Iranian shahed-191 drone and Quds-1 cruise missile have same engines !

Tolou-10 (PBS TJ100 copy!)

This is the reason behind the same sound ...

This could indeed be it.

I don't say it was a Shahed-191 ... But i'm sure that jet engine sound belongs to Iranian Tolou-10 turbojet !

Remember the Israeli strike in Syria just recently that was to prevent a “massive drone attack on israel”. Looks like the same thing happened to Saudi Arabia.

Smells like a Quds Force op.

Abqaiq has the world's largest oil processing plant

Drone attacks have set alight two major oil facilities run by the state-owned company Aramco in Saudi Arabia, state media say.

Footage showed a huge blaze at Abqaiq, site of Aramco's largest oil processing plant, while a second drone attack started fires in the Khurais oilfield.

The fires are now under control at both facilities, state media said.

A spokesman for the Iran-aligned Houthi group in Yemen said it had deployed 10 drones in the attacks.

The military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, told al-Masirah TV, which is owned by the Houthi movement and is based in Beirut, that further attacks could be expected in the future.

He said Saturday's attack was one of the biggest operations the Houthi forces had undertaken inside Saudi Arabia and was carried out in "co-operation with the honourable people inside the kingdom".

Saudi Arabia is said to be shutting down around half of its oil output, the Wall Street Journal reports .

Officials have not yet commented on who they think is behind the attacks.

"At 04:00 (01:00 GMT), the industrial security teams of Aramco started dealing with fires at two of its facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais as a result of... drones," the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

"The two fires have been controlled."

There have been no details on the damage but Agence France-Presse quoted interior ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki as saying there were no casualties.

Abqaiq is about 60km (37 miles) south-west of Dhahran in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, while Khurais, some 200km further south-west, has the country's second largest oilfield.

The might of the Houthi drone development program. A real miracle of engineering in mountainous terrain just like their ballistic missiles program.

No evidence of IRGC forces presence in Yemen and it seems now that the damage was done by Qods-1 cruise missile(s) possibly launched from Iraq, rather than tiny Qasef-2Ks from Yemen (which some argue cannot reach the site).

idespite the damage they could do to iran ?

In all seriousness, saudis could barely do any damage to Iran. Only their papa US could do that, saudis themselves would get utterly wrecked by Iran.

Saudi lost..
there inability to impose a no fly zone despite having the 5th largest air force on Syria is reason for the mess they are in ..
also their unfocused..instead of focusing on syria and yemen they are figting with qatar, eygpt and libya internal issues

Kuwaiti newspaper says a drone passed through Kuwaiti airspace around fair time. Now Saudi 'Al-Hadth' twitter account is posting the video of the drone sound filmed by that Kuwaiti guy.

They have destroyed large parts of Yemen over the years with their bombing campaign and killed thousands of civilians no doubt. While unfortunate, I dont feel bad for their material loss. As you sow, so shall you reap. This attack could not have been possible without support of people within the Kingdom too.
Also shows how, despite spending billions on arms, they were unable to secure their airspace and their ADA still has huge swathes of area that can be exploited by enemy forces. That is what is really surprising to me. They have still not built up the capacity to defend their strategic targets against air attacks.
