| The Yemeni hypersonic missile? Is it serious? |
Recent developments in Yemen's military capabilities have highlighted the country's significant advancements in military technology, which have been underestimated by many, including Israel. Yemen's military industrialization efforts, managed by the Military Industrialization Authority under the Ministry of Defense, have focused on producing a wide range of defense equipment, including light multi-purpose vehicles, medium trucks, ammunition, and electronics.
Yemen's military has recently intensified its attacks on positions in occupied territories, forcing millions of Israelis to seek shelter almost nightly. Military experts have noted that Yemeni drones and missiles have successfully penetrated the air defense and missile defense systems of the United States and Israel, demonstrating their advanced capabilities.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have undergone significant reorganization and expansion, with support from the Soviets in developing an effective intelligence system and logistics capable of supporting mobile operations. The Houthis, a significant faction in Yemen, have played a crucial role in the country's military advancements, participating in national dialogues and contributing to the overhaul of military authorities. Yemen has also recently acquired TOR air defense systems, which are more advanced than their current systems, further enhancing their military capabilities.
Iranian technology transfers to Yemen have also been documented, including the use of UAVs to disable Saudi-led Coalition Patriot missile-defense systems, showcasing an evolution in advanced asymmetric tactics.
In summary, Yemen's military advancements, supported by both internal industrialization efforts and external technology transfers, have positioned the country as a formidable force in the region. The ongoing conflict has highlighted Yemen's resilience and technological prowess, challenging the assumptions of its adversaries.
