How did the Houthis get such long range missiles? Comparable to that of Iran and Pakistan

The Houthi "Toufan" is the Iranian Ghadr-F MRBM with a 1650-1950km range.

The Houthi Qods-4 is the Iranian Paveh LACM with a 2000km range.

In short: Iran supplied them with these weapons (how, and to what extent there is some element of local production, is not clear). The IRGC Quds Force also has presence on the ground in Yemen, it is possible they are assisting with the launches

The weapons are being smuggled in (probably in parts then reassembled locally, resulting in underperformance due to subpar local manufacturing conditions) probably by sea (Houthis control a large part of the Red Sea coast of Yemen, and Iran has military ships permanently stationed in that region).

One of them has struct Eliat port. They are increasing the numbers they are firing which would make interception difficult.

Houthis have an incredible arsenal of Iranian weapons:

- Ballistic missiles: Fateh-110 (300km), Raad-500 (500km), Qiam-1/2 (800/1000km), Kheibar Shekan (1450km), Rezvan (1400km), Ghadr-F (1650-1950km)
- Cruise missiles: Paveh LACM (up to 2000km range with Qods-4)
- Drones: Shahed-131 (900km range), Shahed-136 (claimed up to 2500km range), Ababil-2
- Air defence: 358 SAM (100/150km range), Taer-2 SAM (50/70km range)
- Anti-ship: Ghader ASCM (300km range), Hoveizeh ASCM with optical guidance (1400km range), Khalije-Fars ASBM with EO guidance (300km range), Raad-500 ASBM with EO guidance (500km range - this hasn't even been seen in Iran yet)

This is just their Iranian-supplied weapons that they have publicly shown or used - they also have large inventories of Soviet weapons they inherited from the former Yemen Army (including SCUD and Tochka ballistic missiles, S-75 air defence and anti-ship missiles). They also recently flew a F-5 jet over the capital city Saana, which is pretty funny/insane.

Thanks to Iran, they are without a doubt the best armed non-state actor in the world. An incredibly powerful and strategically-located member of the Axis of Resistance.

simple, they have faith, dedication, will to sacrifice and not compromise that with the standards of wordly life which are not aligned within islamic principles, something that most of the muslim countries lost in process.

Blinken has Pakistani balls stacked away in the White House

GHQ balls are definitely stacked away in White house.

Great Houthi scientists create strong missile and sophisticated drones!

Ofcourse, Its Iran's supplied weaponry.

However, interesting question is how come Iran kept transferring it. US warships are regularly patrolling those seas. My idea is US didn't really cared when Houthis & KSA were fighting. As KSA in war means, great business for US defense industries. Secondly, if they kept fighting between each other gives more excuses for US military bases presence in the area. All that calculation is gone wrong when houthis turned against US real ally Israel.

A serious threat for Israel. No other way to put it.
