Houthi forces develop torpedo missile to take out Saudi warships
2017-11-07
[ALMASDARNEWS] On Monday, the Sanaa-based Yemeni Government unveiled a brand new type of underwater missile which was manufactured by Houthi engineers and will be deployed to combat Saudi vessels that are spotted traveling through the Red Sea.

The torpedo, nicknamed Al-Manbab, is reportedly capable of hitting enemy ships from far away although its exact firing reach remains unknown for now.

#6  That site is a nasty set of "news". Looks like a propaganda site to me. American helicopters moving Daesh commanders out of harm's way, etc. I feel soiled just having looked at the damned thing.
