Drones hit 2 Saudi Aramco oil facilities, cause fires

[Clutch]

Saudis have a huge vulnerability exposed. If a ragtag medieval terror group can bypass their air defences ... What use is all the $Billions they have wasted on military procurement ????


That's why... It is not just what equipment you have folks .. its really the men you have behind that equipment which matters most.

Lesson for India... Be warned... You have spent $Billions like the Saudis.. but Pakistan has the real warrior men behind our equipment... Even the Saudis envy our men of steel.

Saudis have revealed their evil designs to all.. Only their Israeli allies can solve their problems now

Only way for the house of Saud to fall is by destroying their oil consumption.. Sadly I would want this to happen as the Muslim world had suffered to much from wahabism..a gift of terror to the ummah

UAE Made an agreement with the Ansarallah via Iran, Qatar is exposing KSA through media and now Saudi Arabia is stuck in the Yemen quagmire alone. There is no winning this war. KSA is better off using this money on creating peace and rebuilding Yemen.

The balance of power is not what it was 10 years ago. Today, inexpensive missiles and drones could cause billions of dollars in damages and stall entire nations. Israel, KSA, UAE are very vulnerable.

Ansarallah and their allies are a strong force in Yemen, they have large support and there is no taking them out.

They should have gave ansarallah what they wanted in the beginning. But instead they wanted to block their access to the sea, insist on building wahabi schools in their areas and allow alqaeda to carry out routine attacks and marginalize them. Now there is no way but to accept and agreement which grants Ansarallah more than what they initially asked for.

Pressuring the US to abandon the Iran deal has only made things worse. The last thing you want is to fight someone who has nothing to loose.

There is no way but to make peace because the countries in the region aren’t going anywhere. They will be neighbours for as long as humans exists.

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".

Who can those be?

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

No this has been done by people inside the country.

this is a good warning for Israel as well...

if a bunch of barefoot destitute people can bypass multi-billion dollar American systems that only look good in controlled environments and advertising... think of what Hezbollah will do to you if you miscalculate.

Drones, precision missiles, cruise missiles, sophisticated tunnels dug deep into their territory..... the Zionist population will definitely feel the next war. lets hope American wunder weapons perform better then they did for you in 91/Saudis in this war.

Having been to UAE refineries a few times, these are well protected facilities with layered security as a national asset.

Layered security is Ok but the big question is who is in control of it ? Arabs ?

This drone attack is actually giving more credibility to the narrative that militaries of arab countries are just good on paper. I wonder , where is that arab guy from KSA who , just yesterday , was all praises about saudi military defence capabilities

The Saudi Prince that bragged that KSA could destroy Iran in "8 minutes"?

This is IRGC in Iraq or from the Persian Gulf. Iran is still hurting from oil sanctions and said they will prevent others from exporting oil if they are prevented from it too. And it seems these explosive drones have been effective for them.

This is the most significant attack on an oil facility in Saudi that there has been. Obviously Saudi Arabia needs AA to protect its oil facilities. And they need diplomatic action of some sort to implicate Iran or Iraqi militias operating in Iraq. They are afraid to do so on a public level , so far. Houthis are just a coverup.



There's a video of the drones flying over the Iraqi/Saudi border near Kuwait.



MBS reign has been bad for Saudi Arabia compared to Abdullah or Salman. That being said, this is not about 'overreaching' by them. Iran has played its cards right in the region and has encircled Saudi Arabia. It has them facing two fronts one in Yemen and now one in Iraq. Iran has been waiting for this day for a long time and is much more prepared for a war than Saudi Arabia is. And is more motivated for a war. Saudi Arabia wants stability more than anything else.

Make no mistake though, any Saudi-Iranian war would have huge negative repercussions for the region.

but the problem is they did go through some PAC-2 and PAC-3 and hawk missiles and 30mm air defense gun systems, how did they pass all of them.

Unprecedented attack. The media is reporting that this attack has knocked out half of Saudi oil production.

Attack knocks out half of Saudi oil capacity

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/09/14/business/saudi-oil-output-impacted-drone-attack/index.html

If true, this is going to skyrocket oil prices around the world.

How did UAV reach their from Yamen they few from Brother UAE area?

 

[ziaulislam]

Who can those be?


No this has been done by people inside the country.

ofcourse, it was simple drone with 5-10kg material but the fact that saudis couldnt get yemen and syria in control is testement to their failure

 

[skyshadow]

This is not from Yemen its from Iraq. These are sophisticated drones and a sophisticated operation. Most likely conducted by IRGC members.

New photos just came out of some wreckage, looks like maybe Fateh 110 ballistic missiles involved too??:

Or cruise missiles ??

cruise missile

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

It is a good 45 min to 1 hour flight for a Drone to go from Yamen to that Refinery
So USA patriot missiles could not spot the drone ?

Did it really flew from Yamen , UAE is the closest foreign region
Brother oman is also near by (who also have been housing our enemy India)

$80 billion USD military budget for what exactly?

Some Khat chewing sandal warriors with missiles and drones build in caves proved the whole world how vulnerable mighty Saudi Arabia is.
