No, Pakistan no longer operates these, at least not the Navy (Project 205 Osa/ Type 21 Huangfeng FAC with HY-2 retired pre-2010, and Project 183R Komar class / Type 024 Hegu with SY-1 retired pre-2000).PN also has this and I had suggested earlier that old missiles must be utilized like to counter India threat in terms of fishing boats that are carrying weapons. This will give a strong message to IN.
The Iran-allied Houthis gained a trove of weapons when whole divisions allied to former Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh sided with them at the start of the war. This includes many weapons that had been provided by the United States over the previous eight years such as Russian-made helicopters, more than 100 Humvees with the latest armor packages, 100s of pickup trucks, rocket propelled grenades, advanced radios, night vision goggles and millions of rounds of ammunition. But Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s exiled government say they also receive substantial amounts of weapons and ammunition from Iran. Tehran views the Houthis as the legitimate authority in Yemen, but denies it supplies them with weapons.Can you please give a brief information on Weapons which Houthis have in Yemen?
