How did the Houthis become so powerful?https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iranian-arms-advice-helped-yemens-houthis-seize-key-red-sea-city-sources-say-2026-09-10/https://apnews.com/article/mideast-news-gaza-israel-yemen-iran-lebanon-4de45665de2221865501a4c512daa86d
In most of these countries the prime factor in success is money and training. The Houthis had both and usually enough to outdo the competition.
It's more over than previously believed.

>>65499493They are humilaiting a much better funded and equipped army. And this isn't occupation/guerilla outlasting stuff, they're winning conventional engagements. How they're accomplishing this is a question for /k/.
>>65499499>>this is a question for /k/so you're admitting to being here for the explicit purpose of constantly spamming these offtopic inane questions? Go read a book/pdf or ask your retarded brown cohorts at /pol/
>>65499456They have real unity, I think. Arab states require ideological leadership to be semi-decent and they have that in their prophet-king leader, Abdul al-Houthi, who is basically ruling them as a revolutionary aristocrat.
>>65499499The Saudis are just that retarded.
>>65499520Okay so knock him off and watch as the whole thing splinters between various warlords who all have different interpretations of what the fuck ol' Abdul wanted. Iran would have to expend more effort to tard-wrangle them.
>>65499543Well, this one's seems to have a proper succession system. current guy succeeded his brother, who had previously succeeded their father. Besides, just let them have their own kingdom with their weird little sect.
>>65499478>Hasn't Iran been their primary benefactor? Is Iran's ability to support them that great?They also hold the major ports, cities and the major economy is mostly in their hands. The areas they control are about 70% to 80% of the population.
>>65499520>writers make up Houthi faction in season 3 to provide some background news story>need to fill in more fluff by season 6 as it became an actual plot>oh yeah, let's say they're led by.. errrr... Al-Houthi... Yes, Abdul Al-Houthi
>>65499456Y'know it's weird how every time I see a picture of them they look like literal retards, like just dudes in t-shirts with weapons and maybe a plate carrier and a hat for equipment at most, with shitty RPG-7s and AKs. But when you look at the facts they're by far the most based and successful of the Iran proxies. First they kicked the shit out of the Saudis who had F-15s and Abrahams, then they bankrupted the Israeli Port of Eilat in a few months by blockading them. The Israelis tried and failed to do anything about it. Then the US went in, achieved absolutely fuckall, and then said "ok you can bomb Israel as long as you don't hit OUR ships" and then basically left them alone. Basically they're the real world GLA
>>65499643They are objectively inbred tribals, but they have Iranian trad wranglers who can make effective use of them rather than having them behave like typical jihadis, little things like not charging blindly into battle and maintaining their positions.
>>65499538It's this

>>65499643who is their jarmen kell?
Anon, during the Gulf War, when Iraq invaded Saudi Arabian territory in Operation Desert Shield, the reaction of the Saudi Arabian army- which had way more superior first world weapons than iraq- was to abandon their posts & vehicles and run the fuck away.That is what the Houthis are up against.
>>65499456Step 1 is to have a plan. Most military leaders skip over that part.

Motehrfuckers just pulled an amphibious operation taking over a bunch of islands in the Red Sea.
>>65499931And they didn’t need a dedicated branch like the marines to do that
>>65499456houthis are probably the most effective and competent paramilitary militia in the world right now, far surpassing even the Taliban in hardiness and decentralization, but also having enough tech and know-how to operate stuff like ballistic missiles, drones, and a decentralized but effective AD system that tracked even the F-35 last year and brought down dozens of aircraft over the past 10 years.
