Houthi rebels destroy M1 Abrams tank in Jizan

[Globalwarrior]

Everyone abandoned the post?
Why was the tank by itself?

Abrams is strong tank. Top quality machine.

To me, they may have captured the abandoned tank then tries to destroy it.

The video shows they did abandon it. All the rebels did was burn it afterwards starting from the drivers seat.

yup, exactly
even after all that the tank was fine

Not issue. Saudi will purchase 10 more. It will not effect Saudia financially.


We should not support any non state actor for raising weapon. They becomes militant then terrorist.

but this has an effect on the morale of the tropps. psyops is just as potent nowadays as is the lethaity of a force

Thats what happens when ur tanks are not backed by infantry units. Saudis have no clue how to conduct war.

This has happened on a border post..where a hundred or so rebels attack a handful solders..the crew had to abandon the tank because it was hit and they might have been out of ammunition.. one can see clearly that they were firing to defend the post..and then their tank got hit..The Houthis don't show the rest of what has happened when the Apache and reinforcements arrived..

Excuses, excuses...they were less than 10 Houthis that storm the Sauds position...
Houthis destroyed a support Saudi navy ship and all its crew was killed..Is that just another lucky shot?
