Qouting southfront lmao. According to that website marib has fallen million times.. Houtis have lost 10000 fighters in just few months and now have issues recruiting. They also lost territories verified news.

Houtis have lost territories in the south.. They can never defeat hadis army and the southern separatists..

The more it drags out they will give territories the otherside is not in a hurry and counting on eventually houthi fatigue by just keep the war going on them until they run completely dry out of resources and run out of ammos eventually
Sir, where do you think they receive technological aid?

Its true that they are surrounded by western led axis of Israeli/saudi/emirati but there is always a way to compensate the deficiencies. Yemen is a country of millions and the easiest way to support them is to provide them with blueprints and some of sensitive electronic parts. They can do the rest.

The recent drone attack against vital assets of Sauds proved you are wrong. An Assembly line and then its done.

So far Yemenis have done so well to strike fear in the hearts of invading forces, and with USA pulling out of the region, Sauds are gonna receive a serious blow from Yemen. Its all predicted and coordinated. Sauds started something Let's leave the ending process to the Yemeni.
Houthis are gaining more and more strategic ground. These Houthi Hanafi Zaydis have been the most elitest warriors of Yemen. They're from Hamdan tribe, one of the most martial and loyalist Arm of Prophet Muhammad and later Ali ibn Abi Talib. Hamdanis were elite cavalry of Ali and Rasool Allah. Most notable were Jundub al Hamdani, Malik e Ashtar al Naqai ul Hamdan, Al Haris Al Hamdani etc.. If you look at the records, no invader could ever settle their feet in Yemen just like in Afghanistan. Hadi, US Mercenaries or Saudis. They can never defeat these Hamdani Zaydi Sunnis.


They're fighting foreign puppets just like Taliban fought Pro US Govt.
Let me tell you
Houthis are Afghan of Arab

Each continent has a special breed. For us they are Afghans, For them they are Yamenis

Desert storm happened in a flat desert..

BTW the US SF fought in Yemen and lost most of their men. much before KSA intervened..

The war is not over, but now there is a period of "Restoring Hope" operation, which prevails in a political nature over a military one ..

The "Decisive Storm" operation (a one month operation) was very successful, resulting in the liberation of key areas in Yemen..
Arabian deserts present their own set of challenges to maneuvering considerations. They have sands thin like talcom powder. These sands creep into heavy machines and cause break downs. Excellent logistics are absolutely necessary to enable rapid military advances in these landscapes.

Iraqi topology is not utterly bland like that. It is a good mix of numerous geographical features at a closer look. Numerous rivers stand in the way of maneuvering. There are forests, hills and even marshlands in the mix.

Does KSA have logistics on par with USA? Not even close.

Now let us consider Iraqi resistance. Iraqi are accustomed to fighting by virtue of regional and global pressures. They have demonstrated remarkable aptitude for guerrilla warfare. They redefined applications of suicide bombing and IEDs while confronting Foreign troops in the (2004 - 2008) period. Iraqi insurgents could transform entire cities into no-go-zones as well. Resistance efforts of Afghan Taliban looked tame in comparison.

US-led forces suffered heavy casualties in virtually open-ended clashes with Iraqi insurgents across the country in the (2004 - 2008) period; thousands of KIA and injured. US-led forces could withstand such onslaught due to virtually unrestricted access to Iraq from Kuwait and excellent logistics of-course.

Iraq had considerable defenses in 1991. Iraq swallowed Kuwait in just 2 hours in 1990. Those shiny toys of kuwait were useless. GCC was utterly spooked and requested international intervention. It took a YEAR to have sufficient military buildup of US-led forces in the region to challenge Iraq in Kuwait. Encircling strategy was considered to cut off and isolate a heavy concentration of Iraqi armed forces in Kuwait and across Iraq-Kuwait border from within Iraq. This was a mammoth task from any perspective.

KSA never had the capability to fight and occupy Iraq on its own. Iran could not either.

It is possible to fight in mountains as well. Even Indians can do this. You need good INTEL and right amount of troops.

American military operations in Yemen are limited to UAV strikes on Al-Qaeda affiliates. They have no interest in toppling Houthi.

They did soften Houthi coastal defenses in 2016 to make it possible for your ships to operate near Yemen.

You need to push from the sea to have any shot a toppling Houthi. You need American support in this matter.

Sir, they have always had American support in the sea. American Plus French and British warships surrounded Yemen completely.

Problem is not logistics whatsoever, people of Arabian peninsula have no will to support this unslaught on Yemen.

The only way for Sauds to continue fighting is recruiting fighters from poor countries. Don't forget they are purchased fighters not volunteers. So they cannot withstand sheer will of Yemeni Houthis and Yemeni army.

Sauds will lose this war undoubtedly, the outcome will be out of hand for both Iran, KSA and other regional countries. Sauds started this street fight like a bully, Yemenis will not let them go easily without hitting them in return. Im afraid without Israeli and western pilots, Sauds lack the will to fight.

While everyone is looking at Afghanistan....More of strategic oil rich Marib Governorate has fallen to Houthis...I have seen reports that Israeli mercenaries are now fighting for Saudi side also but the momentum is with the Houties... more Tribes are joining them..

MBS personally is so much invested in this stupid war that he is throwing in everything regardless of the future consequences for Saudi state...They had to withdrawal most of the heavy armor from the Marib due to losses...

Yemeni Houthis kiss the ground after a big victory....good fighters they are.

On September 17, the Houthis announced that they “liberated” more than 1,600 square kilometers in the central Yemeni province of Ma’rib from the Saudi-led coalition and its proxies during a recent large-scale operation.

Around 3,000 Saudi-backed fighters were killed, 12,400 others were wounded and 550 were captured. Furthermore, 1,500 vehicles of Saudi-backed forces were destroyed, burned or damaged.

May the leaders of Iran and Saudia suffer the same way as the people of Yemen are suffering.
May the people responsible for Yemen war suffer the same way as the people of Yemen are suffering.

Aameen sum aameen.

I do not know why you are cursing iran...iran is not the one bombing yemen...iran is not blockading food and medicine to yemen...irandoes not have troops in yemen...iran did not invade yemen...iran did not even care about yemen until yemen people called houthis came to them asking for help..

I think you can examine the records and identify who are the actual culprits ..I give you a hint they live south of the Persian Gulf and they claim to be good Muslims!!!

Good observations in your post.

American support is limited in this case. They want to make sure that shipping activities should continue uninterrupted in the region which is fair (fine).

Yemen is in the state of Civil War (Houthi vs. GPC situation). Saudi intervention is on the behalf of GPC in Yemen. This war have no outcome unfortunately. Yemeni people are suffering by extension. Saudi nationals have also experienced attacks from Houthi responses. This war should have a resolution for the greater good of the region therefore.

All stakeholders should find a political solution to this conflict. If this is not possible (Houthi are not flexible for the sake of argument) then it is time to revisit tactics.

In order to defeat Houthi, KSA will have to consider encircling strategy which will be possible with a maritime assault. A force of 30,000 - 50,000 well-trained troops should be on the cards. Paid mercenaries will not do (as you correctly pointed out). Nobody respects paid mercenaries.

KSA does not have such capability however. USA can provide this capability to KSA on the other hand.

Yemeni people deserve reprieve one way or the other. There should be a solution.

As you mentioned if this war does not end soon something has to be done...I think yemen has to go back being two separated states as they were in the 1960s..North and South yemen...North being houthis and south being Southern separatists and Hadi forces run by a puppet government of the Saudi choice... not the best choice but it will stop the bloodshed..I hope.

You of all very well knew that houthi forces is not exactly a correct term . In fact Pro hadi force fight against Ansar-Allah forces. Both of them consist a various group

More than 90 percent of Yemen army joined Ansar-Allah and very small part of it remain loyal to Hadi which by any measure was illegally at the government.

Did the Aden seperatists unite with Hadi? What happened? I don't see them as a seperate faction in maps anymore.
