Houthis media releases photos from missile strike on Saudi capital
 [ALMASDARNEWS] The Houthi forces released several photos from their large-scale missile attack on the Saudi capital of Riyadh this week.They show the missiles'launch, but not any impact on their targets. Antimissile technology is expensive and not 100 percent effective, but I think it renders the Houthis' missiles nothing more than a tool for harassment. Even in pre-Patriot days, HE-payload short and intermediate range missiles weren't much more than that. Chem warfare (and bio warfare to a lesser extent) has been only minimally more effective -- terror weapons, rather than legitimate tactical or theater level weapons. Houthi forces’ rocket battalion utilized Badr-1 and Burkan ballistic missiles to target the Saudi capital from their positions in northern Yemen. Yesterday’s attack by the Houthi forces marked the third time this week that they have targeted a site inside Saudi Arabia. Posted by: Fred 2018-04-13 |
