ANALYSIS
The Saudi-led coalition trying to restore Yemen's internationally recognised government appears to have opened a third front by deploying a substantial force to Marib province.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has already deployed ground forces and Apache attack helicopters to southern Yemen via the port of Aden, while Saudi forces are trying to contain cross-border attacks launched by the Ansar Allah group from northern Yemen.

The new front has become apparent since 21 August, when videos began to appear on social media showing military convoys in Marib province to the east of the capital Sanaa. These are presumed to have been on the road that runs across the desert from the Saudi border town of Al-Sharawrah to Marib city.

The GCC are going to fight this themselves the southern separatists refused to fight. Pro-hadi forces and workers are on strike for not getting paid and Hadi and his ministers are still in KSA. How many more losses can the coalition of the incompetent take as military spending sky rockets, yemen army and houthis has being preparing for them. Glad this is not Pakistan's fight, now lets see how the inexperienced coalition in action.

They've killed 8000 civilians up to now and destroyed many many many places, cities and towns in Yemen. Their noses shall be rubbed to the ground in Yemen.


The revolution of Yemen began since 2011, abdullah saleh left the power and the Zionist American puppet Suadis put his vice Mansour Hadi in power to frustrate Yemenis revolution. And for 6 months ruthless wahhabis have bombed Yemen with American and Israeli aircrafts when they saw power of their pet is in danger.

Half of population of Yemen are Shia and the rest of them are Shafi'I who have no connection or resemblance to wahhabis. Also they're very close people to Shias and they've lived beside each other for many centuries.

The number of total casualties from idol worshippers and Jews that were killed in all of the 80 wars against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is 1100 but Suadis have bombed Yemeni Muslims and killed 8000 just for saving a man in power who has no legitimation and should left the power the same as his elder boss abullah saleh.

Wahhabis have killed zero Zionists but they've killed millions Muslims. They'll rot in hellfire in 7th floor of hell for killing Muslims. Even the hell isn't enough for em ...

GCC must send all it s military power to Yemen if its wants to control all the country

 

[beast89]

yemen army said they destroyed at least 20 armoured vehicles yesterday. Seems to be true.

 

[beast89]

Safe estimates from video footage suggests GCC have lost 20% of its armoured fighting vehicles.

A lot more than that...to get to the true loss , it safe to multiply it by 50%...Most those convoy were sent unmanned just to scare the houthis and to bolster their image abroad...

 

[bdslph]

well it is easier to destroy the IFV and APC then tank

 

[black-hawk_101]

I think that IRAN will going to supply more Anti Tanks weapons to Yemen and may be more SCUDs too.

 

[Bornubus]

[$@rJen]

Better find a political solution... there's no way GCC going to get any victory..

That looks like impact from shell/rocket, this no air guided missile.
