Unreal John Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 And they want to intervene in Syria? It would make sense if the Saudi Ministry of Defense is fully aware of the incapability of their army, and the intention is to get the kind of improvement that the likelihood of actual combat generally inspires. The Houthis have now made a nice series of "how-not-to-do it" training films for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not without air superiority they can't, given that their launchers can't venture out from cover for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattblack Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The Houthi motto is "God is Great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam".

JasonJ Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Zeid Raad Al Hussein condemned "the repeated failure" of the coalition to prevent deadly incidents.He said air strikes had caused almost all the coalition's civilian casualties. More than 6,000 people, about half of them civilians, have been killed since Saudi Arabia launched a multi-national campaign against rebels in March 2015. Saudi Arabia has denied causing large-scale civilian deaths, saying it is making every effort to avoid hitting civilian targets.Mr Hussein's comments come three days after some 106 civilians were killed in what medics and witnesses said was an air strike on a market in Mastaba, north-west Yemen, in one of the deadliest incidents of the war. The UN said staff who had visited the scene of the attack said, apart from a check-point about 250 metres (820 ft) away, there was no evidence it was a military target. "Looking at the figures, it would seem that the coalition is responsible for twice as many civilian casualties as all other forces put together, virtually all as a result of air strikes," Mr Hussein said. "They have hit markets, hospitals, clinics, schools, factories, wedding parties - and hundreds of private residences in villages, towns and cities including the capital, Sanaa.""Despite plenty of international demarches, these awful incidents continue to occur with unacceptable regularity." Saudi Arabia said it was investigating the attack on Mastaba, adding its forces had targeted a "gathering area" for Houthi rebel fighters about six miles (10km) away. Zeid Raad Al Hussein however said coalition forces appeared not to have taken proper steps to distinguish between military and civilian targets, adding both they and the rebels might have committed "international crimes". On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia's chief military spokesman, Brig Gen Ahmad al-Assiri, said the military campaign was "in the end of the major combat phase". The coalition launched its offensive last March with the aim of repelling the rebels and restoring exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to power. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35842708 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJ Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) British exports of weapons, such as Paveway-IV missiles, to Saudi Arabia under heat because of Saudi's recent bombing campaign style. Campaigners on Friday delivered fake missiles to Downing Street to protest Britain’s continued supply of arms to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns that they are being used against civilians in Yemen. Amnesty International protesters wearing white mechanics’ boiler suits delivered five replicas of the 1.8m-long Paveway-IV weapons used by British-supplied Saudi jets outside British Prime Minister David Cameron’s office. “Ministers need to stop burying their heads in the sand and immediately suspend arms sales for the Saudi war machine,” Amnesty International UK director Kate Allen said. The Saudi-led coalition began bombing Iran-backed rebels in Yemen in March last year to support Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi in a campaign that UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein on Friday said had killed 3,218 civilians. The British government conceded that UK-supplied defense equipment has been used in the campaign, but said it has “one of the most robust arms export control regimes in the world.” It said it has raised allegations of civilian targeting with the kingdom, but refused a call last month by parliament’s international development committee to suspend exports until the matter can be properly investigated. Under Britain’s arms export criteria, licenses cannot be granted if there is “a clear risk that the items might be used in the commission of a serious violation of international humanitarian law.” The British government approved nearly ￡3 billion (US$4.34 billion) of arms licenses for exports to Saudi Arabia in the six months to January, according to the international development committee. Amnesty said that Britain last year transferred 58 combat aircraft and 2,400 Paveway-IV missiles to the kingdom.“It is absolutely shocking that the UK is still selling billions of pounds’ worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia even as the civilian casualties have mounted and mounted in Yemen,” Allen said. A second parliamentary committee, on arms export controls, last week launched an inquiry into the use of British manufactured arms in Yemen, and is to hold its first evidence session next week. British non-governmental organization Campaign Against Arms Trade is also pursuing legal action against the government in a bid to suspend exports. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2016/03/20/2003642029 Edited March 20, 2016 by JasonJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally the reporter doesn't know. Not sure why I went along and used the same word as the article.

Dark_Falcon Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Saudi M60 crew leaves their tanks rear exposed to Houthi missileers and gets blown up, then the reaction force that arrives parks their vehicles in the open and takes no precautions and so loses two vehicles to the same missile launcher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRW0IIJbLD8 The moral of the story: The Saudi Army still sucks.
