A lot. A normal country can maintain it's own defence equipment. Aside from that, we were talking about price. Guess what, a couple thousand US 'contractors' will drive up that hour/flight price up a LOT. Same for everything else.

''More forces from the Saudi-led coalition arrive to Ma’rib. Images show Otokar ARMA vehicles, photo of Otokar Arma 6×6 armored personnel carrier of Bahrain armed forces in Yemen''More coalition forces arrive in Marib.
Many Otokar Arma,Leclerc tanks and other vehicles spotted.
All these pics you posted are fabricated. Only fools get fooled. Saudi Abrams look like this below. In military, during CAS, identification marks are used for IFF something you don't have any clue about you and the entire army of Iran.
This is how Saudi Abrams looks like
While Abrams that the Houthis displayed is this below and you can clearly identify the fabrication in the pic. The IFF marks is located in the front while the ones RSA have is located in the rare end of every tank. It has been unprofessionally added. The glitter on the pic as well. Some of the old pics Houthis published don't include the IM. Even in fabrication they failed.
Those pics of Abrams are taken from Iraq most likely with the help of Iran of course Iran has along history with photoshop.
do a google search Yemen and saudi border terrain
your pictures will look like a picnic compared to that
there are no semi urban ground between Yemen and Saudi Arabia and Saudi are in sadah nowSaudi Army is still fighting in semi urban areas. Once the fight shift to mountains, taking high gorunds, ridges and holding them, then I will ask who is more capable in doing those.

YEMEN’S HOUTHI REBELS THOUGHT TO BE HOLDING 11 JOURNALISTS HOSTAGE
According to the Reporters Without Borders tally, at least 11 journalists are currently being held hostage by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who are responsible for most of the threats and acts of violence against journalists in an all-out civil war with a death toll from the past four months now exceeding 4,000.
Nine of the 11 journalists were abducted at the same time on 9 June from a Sanaa hotel that was being attacked by Houthis. Most of them work for a news outlet that supports the rival Sunni party Al-Islah, which is affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood. It is not known where the 11 are being held or what has happened to them.
“Violence against journalists by all parties to the conflict in Yemen has increased since the Houthi advance on the capital,” said Alexandra El Khazen, the head of the Reporters Without Borders Middle East and Maghreb desk.
“The systematic abduction of journalists critical of the Houthis is indicative of this rebel group’s determination to tighten its hold on power and silence all opposition. The parties to this conflict – coalition forces, Houthi rebels and Al-Qaeda militants – will be held responsible for their acts of violence against journalists, which are war crimes and violations of the Geneva Conventions.”
The swift Houthi advance and seizure of the capital in September 2014 has led to many violations of freedom of information. Many journalists have been threatened. Journalists have been kidnapped and then released. Media outlets have been ransacked or bombarded and then closed. Journalists’ equipment has been seized.
Yemen is split into supporters and opponents of the Houthis, who practice the Zaidi version of Shi’a Islam. The Houthi rebels harass reporters who criticize them or who cover anti-Houthi events or demonstrations. Many journalists have opted to flee the capital.
The Houthi rebels are not the media’s only predators. In May, air strikes by the Saudi-led Arab coalition targeted a building where two journalists – Abdallah Qabel of Yemen Youth TV and Belqees TV and Youssef Al-Aizari of Suhail TV – were being held by Houthis. The bombardment killed them on the spot.
In April, an air strike killed Mohamed Rajah Chamsane, a journalist with Al-Yemen Al-Youm TV, and three other employees of the station.
In all, at least seven journalists have been killed in Yemen since the start of the year, four of them in connection with their work. Three other media workers have also been killed.
Reporters Without Borders is extremely worried about the deterioration in the safety of journalists and its impact on Yemen’s media, especially as news and information was already hard to come by in a country that is deprived of electricity and Internet most of the time.
Yemeni journalists and foreign reporters in Yemen are also having the utmost difficulty in providing the outside world with coverage of what is happening inside the country.

you dumb shyte , it has been recorded from TV by a handycam .
the "glitter" you mention is just a reflection of light from TV's surface
whatever helps you sleep better at night i just love to imagine your F-tard soldiers getting roasted left and right .
rest in hell
I don't know about that. I think we would all prefer if there was peace in the Middle East.
poor Sauds they bought tens of billions if not over hundred billion dollars on the wrong type of war machines to fight the Houthis.
F-15SA and Eurofighter Typhoon $100+ million dollars to buy and $20,000+ per hour to fly the F-15 and the Eurofighter is estimated to be over $50,000 per hour.
meanwhile they could of bought Textron Land Scorpions that cost less than $20 million and about $3,000 per hour to fly.
could of also bought sets of MQ-9 Reapers(4) with the ground stations for $120 million and cost around $3,000 to fly, and the major advantage of endurance,intelligence gathering, and attacking targets of interest.
you would think the Sauds would of learned from our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq
Any source for the highlighted part?It's almost over now. Houthi and saleh has send a message to the UN that they accept the UN resolution 2216 (a sign of defeat). The houthi in sana'a has almost collapsed and 2 of the main tribes has started attacking them and joined the coalition. 30,000 troops with heavy weaponry have assembled in the Ma'rib province bordering sana'a to liberate it and many sources saying in could happen within the next few days while the houthi's are planting mines around the capital. Apparently the last 72 hours saw the heaviest airstrikes since the operation began.
Pakistani special forces has advanced inside sa'da province together with the saudi and occupied strategic hill tops, mass exodus of houthi and civilian are reported escaping from sa'da. a further 20,000-30,000 freshly trained yemeni troops has finalised their training in KSA and are expected to enter yemen in the next few days through sa'da/Imran provinces.
