Why is the recent operation in Yemen a clear failure for the Saudi located US defense system.
The Yemeni Air Force’s major operation, the “Eighth Deterrence Balance,” took place while targeting key targets in Saudi Arabia that the US and British defense systems were unable to repel.
Due to the wave of tension between the US, Saudi and Emirati aggressor coalition and its mercenaries in ground and air operations and the continuous bombardment of the Yemeni capital Sanaa and other provinces, the Yemeni Air Force strike units launched a major operation called the “Eighth Deterrence Balance” deep in Saudi Arabia. they did.
Zain al-Abedin Othman, a military analyst, published a note on the Lebanese Al-Ahd news site examining the dimensions of the recent operation by Yemeni forces against Saudi Arabia. King Khalid was targeted in Riyadh, King Abdul Aziz Airport and Aramco refineries in Jeddah and several other important military targets in Abha, Jizan and Najran.
“The most important thing was that this large-scale operation achieved its goals accurately and effectively, and was the first operation to respond immediately to the threats of the Yemeni Armed Forces Command against the aggressor coalition,” Othman continued. The operation was a strategic shock that shattered all the calculations and predictions of Saudi Arabia and the United States about upgrading defense systems and its ability to provide more support; In particular, the US Secretary of Defense recently claimed that US support for Riyadh will continue and that the US defense efficiency has reached 90%.
According to this military expert, what the United States and Saudi Arabia neglected happened, and the Yemeni armed forces proved that they are improving their offensive capability, especially in the technical and operational aspects. The eighth operation confirms the readiness and ability of the Yemeni forces to carry out other similar operations, which could be larger and more complex than this operation.
The operation achieved results that are unique in the balance of power and deterrence, the following results are listed for this operation:
First; The beginning of a new phase of deterrence in which vital and military targets are targeted in the heart of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh and Jeddah. Air bases such as King Khalid Air Base, one of the largest in Saudi Arabia, and King Abdulaziz Airport at Aramco Refinery were among the most important targets targeted. These goals were chosen based on operational priorities that would have a direct impact on the Saudi economic system and air force.
Second; The operation proved the failure of the American Patriot defense systems and all British defense systems such as the KAM and GIRF systems and ground-based radar systems. The operation showed that the drones penetrated to a depth of 1,300 kilometers in Saudi Arabia; Detect these drones without being intercepted or by radar and warning systems. So the failure of these technologies was terrible and catastrophic.
Third; The operation came shortly after threats from the commanders of the Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition. This signaled the high progress of the Basij and the high operational readiness of the Yemeni Armed Forces to respond to the aggressor coalition with a swift and swift operation.
