[HannibalBarca]

it is important because Riyadh is not safe more.

It's not the first time that smthing like that happened, at least few times already.

Breaking: Ballistic missile strikes Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-ballistic-missile-strikes-riyadh-saudi-arabia/

According to emerging reports from Yemen, a surface-to-surface missile fired by the Yemeni Army has hit the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

The missile was launched on Sunday evening, and sources in Yemen have described the missile test as successful. It is unclear exactly what missile was used, and casualty figures, if any, are yet to be reported.

Saudi Arabia intervened military in the Yemeni Conflict in 2015, leading a coalition of almost 10 Middle Eastern countries. In October 2016, a Yemeni activist warned that Riyadh was the next target for a Yemeni missile attack.

Update 1: More information has emerged, suggesting that the missile was a variant of a Russian Scud missile, known as the “Borkan” surface-to-surface missile.

Update 2: People living inside Riyadh are reporting that the missile struck a military base West of Mazahimiyah in Riyadh.

Only Pentagon knows what they sold to Saudis in the name of Pac-3

However, this could be a fake story. Only almasdar is reporting. We should wait for more credible sources to confirm this news.

What do you mean?

I have seen the entry and exit of most of Saudis, that's why i have my opinion.
For now.. lets find arguments to justify this missile attack and celebrate possibly dead Saudi.

never before Riyadh targeted.
and it's seriously very long distance many nations like Turkey don't know how to build missile with this range but Yemenis did.

Well, it' snot impossible, since the yemenis volcanos are Scud-D variants with at least 700km range.

It's Scud-D variant, it's not like they R&D it...

Two points

1- The saudis need to take their gloves off and neutralise the threat if their major cities are coming under threat

2- Pakistan refused to get involved in the Yemeni mess and for good reason.
But we have a defence agreement with Saudi, what red lines exactly have to be crossed for that to be activated? Does anyone know?

Are you high right now? what it has to do with the patriot missile not working?

Im sure its more then that

And more to do with the defence of all land and borders.

Saudi has more then enough weaponry to respond to this on its own but its escalations like this which could be interesting

What happened to all expensive and advanced missile defence systems like Patriot 3?

Let's keep mocking limited to incapable Saudis and not blame the US made defence system.
Though, in defence of missile defence systems.. i'd say we all know they do not provide 100% protection.
It worked effectively on past occasions, where target was Mecca.

Having art of the state equipment do not make you a good army... KSA as today could be easily invaded by less stronger countries around her...
