Ansar Allah footage shows Saudi Arabian F-15 shot down over Saada

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

With air dominance drones and other airborne recon assets they should have known what kind of threat is in the area.

Drones can't see into caves.

The radars are only turned on when people on the ground see or hear a plane. The radars are only turned on a few seconds to guide the missiles to the planes. The missiles home in on radio waves reflected off planes. The radars are not used for finding planes. The radars are hidden in caves. Impossible to do SEAD, which assumes radars are used for finding planes.

The missile is not advance while in good hands advance F-15 can handle this with ease.

F-15 is 1970s plane. Semi active radar homing is sufficient to down F-15. Americans didn't have AMRAAM until September 1991.

They do, get updates also there are other assets which can do that, even Pakistani P-3s did it for PA.

Your post shows you don't have clue what KSA is fielding and what advance F-15 can do in well trained pilots hands.

US did have AIM-7s as BVR and they were advance weapons in their time.

Kehna kya chahtay ho meri jan?

In dono parties nay gulshan k tahafuz ki qasam khai hain. Apnay hisay k aam IKathy kro or Salam ALaikum. In nay nahe baz Ana. They gonna find another reason to----

If true than it's really disturbing!!! Have they sold dummies to the KSA?!?!? And, what's about their defense personnel??? Have they turned into zombies too!!! If this is the case then the only thing standing in between the utter disaster and Hijaz is the Pak Ordu....

**Pak and Turkey should seriously think about the contingency plans to take over Hijaz at any emergency ( I think it is nearby thanks to all the palace coups instigated by the foreign agencies)....

Giving the Hijjaz protection to a country who can’t even protect its own sky, and to a country who’se face is stuck to Natanyahu zipper... that is a genius!

Its not Scrap. It's the assistance of Angels to the Yemeni Mujahideen fighting Wahabi Regime.

The Yemeni sandals are deadly...Boeing’s stocks tumbled today..

Looks like everything's proceeding under an evil plan (run with the rabbit and hunt with the hound) for the ultimate objective of the destruction of the Haremain ( May Allah save us): Yemen fiasco, palace coup, internal "liberal" changes to inflame domestic fights, Iran-KSA inflammation in relationship with top grade octane, asking KSA/UAE to fund for the Turkish coup and PKK/YPG/PYD etc., making UAE as a launching pad for the evil executions, threatening Iran with a war so that they can preempt (same Iran-Iraq war tactics) etc.!!! Time, unfortunately, is running out fast!! As for the Ehl-i Iman, time isn't without its MASTER....

Wake up! El haramein have been already leveled by the Sauds..Their is nothing to defend or to sob over...

Yep. They've grounded everything except the Rozah of Rasool Allah PBUH. And the day isn't far when they'll intend to do that as well. Saudis are the hosts of Dajjal and there is no doubt into that. Talking about Turkey, that wannabe Khalifa is a sucker and nothing else.

Thats not F-15. Some small UAV.

Maybe a CH-4 UCAV Saudi Arabia bought from China.

Let's assume what you want to happen happens, and the Saudi state collapsed, what do you propose afterwards?

Saudi outlets reported that a damaged fighter jet just landed.

It's true that F 15 was hit with an old and outdated R27 T but one engine was damaged as it seems, Yemenis have chnaged R27 missiles functionality to be used as SAM systems.

Wiki says that speed of missile is 4.5 mach which is almost equal to 0.65359 kilometer per second. It takes 19 to 20 seconds to reach the fighter jet according to video clip. So with a simple approximation distance from fighter jet was 12 Km, not to mention that with having the angle of missile firing, the altitude of fighter jet can be calculated approximately. Approximation is 8 to 10 Km if the angle is supposed to be 45 degree.

The radar system that is being used by Yemenis possibly belongs to S125/pechora Soviet made SAM, with 20 to 35 Km range. So the possibilities proves that it was an R27 programmed to be engaged with S125/pechora engagement radar.

Planes are made of aluminum. Fragile. Written off for sure.

Air to air missile can also function as surface to air missile. Anti aircraft missile is a better description.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-27_(air-to-air_missile)

The missile seems to be R-27T which is infrared homing. Regardless, both R-27R and R-27T are deadly to planes.

[Metanoia]

Objectively speaking, it's somewhat of a deterrence which might give a marginal breathing space to the Houthis against the Saudi Airforce by keeping them on their toes.

Please bear in mind that in recent times and in contemporary history the nation of state of Russia, Jordan, Syria, and USA have lost fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircrafts at the hands of the respective militias they have been engaged in conflict with. That does not in any way undermine these respective airforces in terms of their equipment and dominance in their particular theatre/area of operations against their enemy.

To effectively challenge the RSAF, i.e. deny them the air superiority, the Ansarullah/Houthis would need a proper network of mobile SAMs of low-med altitude (mobile due to the absence of an airforce as the stationary platforms will be sitting ducks to high-altitude bombers and stand-off weapons).

It was T variant, yes it would be deadly. A 1/2 was missing, edited the post

BTW , so low altitude for a fighter jet, they feel so free to get as much as possible close to the target, in absence of a more capable SAM.

 

[Malik Alpha]

Also mention the Wahabis with whom these Turks are cooperating nowadays.

Yes Wahabis are everywhere. Dont f with them tere ghar bhi ghus jaenge
