Those goat herders can actually shoot down an f15.
Locally developed anti aircraft..I highly doubt, that must be an Iranian or Chinese or Russian thing.

The Houthis also fired a drone at Mecca which was intercepted.

I'm told they took over an island where they are a very easy target.

**By the way buy them some military uniform ,they stick out like sore thumbs without camouflage**

My problem with Saudi is that they thought all these their crazy brothers will not come for them one day.....

Instead of building strong military like Israel they are enjoying Life

😂😂😂😂 You guys will grab at anything just to feel happy.

US provided fighter jets which the effectiveness heavily relies on the ability of the pilot to use it. What's the US business here? As a matter of fact, the US gains cause Saudi will have to buy another one from the US.

It looks like the Saudis don't have the technical know how and experience like the Israelites on making use of those fighter jets thats why they are begging for usa and Israel help

Dogalmighty17:
The Houthis have created their own SAM. This changes everything. This shows that they aren't just a rag tag group but are an organisation with some serious capabilities. They have developed their own ballistic missiles as well and have occasionally targeted Israel with it.

What does this mean? This means that Saudi Arabia cannot bomb the Houthis recklessly anymore without expecting a Houthi response. Developing and fielding an active surface to air missile is a level of complexity that few nations have been able to achieve and yet the Houthis have done it. It is only a matter of time before the develop ballistic missiles with precise targeting abilities.

The Saudis don't have F-35 fighter jets so only Israel and the US can take on the Houthis presently and Israel really doesn't want that smoke now and the US secretly sent officials to meet with Houthi leadership last night. So the US too isn't that keen on attacking the Houthis. Besides the last time the US bombed them, it did little to change the situation until the US got bored and left.

Joker! 🤣🤣 Israel is literally baiting Iran everyday just so it can rejoin the war. The Houthis begged Israel and USA not to join the way, who born then??

Slippers wearing militia downing sophisticated F-15 fighter jets worth around $150 million with surface-to-air missiles, has to be one of the most ridiculously amusing news updates I've seen this week😂😭.

U.S military equipments are mostly overpriced metal junk, walahi!

My dearest brother,

[b]They are not only wearing slippers they are also putting on wrappers around their waist ontop of the peer of slippers too.

This is so embarrassing.

I once wrote here that Nigerian Bandits militia can invade and capture Saudi Arabia within 72 hours if they invade there.

The Saudis just have expensive over priced toys for nothing.

May God help them

Which pilots have been flying the numerous F-15s Iran has shot down around the middle east in the last four months?

"Numerous F-15s" when it's only one. Being on the losing side must suck. I don't know how it feels, never been on one.

Iran and the Houtis have tested Israel and know it's ever war ready, it's still a mirage how Iran attacking Kuwait, Bahrain and other gulf state for hosting USA soldiers and facilities excluding Israel that's hosting thousands of American soldiers and equipments, is that not JuJu. For Houtis they know they ain't match to Israel.

If Iran attacks Israel, will Israel tell US to stop attacking Iran? Of course not. You don't understand Iran's strategy. Iran attacks those countries because it makes them apply pressure on US to stop attacking Iran.

Why will a sane and progressive minded human wish that hopeless Iran thugs like Houthis will keep destroying a very organized and developing country like Saudi?

Do you know that Saudi Aramco was the most profitable company in the whole world last year by net? So you prefer their facilities being damaged?

People like you are the ones hailing Boko and herdsmen to keep destroying Nigeria in the name of religion.

When Saudi was killing Yemeni n blockading them also using them to practice neo colonialism?

I want Iran to actually destroy these countries infrastructure in real time.. Fall all those sky scrapers

Which Saudi Aramco was the most profitable company in 2025?

I have never supported terrorism and will never support terrorism!

If a nation is holding her grounds against imperialist and colonialist, I will support such nation.

The books of history taught me a lot and was lucky to have not been brainwashed by their imported religions.

The US has a stake in Saudi Aramco and if the US can target Irans oil installations l, then Iran has a right to reciprocate.

If you have TV and internet as you said, all you needed is a Google search before typing out of ignorance here.
