It is noted that British ships were unable to strike Houthi targets in Yemen. In view of this, the British army is forced to use aircraft for strikes, which have to fly 2.4 thousand km from the nearest base. As retired British Rear Admiral Chris Parry noted, because of this, the British Navy is unable to compete with the Russian and Chinese navies, since in this case the difference in weapons is comparable to the difference between a knife and a pistol.
US Central Command reported on January 20 that from November 19 to January 18, the Houthis attacked civilian ships in the Red Sea at least 31 times using anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones. Ansar Allah is a rebel movement ruling northern Yemen that cooperates with Iran and the Hezbollah party from Lebanon. It began supporting Palestinians in the Gaza Strip with attacks on civilian ships in the Red Sea after the Israeli army launched a ground operation in the Palestinian enclave.
