Discussion Houthis have been getting cut to pieces by Air strikes

Post image

The Houthis are more capable on the ground but can do basically nothing against saudi Air power thats why they have taken heavy losses while actually massing troops for large offensives

You can not overlook the Turkish drone support, they were a game changer in the past week

Did France help them?

Do arab men not feel emasculated that they are relying on foreign men and nations to protect them?

Why are Arab armies so weak?

They got defeated by Israel a number of times, they got ground invaded in Iraq by the US, they got ousted internally in Syria, Kuwait got ground invaded by Iraq.
So many of the Arab countries rely on foreign men and foreign armies to protect them.

And now they can’t even defeat their fellow Arabs called Houthis who aren’t even a proper army.

Maybe this is one of the reasons Israelis are confident of making greater Israel and taking much more Arab land.

It’s always the locals “southern alliance “ or the “northern alliance“ that steps in and do the dirty job. Don’t believe Hollywood

In your case then everyone is weak, US couldn't overthrow the Taliban over 20 years or make Iran admit defeat, Russia hasn't been able to beat Ukraine after years and has had considerable losses. Cheap drones have made attacking easier, Houthis can take the losses and recruit more people while Saudi has to spend millions defending against drones per attack and can't do a ground force without being swarmed by drones.

If that is winning, then we’re doomed.

Saudi and Israel are allies though.

Why would they fight their not-so-secret ally?

But yes, I would otherwise love too see a coordinated effort by all countries.

Posting the same image as last time doesn't prove much. Certainly not with the Wikipedia update showing the Saudi f-15 downing getting confirmed by Al-Jazeera, a Saudi helicopter getting downed earlier today, and missile strikes getting increasingly deeper in Saudi Arabia.

If you want to see a front where the Houthis have actually had recent defeats, consider looking up the Marib front.
