Ansar Allah footage shows Saudi Arabian F-15 shot down over Saada

no
not at all.

Developing a missile requires extremely precise engineering.

Not only that, there must have been a radar, which detected the plane,
passed on target information to missile
after which, the missile was sent on it's way.
And all this needs to be done in real time.

This requires very careful consideration.

The missile is semi active radar homing. If they see or hear the plane, they can quickly turn on the radar to illuminate the plane for the short duration the missile is fired and homes in on the reflected radio waves. The whole attack is a few seconds, too short for the plane to react.

no F-15 has ever been shot down by air or ground fire.

Maybe, but one was written off for sure.

I think this will remain the case forever until it is retired. the plume might be the self destruct of missile and rest carefully attached unrelated video but you never know. a wreckage of the downed f-15 with correct marking will settle the debate (not the one that crashed in Libya)
everything is possible in the advanced video editing age


I agree this seems like a BS propaganda video.

Yes .. however there is talk of damaged F-15 returning back to base.

So, now I am utterly confused.

I agree for the name sake Turks should ask their "urdu" speaking friends to help "retake" Hijaz whhich was taken away by the conspiring Brits during WW1.

Also mention the Wahabis with whom these Turks are cooperating nowadays.

scary stuff.
what chance any plane will have?

I dont blame the KSA pilots but watered down and degraded planes sold by the crooked USA to Saudis that should have had better countermeasures

I think instead of bombing cities the KSAF should concentrate on taking out these SAM sites first

big cluster F

our tears, our cheers and our condemnations depend on which side we support. so if I am condemning Asad butchery in Syria against his own people then I will be looking away when gruesome images of mutilated and charred corpses of Yemini civilians are shown that have fallen victim to KSA areal bombardment. sadly i cant condemn both as it wont get seal of approval from one side that is cheering the bombing of Asad or KSA

Wait a minute ..
How the hell did the Houthis learn to retrofit and then use this missile ...
The F is going on here !

If it's KSA F-15 then it was highly unprofessional because you clean the area from air defense first even then with advance sensors pilot not just have evaded it but should have located the battery and destroyed it.

The radars and SAM sites are hidden in caves for ambush attacks on planes.

F-15s RWR, MAWS would have ring alarm and counter measures should have been taken along with rapid evasive actions.

Clearance of area = Intelligence ( lack of )

Bad intelligence is bad luck !

The radars are only turned on when people on the ground see or hear a plane. The radars are only turned on a few seconds to guide the missiles to the planes. The missiles home in on radio waves reflected off planes. The radars are not used for finding planes. The radars are hidden in caves. Impossible to do SEAD, which assumes radars are used for finding planes.
