S. defense official told Stars and Stripes that the Houthis had downed 12 Reapers since October 2023.

US aircraft carrier loses plane overboard while 'evading Houthi fire' (archive)
A US Navy fighter jet was lost overboard from the USS Harry S Truman after an apparent emergency manoeuvre to evade a Houthi missile, raising new concerns about the threat posed by the Yemen-based rebels. The Navy confirmed an F/A-18E Super Hornet and its towing vehicle plunged into the Red Sea on Monday after the towing crew "lost control" during operations in the hangar bay.

Both the sailor inside the Super Hornet and the sailor driving the tow tractor escaped before the aircraft went overboard. One sustained a minor injury, according to a defence official. The Navy’s statement referred to the incident as an accident during a towing operation — but analysts have suggested there may be a more serious cause. Charles Lister, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, said the loss was “alarming,” adding: “It implies that a #Houthi missile evaded detection &/or interception & got close enough to USS Truman to force an emergency evasive manoeuvre.

"A 1st, as far as public reporting goes.”

If confirmed, it would mark the first known instance of a Houthi missile penetrating US defences to such a degree that it forced a carrier strike group into evasive action.

The USS Truman has been operating in the Red Sea for months, carrying out daily airstrikes against Houthi targets. Its deployment was extended by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth earlier this year amid concerns about the rebels' growing missile and drone capabilities.

It remains unclear whether there will be an attempt to recover the $60 million Super Hornet from the sea. The incident is under investigation.

The Navy has not commented on whether a missile threat triggered the sudden movement leading to the jet's loss.

However, the incident has raised fresh questions about the effectiveness of US ship defences against increasingly sophisticated Houthi attacks.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels said a US airstrike on a prison holding African migrants killed 60 people on Monday in what could be one of the deadliest attacks in a six-week aerial campaign.
Houthi-controlled television showed graphic footage of bodies trapped under rubble and rescuers looking for survivors in Saada, a Houthi bastion in northwestern Yemen.

The same building had been struck by a Saudi-led coalition that was fighting the Houthis in 2022, killing 66 people, according to the UN at the time.
The US did not immediately comment on the Houthi claim, but on Sunday it said that it had conducted more than 800 strikes since March 15, when it began a second phase of its operation to deter the Houthis from attacking shipping in the Red Sea.

This followed another bombing campaign, which involved Britain’s Royal Air Force and other allies, last year.

The US has divulged little information on the airstrikes but says it has killed Houthi commanders and severely damaged their military infrastructure. The Houthis have continued to claim attacks on US navy ships and missile attacks on Israel, saying they will stop only when the war ends in Gaza, where Israel is battling the Houthi ally Hamas.
The Iranian-backed rebels have rebuffed US offers to end the airstrikes in return for an end to the attacks on shipping that have paralysed commercial traffic in the Red Sea.

The Houthis’ actions in support of Hamas have increased their popularity in a region that is overwhelmingly hostile to Israel’s war in Gaza, and diplomats and analysts say they see no reason to end their attacks now.
Yemeni factions opposed to the Houthis are now lobbying to launch a ground operation they argue could beat them back to their north Yemen stronghold, from where they had swept through swathes of the country before seizing the capital Sanaa in 2014.
The US has not publicly backed the plan, or offered a strategy to defeat the Houthis, Yemeni officials say. The campaign, which has already cost the US almost $1 billion, has stirred controversy after Pete Hegseth, the defence minister, sent battle plans to a chat group of American officials that had mistakenly included Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic magazine.
