Iran’s President Defends Yemeni Rebel Attack on Saudi Capital

[Super Falcon]

Very irresponsible statement when u r sitting on tip of dynamite playing with fire is kinda idiotship these uneducated fools driving both nations at unnecessary bloodshed it seems they are working on jew agenda

Natiiin from both sides take these type of idiots from necks

 

[raptor22]

Then deal with your warmongering crowd first before you preach on the others.

Your mullah is drunk on power. He will not leave a good mark in history.

What have we done?
when we started a war?
Is Iran bombing people in Yemen for 2.5 years?
Crack downing peaceful protest of people in Bahrain?
Sending weapons and pumping money into the Syria?
Is it Iran that made Lebanon prime minister to resign and force Abbas to order Palestinian in Lebanon to start fighting against Hezbollah?

No we are on the right side of history .

 

[mohsen]

Nope.

We cannot get involved in a war or people not native enough. Yemenis are the dearest people to us next to the Saudis.

Facing bankruptcy and potential ISIS threat from Afghanistan which you are innocently providing wheat with from chahbahar. You are asking too much when it comes to siding in foreign conflict.

Let the legitimate government be restored like you would have it in Syria.

Ever wondered why no Pakistani went crazy that Saudi Arabia got attacked?

We simply have our own battles which you have historically never cared of. So justice is our priority not humanity which is just a byproduct.

Hadi resigned and his resignation was accepted, so he is no longer the legitimate government of Yemen.

The funny thing is that Afghanistan government is the only obstacle against ISIS, and you are against helping them.
it's called hypocrisy.

You were mostly likely to be proud regardless of it's meaning. I admit I assumed.

You are not the only one who uses Arabic words in your language!

 

[Hack-Hook]

Russia and China will take the side which has more money and will buy more from them, they are already selling their weapons to Saudis and wont compromise their sell by some small purchases, no need to mention the U.N resolutions against Yemenis.

Yemeni's only friend is Iran, but for your own reasons you prefer to alter the reality!



Like the four Iranian drones which were advertised as their own products.
unlike you, I wont presume Yemenis as complete liars just to prove my point.
just like our car industry which assembles foreign cars and advertises them as our products, Yemenis are doing the same, even Turks do the same with their military products.
unveiling of these systems has a more important message for their enemies.


the system which they used to shut down those birds.



They didn't have missile program, they just had missiles, like the rest of lazy Arab armies.
we had scud missiles and we weren't sure if it would miss the city from 300km away, let alone targeting a specific part of city like airport from 1000km away, this capability is way beyond them.

Saddam didn't had missile program but when he saw nobody gave him long range missile to hit Tehran in a fairly short time he built al-Hussain missiles

 

[mohsen]

Saddam didn't had missile program but when he saw nobody gave him long range missile to hit Tehran in a fairly short time he built al-Hussain missiles

1.Saddam was receiving all kind of support from it's allies, while Yemenis are under a sever embargo and constant air attack.
2.it took about three or four years before first Al-Hussain launch, many of them failed during flight while their accuracy was way lower than the original Scud.
3.even a decade later, still Iraqis couldn't even get close to the range or accuracy of Yemenis missiles.

so if you wanted to prove that Yemenis are receiving help from Iran, you succeed!

How much you are sure about Yemeni army capabilities?

 

[ashok321]

Arab states hold emergency meeting on Iran, Hezbollah

 

[mohsen]

How much you are sure about Yemeni army capabilities?

I just know one thing, their missile development is as advanced as their drone program! (and none of them existed before the war)

Who helped Saddam for increasing the range of Scud missile? And are you sure Yemen missile wont fail ?

 

[mohsen]

Who helped Saddam for increasing the range of Scud missile?

They were an oil rich country, they had huge finical support from all Arab monarchies, they could freely test their achievements without being worried about a sever surveillance and air raid attacks, they had access to global market
and finally, they had a joint research program:

I'm not sure anymore if you are trolling or something else.

from the same article

The progress was slow due in part to the lack of indigenous technology and the need to covertly acquire the technology and materials used in production of ballistic missiles abroad. By 1987 or early 1988, Iraq became unhappy with the slow pace of the project and suspicious that is partners might be siphoning off some of the billions invested. Iraq experienced difficulties with the supplier governments with regard to the provision of the missiles as well as support and production equipment. After contract delays and in an effort to receive some of the contracted items, Iraq signed another contract, in 1987, for the provision of only 17 complete BADR 2000 missiles and missile ground support equipment. Iraq soon realized that it would not receive any of the contracted missiles, nor most of the contracted infrastructure.

Project 395 had at least three sites in Iraq, each of which has a different function and its own project number. In addition, a missile R&D site was erected in northern Iraq. Despite all efforts, though, the Condor apparently was not mass produced in time for the invasion of Kuwait in August 1990.

this project was some money grabbing scheme from western companies and they delivered nothing for the money they stole from Iraq

That project was doomed because of sanctions against Argentine (Falkland war) and lack of parts. it's a good example for those who think a backwarded country can produce an accurate 1000km range ballistic missile overnight or decade!

he project was doomed because of those sanctions and also unwillingness of west to gave Iraq something that could reach Israel and also the fact that Iraq wanted solid fuel missiles.
they still managed to extend the range of Scud missiles to about 750km and made liquid fueled Al-Hossain missiles.

Unlike what you say it wasn't an accurate missile attack and Like what @Hack-Hook said Yemeni army has done the same thing that Saddam did with Al Hussian missile ...and they've had NK R-17s as the basis of their design.

1.More recently, the rebels have been launching missiles they claim to be domestic clones of Scuds, called the Burqan-1 and -2. These are believed to be modified Scuds with extended range. An analysis by Jane’s concluded that though it is possible these are derived from North Korean or Iranian technology, they are most likely local modifications.​

2.It is possible that the Burkan series is a previously unseen Scud derivative that Yemen acquired
from North Korea before the conflict. For example, Syria has a North Korean missile known as the
'Scud D' with a range of around 700 km that has never been seen in public. However, if such a
weapon was obtained from North Korea prior to the outset of the war, it seems strange that the
rebels would wait 18 months before launching one of these missiles. It is therefore more plausible
that this time was spent modifying existing Scud types to extend their range, as well as building
TELs capable of launching larger missiles.

The stated dimensions of the Burkan-1 suggest that it is a standard Scud that has been
lengthened with additional sections welded into its fuselage and fuel tanks so that it can carry the
additional propellant needed to extend its range. Iraq carried out similar modifications to produce
Al Hussein missiles capable of reaching Tehran during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War. There are
reports that each Al Hussein was initially made using parts from three R-17s.

The Burkan-2 appears to use a new type of warhead section that is locally fabricated. Both Iran
and North Korea have displayed Scud derivatives with shuttlecock-shaped warheads, but none of
these match the Yemeni version. The range of the Burkan missiles also appears to have been
extended by a reduction in the weight of their warheads. It can be problematic to take too much
mass from the nose of a ballistic missile as this shifts the missile's centre of gravity in relation to its
centre of pressure, making it less stable in flight. This was a problem for Iraq's Al Hussein missiles,
which tended to break up on re-entry, creating multiple targets for US Patriot batteries to engage
during the 1990-91 Gulf War.
Yemen's rebels may be experiencing similar problems. The first two Burkan-2 missiles may have
come down in the desert on their way to Riyadh, which would explain why there were no
corroborating reports of those attacks. The coalition statement regarding the third Burkan-2 attack
certainly raised questions about the accuracy of the missile. It seems unlikely that the rebels would
have deliberately targeted the remote town of Al-Rayn as implied; if Riyadh was the intended
target as stated by the rebels, then the missile was significantly off course and came down well
short of the Saudi capital. ​

In fact the first attempt to fire B2 failed, the second one missile was significantly off course and raised questions about the accuracy of the missile:

Unsurprisingly, the first firing of a Burkan-2 – on the evening of Oct. 29, 2017 – failed. The missile malfunctioned and exploded high above Sa’ada. The second was the one that targeted King Khalid International on Nov. 4. The Houthis are perfectly capable of bombarding Saudi Arabia without Iran’s help.


Then how Iran helped them?​

I don't care about western news and analysis, they even called Iranian missile launch against ISIS in Syria a failure.
after all, their latest B.S from their most credible military sources is the Qiam theory, which they even bothered to present a painted barrel as their proof!

Then how Iran helped them?​
