Houthi Rebel Group Retains Around 75% Of Its Offensive Strike Power After U.S.-Led Air Attacks

 

Business Insider: The Houthi rebels likely hid their missiles and drones before the US-led air attacks and retain about 75% of their firepower, report says 

* Despite US attacks, the Houthi rebel group retains around 75% of its offensive strike power. 

* The Iran-backed group was targeted by the US after its continued assaults on Red Sea shipping. 

* The Houthi targeting of ships was a response to Israel's war in Gaza after Hamas' October 7 attacks. 

The Houthi rebels retain around 75% of their missile- and drone-firing capabilities despite US-led attacks against the group in Yemen earlier this week, The New York Times reported, citing US officials. 

Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims II, the director of operations of the Joint Staff, seemed confident on Friday that the US and the UK strikes had achieved their intended goal of disrupting the Houthi's offensive capabilities by targeting munitions depots, missile launching systems and air defense radar systems. 

"We know precisely the capability that the Houthis have been employing against the Red Sea and the Bab al Mandab," Sims II said.

Plus Biden ordered the minimum.

The number of strike packages the US could have delivered and the number of good targets is greater than what the Bidenites ordered hit.

You compare the Houthi TOE to the capabilities of what the US has on stations and you know this to be true.

Biden is a weak old man. He was a weak old man during the Obama admin. When the Osama strike was considered Biden had weak knees that far back.

Biden has all the bravery of a kid brought up spoiled and rich. Putin would make a better US president (if he had been born in the US) temperament-wise and he is fumb duck.
