Yemenis destroyed a number of Saudi army vehicles including another M1A2 tank. The M1A2 was destroyed after Houthis captured it to prevent Saudis from ever using it again.

It looks like Saudis lost 3 Abrams tanks so far, maybe more.

They seem to have plenty of Konkurs. The nightmare of armor.

They can have in stock about a thousand missiles .. In first half of 2000s Yemen bought about 200 BMP-2 IFV from Russian stocks after repair and upgrade + about 100 BMP-2 from Ukrainian stocks. Konkurs ATGM it's standart weapon for this IFV - 3-4 ATGM per vehicle. Probably portable launchers were also purchased together with BMP-2 .

Since you always seem to write long tirades and whining about innocent civilians dying here and there, I'm yet to see you post in this thread, and specifically talk about civilians being killed everyday by Saudis, talk about hypocrisy and why no one takes you seriously with any of those posts crying about civilian deaths. Talk about crocodile tears.

Saudi-led coalition air strike kills 36 Yemeni civilians: residents| Reuters

An air strike by a Saudi-led coalition killed 36 civilians working at a bottling plant in the northern Yemeni province of Hajjah on Sunday, residents said.

"The process of recovering the bodies is finished now. The corpses of 36 workers, many of them burnt or in pieces, were pulled out after an air strike hit the plant this morning," resident Issa Ahmed told Reuters by phone from the site.

The alliance intervened in Yemen's war in March and has waged an air campaign that has rolled back some of the territorial gains of Iranian-allied Houthi forces with the goal of restoring exiled President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

Human rights group Amnesty International said in a report this month that the campaign had left a "bloody trail of civilian death" which could amount to war crimes.

Air raids killed 65 people in the front-line city of Taiz last Friday, most of them civilians, and the bombing of a milk factory in Western Yemen in July killed 65 people including 10 children.

Members of Yemen's exiled government and Saudi officials have said they are cautious to avoid civilian casualties and cite reports by human rights groups that accuse the Houthis of shelling and blockading civilian areas.

Over 4,300 people have been killed in five months of war in Yemen while disease and suffering in the already impoverished country have spread.

Militias and army units loyal to Hadi have made significant gains toward the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa in the last two months, but the group remains ensconced in Yemen's north and casualties continue to mount in nationwide combat every day.

abandoned tank is easy pickings. notice how it's not a catastrophic kill that you would see from a soviet era tank. the separate ammunition and blow out panels doing it's job

if Sauds where smart they would have GPS locations of all vehicles they abandon on purpose and have a look out watching it for the Houthis to pop up and then boom blow them up

The Saudis & Emirates have learned warfare from the American style. Bomb the hell out of a country, push out the opposition, and just fuuck the results.

Senior security official killed in drive-by shooting in Yemen's Aden
- Xinhua | English.news.cn

Here is the "liberated Aden"

"Colonel Abdul-Hakim Sunidi, chief of Aden's security operations, was attacked along Reemy street when gunmen, riding motorcycles, opened fire from automatic rifles and killed him at the scene in Aden's neighborhood of Mansoura, the local military official said on condition of anonymity.

The unknown gunmen fled the scene immediately, while eyewitnesses believed that the attack was conducted by two hooded men riding a motorbike.

Ahmed Ali, a senior officer of Aden's security department, told Xinhua his colleague had just left his house and headed for a security meeting in Aden when the incident happened.

The incident occurred just hours after Yemen's interior ministry announced resuming its operations and starting to conduct its security services from Aden.

No one has claimed responsibility over the drive-by shooting, but the Yemen-based al-Qaida branch has in several occasions claimed to be behind such attacks."

And since when did I support Saudi airstrikes on civilian areas? Where do you see me vouching for them? Oh yeah nowhere. I support Saudi airstrikes and ground intervention vs Houthis where they strike Houthis in the open. I don't support when they strike them in urban areas. It's bound to hit and kill civilians.

That's exactly what I expected to hear.
It's bound to kill civilians? Yeah, all those civilians killed in Syria were bound to be killed because some terrorists hide themselves like rats in Syrian cities since 2011. All those 80,000 civilians killed till now were bound to be killed. So nothing to be sad about and many of them were killed by very same terrorists.

And again you show that you truly do not care about human life.
I said I don't support air strikes in urban areas because they are guaranteed to kill civilians. Where did I say it was justified that they were doing that? I clearly said that those airstrikes are worthless and are war crimes.
Btw it's 177,000 civilians. That's a figure from January.
I don't support airstrikes in urban areas by anyone, but here you are supporting Assad's airstrikes everywhere. Yet you're the one saying we're the ones with crocodile tears. Hypocrite.

A great deal of airstrikes are in urban areas. So the fact that you support this whole operation is a hypocrisy, isn't it?

So you don't accept air strikes in urban areas? Then you shouldn't accept overwhelming majority of this operation, yet you come out in support of it. Although the reason is obvious (sectarian reason) and I don't expect you to think otherwise, but it's important to point out the hypocrisy here.
