US Forces vs Houthi Militia In The Red Sea | Balance Of Power | Insider

Houthi are the first in the world to use ASBM directly in war

"Irianian Backed" vs "US Backed Isreal/Mossad"

@1:16 I was on that ship, USS Laboon during that strike. That was headed to Syria.

Another fact is that the drone or missiles used by the Houthi cost between 3,000 -50,000 dollars. The missiles used by the US to shoot done the Houthi droes/missiles cost between one - 2 million dollars!

Thanks for your honesty.

Some very useful information here. Well done.

Loved this documentary

Our weapons are overpriced.

dude looked like AI generated.

lol @1:50 he calls it a 'pocket of yemen they control', google 'houthi controlled yemen' and 'yemen population density map' and you will find they overlap.

Excellent commentary, shipmate! I served on the USS George Washington (CVN-73) during Operation Southern Watch (OSW), and spent some time in the Middle East. All I could say is that you were spot on, non-biased, and straight to the point. I wish more reporters could be so professional! BZ!

Thank you for your service, Sir.

The US and it's dogs are losing to a bunch of teenagers in flip-flops ThE BeSt ArMy iN tHe WoRlD

We're talking about asymmetrical warfare, yet don't discount the Houthis. Remember history has taught us the underdogs can lose the battles but still win the war. America vs UK, NVA vs USA, Afghan vs USSR and USA, Somalia vs USA.

So some conclusions. The weapons of the West, despite all their technical perfection (or rather precisely because of their technical perfection), are inferior to the weapons used by the Houthis in effectiveness. And here we are not even talking about hitting targets. The Houthis turn out to be the winners when their missile, at a cost of ten thousand dollars, is fired several anti-missiles, at a cost of up to a million dollars. Their winning strategy is to force the United States to use its weapons as often as possible. The degree of risk, even if most Houthi attacks are repelled, some of them reach the target. And it pays off not even because of the huge gap in price between the tool used and the target it hits. And due to the fact that the possibility of suffering from such an attack makes the risk of sailing there unacceptable for peaceful vessels. It looks like a losing situation.

That's why it's called asymmetric warfare. On the one hand, multi-million weapons with expensively trained personnel, on the other, relatively cheap weapons that can be operated by talented and fanatical teenagers. Guess who´s winning.

So .. with all those powerful toys .. why Houthis keep launching missiles ?

the Houthis are doing this for the Palestinians no matter how how advanced your technology, improvised stragey and adaptability can be just as lehtal.

Don't forget Iran is aiding them. Stand strong free world.

We need AWACS in a networked drone system that can autonomously loiter land recharge and take back off. Palmer Lucky has some interesting new weapons featuring a Lattice network.
