Hi Ismaele - I watch all this closely and have a wonderful friend on social media from Yemen - very highly educated and polite and courteous and friendly that says Yemen can produce these missiles themselves. I think Yemen produced this, but as your article states, war is long, so Russia will have to help Yemen produce more of these. Its hilarious because those Reaper drones keep falling out of the sky over Yemen and so Yemen now has that technology as well. Anything that they get the blueprints for, they can produce according to my Yemeni friend. Also - isn't Jaffa what that city was called when the land was all Palestine ? Only 75 years ago.
Abominable reapers a disgusting ungodly technological creation have been falling for years. the yemeni warriors, decked out in sandals and mouthfuls of khat suddenly and publicly swatting down f35s and f22s might actually wake some people up. i don't doubt lebanon could already do as much but their image is now more high-tech, having such actions taken by yemeni villagers would be far more dramatic in the eyes of western controllers and the public.
I hear you Robert sir. They did at one point, and they may currently, up to the point they no longer do lack in that aspect. They lacked maneuverable hypersonics as well. Being mainly truck-mounted and mobile, it would be time-consuming and risky to deploy during an attack but I wouldn't put it past either group to roll out an s300 or 400 from underground to take shots at jets upon their egress.. There were reports last week a zionist f16 was blown up real good by a syrian s300 in the mediterranean. If the s400 platforms in syria were ever permitted to be used it would make all this a mute point and yisrael would be a instant no-fly zone. Blessings.
If the Houthis or Hezbollah had good air defenses, they’d be shooting those jets down and they’re not doing that. I thought Russia had not yet given permission to Syria to use the S-300’s.
I agree sir. We're clueless as to what permissions exist. I imagine it would be prudent for russia to reserve nearly everything up to the point the ukraine and yisraeli fronts merge into one giant evil cluster called ww3, thereby hsving means of ending it quickly forcing yankees back to their own hemisphere or continent even.
I don’t believe either Hezbollah or the Houthis have S-300’s or S-400’s. Iran does though. Yes a lot of the rocket and even artillery is underground in both places.
S-400’s are in Iran. Syria has S-300’s but they probably can’t use them without Russian help. I know Russia was helping Syria jam Trumps’s cruise missile strikes.
i have a yemen shirt - says yemen in big letters on it.. i don't approve of war, but what israel is doing is completely beyond the pale... i get it why yemen is doing this...
your speculation on the timing of this is indeed very speculative.. although many will jump to the conclusion russia or iran has provided the needed guidance, i am not confident that this is it.. maybe.. the yemeni people are a plucky bunch!! we'll see how this unfolds.. as it presently stands there is no way in hell that israel can continue to genocide palestine and the people of palestine.. that can't continue and many israeli people are smart enough to know this too..
i imagine they have had russian advisors for longer then that, but just who owns and makes the tech - i think that remains an open question.. although i am sure the usa will say it is iran or russia.. the war on yemen has been going on for quite a long time if you'll recall the humanitarian disaster from maybe 7 years ago and also how the ksa and uae have been extremely meddlesome and worse with regard yemen..
I heard they only showed up a couple of months ago when Putin was sending all those advanced weapons to Iran. It was part of his “You attack us, we attack you,” gambit.
All I’ve ever heard was Hezbollah helps them make them from Iranian prototypes, but that was a while back. That comes from a journalist source with deep links in the Resistance Axis. I’ve not yet heard that Iran or certainly Russia ships them any weapons in the form of actual missiles, etc.
thanks robert... there is a lot of speculation and it is hard for us to really know.. but it is all in the realm of the possible and may also be used for propaganda purposes, so - lots to keep in mind!
I just learned that the Houthis absolutely did manufacture and refine this missile from an Iranian prototype. Whether Hezbollah is still helping them make missiles is not known. They had an indigenous missile program before the war.
Also it didn’t land in an open area. Maybe that was one of the interceptors. Israel launched 20 missiles but they all missed. It got past the Iron Dome, the Arrow, and David’s Sling. It seems to have hit a power station near Lod. There is a video of part of the power station in flames after the hit.
It would make a lot of sense to me if Iran facilitated this launch, as a way of responding (asymmetrically) to the assassination of the Hamas leader. But if it was Russia, that is fine too..!
As to the "average speed of 8,000 km/h", given that the ballistic trajectory is parabolic, the travelled distance through the air is way longer than the distance as the crow flies. (This does make the speed of the missile VERY high...)
Israel is always with the "Israel will exact a heavy price" response and never a "Maybe there is a better way that will benefit all."
If they really mean it this time, with Yemen's ever-increasing attack sophistication, it looks like it will be a classic case of "Pride Goeth Before Fall" for Israel.
The big question is, will Israel go nuclear when conventional means don't stop Yemen?
Indeed!The most successful operation of the Houthis so far is the Red Sea blockade, which has caused the bankruptcy of the Israeli port of Eilat. If Hezbollah can keep pounding Haifa, which is the major port of Israel, Israeli economy will suffer even more, which hopefully may turn the tide within the country and in the Middle East. I will discuss it in my next article later today, so please subscribe, if you have not yet.
I know for a fact that Russian advisors are in Yemen helping the Houthis operate these missiles and drones. I’ll give you that much. And there have been IRGC and Hezbollah advisors with the Houthis for a long time now.

Thanks for the insight. Very interesting!
ditto! thanks ann..

I agree.
Hezbollah and Houthis both lack good air defenses.

AND HAMAS - if only Hamas had air defense none of this could have happened
I don’t believe either Hezbollah or the Houthis have S-300’s or S-400’s. Iran does though. Yes a lot of the rocket and even artillery is underground in both places.
S-400’s are in Iran. Syria has S-300’s but they probably can’t use them without Russian help. I know Russia was helping Syria jam Trumps’s cruise missile strikes.
Hezbollah has been helping the Houthis make this stuff from Iranian prototypes for some time now.
Arabia Felix is capable of this😊
It's time for Israel to leave Palestine alone. That's what Yemen's attack is all about.
Thank you for this valuable report and insights👏👏👏
thanks ismaele!!

Russia has had advisors in Yemen for a while now, maybe a month or two. They are helping them operate these arial weapons.

kudos to the houthis!! it can't be blamed on iran then, lolol!!! but the evil empire will no matter what!!
🇾🇪 Hooray! ✊
More please!!!

It seems to have hit a power station near Lod. There is a video of part of the power station in flames after the hit.
That's what Al Mayadeen reported at the time, citing Israeli military.
Another interceptor fell on the train station. Part of the power plant is in flames!
It would make a lot of sense to me if Iran facilitated this launch, as a way of responding (asymmetrically) to the assassination of the Hamas leader. But if it was Russia, that is fine too..!

I’m not sure but I guarantee that’s a native Houthi missile from an Iranian design.
Israel is always with the "Israel will exact a heavy price" response and never a "Maybe there is a better way that will benefit all."
If they really mean it this time, with Yemen's ever-increasing attack sophistication, it looks like it will be a classic case of "Pride Goeth Before Fall" for Israel.

Great article.
Looks like Yemen sent occupied Jaffa another message about three hours ago.
Whether or not it’s effective is one thing. At least they are doing something which is more than anyone can say about the rest of the Arab world.
Indeed!The most successful operation of the Houthis so far is the Red Sea blockade, which has caused the bankruptcy of the Israeli port of Eilat. If Hezbollah can keep pounding Haifa, which is the major port of Israel, Israeli economy will suffer even more, which hopefully may turn the tide within the country and in the Middle East.

Keep up the good work!
I know for a fact that Russian advisors are in Yemen helping the Houthis operate these missiles and drones. I’ll give you that much. And there have been IRGC and Hezbollah advisors with the Houthis for a long time now.
