Yemen successfully tested a Borkan-1 (Volcano-1) Ballistic missile

Its Iranian product for sure, Houthis are a wonderful opportunity for Iran to live test their missiles against KSA defenses, this will let them assess the abilities of RSAF in case of a future conflict with Iran. if Houthis had already develped this missle they would have struck KSA in retaliation to KSA's first air strike on yemen, that would have halted KSA aggression there and then but its timing shows that its an Iranian product being tested against RSAF (Royal Saudi Armed Forces) to assess their defensive capabilities, however, such an assessment could be misleading because missile pose real threat if they are loaded with WMDs be it nuclear, chemical or biological, that does not seem to be the case here so attacking a country like KSA with missiles loaded with TNT and inviting a massive response by air strikes from KSA with their F-15SA , Typhoons etc would be suicidal. Iran shouldn't play with fire.

 

[My-Analogous]

So it must be true?

The country who don't have 100KM missile and proper infrastructure can develop this thing? Its a gift my friend

 

[xenon54 out]

Most likely Iranian scientists smuggled there are doing this.

The question is is there even any infrastructure to develop something like this? I dont think so.

That dumb bro?
Yemen was an ally of Soviets during the cold war and what you see in those images, obviously are copies of Soviet-made Scud-B and also it's -C variant. Yemen has an strong army. Don't be nuts please.

 

[JOEY TRIBIANI]

Thats strange... . tgey should negotiate & target houthis if they dont surrender...

 

[BHarwana]

BBC has confirmed the missile did hit Riyadh military base.

 

[Safriz]

Seriously?
How can Yemen test fire a 800Km range Ballistic missile on it's own? Obviously Iran gave it to them for using on Saudia. Clear violation of MTCR.

on surface iran is anti usa but behind the scene it is working with usa to force saudia into buying more expensive weapons such as THAAD.

 

[rizhussain44]

Where did this thread go, it had 10 or more pages worth of discussion?

THAAD is already there. The missile went through it and the event has become a shame for USA

And all this coming from one of the poorest countries in the world with a literacy rate of 50-60%, yeah right.

When China exploded her first atomic bomb, the literacy rate was around 60% and the people were very poor, too.

But with a billion population, this is a big difference, it makes a big pool of ressources, money and know-how.

Yemen is not Afghanistan. They were Russian allies in cold war and house many missiles but the point is THAAD what happened to it. I cannot understand this??
