That is Soumar, through and through!

What the **** is actually going on? Who the hell gave clearance for this?

SOUMAR? Are you sure?!?!

That's insane if that's the case.

Is it not maybe an old Soviet or NK missile that has been converted?

It looks EXACTLY like a ground launched Kh-55.

And the ONLY country to have modified a Kh-55 for launching from the ground is Iran.

We have no plausible deniability.

Man khaley motajab.

You raise a good point on Iran being the only nation to have ground launched KH-55's and the improved Soumar.

Maybe Iran handed them their old original KH-55 stockpile, and kept the Soumar?

The Kh-55 is air launched.

But who cares at this point. Modified Kh-55 or Soumar. The geopolitical effects for Iran are just as bad.

Oh the geopolitical effects for Iran are going to be atrocious, now the Gulf states have more political ammo against Iran. A miscalculated move on Iran's part.

Could they not have modified the KH-55 for ground launch? Only because I find it surreal that Iran would give a rag-tag, albeit highly effective and energetic rebel group, access to its latest and most advanced CM. Do they not fear that if used by the Houthi's, that its incorporated technology could fall into the hands of the Gulf states?

Do you think the plant got hit?

Currently the Emiratis are denying this, but that's what the Saudis said initially about the attack on King Khaled airport, before eventually admitting it.

Where would the Houthis get a Kh-55 from, if not from Iran? We are talking about a missile that was in many versions armed with a 200 kt nuclear warhead.

Moreover, it is not a piece of cake to modify a missile for ground launch. You have to work out stability, get a suitable booster, etc etc. There is no doubt in my mind that this is a Soumar.

The missile crashed after 50 km. There are pictures of its wreckage on Twitter.

Obviously from Iran, I meant that Iran may have modified the KH-55 then gave it to the Houthi's.


This is also bad for Iran in a military sense. The most advanced CM in Iran's missile arsenal crashed after 50 Km.
