BREAKING: YEMEN’S HOUTHIS HAVE COMPLETELY CAPTURED THE BAB EL-MANDEB COASTLINE — seizing MOCHA, taking DHUBAB and capturing the strategic ZUQAR ISLAND in a series of rapid gains that now put the entire chokepoint under COMPLETE HOUTHI CONTROL, per AFP and Reuters sources.

>>542348204HA boob.
>>542348204Saudi backed forces have completely collapsed and are now being held outside Aden with the brigades (locals) refusing to let them in unless they drop there weapons
>>542348204LETS SEE EM HOLD ITHOOTI AND IRANNY TERRORISM IS ABOUT FIRING OFF A SINGLE DRONE FROM THEIR HIDEY HOLES TO FUCK WITH INSURANCE COVERAGETHEIR OVEREXTENDING NOW OUT IN THE OPEN THEIR GONNA GET BLOWN UP
They’re going close the Red Sea and Strait, aren’t they?

>>542348204I'm surprised the US hasn't intervened. I guess they don't have any spare assets to anymore.
Master strategizing Trump.
>>542348650you'd have to go around southern africa now where the waves are 40 feet
>>542348281lel
>fagalkek
>>542348602Imho they should pull a Dunkirk and evac to socotra island asap
>>542348650Looks like they just did
>>542348776they will be trying to get into Aden to get the nearest flight out of Yemen, they dont exactly blend in, they are mostly sudanese and south americanthey get caught in Aden if it falls, they are fucked
How does the US even manage to be this incompetent? I can understand why they lost in Afghanistan and Vietnam since the insurgents played a different game but the houthis are literally just blitzing through with maneuvers. They are defenseless targets for jets and the US can survey them 24/7 with radar and drones.Are their own generals sabotaging the war since they no longer want to be good goys for Israel?
>>542348204the first major use of AI deception in warfare being the houthis tricking saudi mercs into retreating is so fucking funny
>>542348712If it doesn’t affect Israel then it doesn’t matter.
>>542348672The OP's map refers to mocha not Mokha.
>>542349027The US doesnt want to get involved, that stretches them a lot, the Saudis were depending on mercs and they pretty much folded all at once and ran to Aden
>>542349027houthis have been destroying american drones since 2024. they also fired off balistic missiles to usa warships and aircraft carreer.(first time anti ship balistic missiles used in real conflict) houthis have SAM's and other hight tech stuff.
>>542348204>BeyLUL
>>542349027Lack of munitions is my bet. You are absolutely correct. The US shouldn't be having any issues dealing with the houthis but snice we are it's due to a our shrinking munitions and saving what we do still have for Iran.
>I SAID WE ARE LANDING AT MOCHA; WHAT's A MOCHA ANYWAY?>HAHAHAHAHA>lolololol
>>542349107It does, massively Its their biggest trade route
>>542349027It could be that they are now out of range for an attack. Recently Iran started lobbing missiles over U.S. ships and as a result they moved further away. Th U.S. goal now had shifted to sanctions and strangling the economy in Iran. They are still betting on the people in Iran to overthrow their government.
>>542349034>major use of AI deceptionQRD?
Mokha in the news has reminded me that coffee is from Yemen. Is it actually good from there?
>>542349253usa navy lost to houthis in 2024.
>>542348204Sigh, I just want my Funko Pops
>>542349034Qrd? That sounds funny
>>542348712>I'm surprised the US hasn't intervened.They did, three times. The Houthis won.America is a paper mobility scooter.
>>542349034tell me more
>>542349253The U.S. has tons of munitions, just not the kind they can use from a distance anymore. They have to get up close with fighter jets and Iran has shown they can shoot them down.
>>542349277>Th U.S. goal now had shifted to sanctionslike usa never sanctioned iran before?
Dementia is contagious.
If they can cut off Taiz they’ll knock out like a third of the Yemen army and leave Aden exposed to attack from all sides. If they take Aden they’ve basically won and just need to sweep what’s left out of Tarim
>>542348204Nice
>>542349284they generated a fake audio of some kind of general who said that the situation was collapsing and that you should retreat, or something like that. the audio was spread by major channels on social media which created the impression that everything had already imploded before it actually had. indeed if you look at the rapid houthi advances, much of it is thanks to saudi-backed forces running away kek.
>day 194 of special 12-day operationwhere have i heard this one before?
>>542349338wouldn't make a difference anyway, russia drops tens of thousands of glide bombs on ukraine every single year and they're still crawling forward at a snails pace. now imagine having to do this in iran where if you look at the map you see nothing but one mountain ridge after another, all solid granite rock. it's the most unconquerable country on the planet. logistically impassable terrain. perfect ambush territory. not even trump with all his retarded ideas would be dumb enough to invade a country as big and populous as iran.
>>542349380based, exemplary infowar
>>542349331they used an AI voice of a local commander to claim that the saudi's had abandoned them and he was ordering the remaining troops into a full retreat. they attacked immediately after
Haven't read any news outlet (screencap on pol) linking this with the sudden rise of oil. I think this is more relevant than the Hormuz strait.>>542348776>pull a Dunkirk and create a second Taiwan in SocotraPowerful
The UK and Bahrain have requested an urgent meeting at the UN Security Council to discuss the escalation in hostilities between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces, with the UN special envoy for Yemen scheduled to brief by video. No resolution is on the table for a vote, and it is unknown whether Russia and China will block potential UNSC action.kek, that didnt take long, Bahrain already shitting themselves
>>542348619The US military HATES this one simple trick!Click here to find out more
>>542348204Based and comfy thread. What awesome news for the day before Friday. It should be a comfy weekend
>>542349494please don't assume to know what dementia donny would or wouldn't do
>>542349494Completely different situation though. Russia doesn't solve their problem through completely depopulating Ukraine; America does.
>>542349600<3
Still not confirmed but rumours increasing that Perim Island has been taken
>>542349296It's actually from Ethiopia, but Yemenis bred it selectively into modern coffee and then popularized it.
>>542349027>How does the US even manage to be this incompetent?Nigga what did they do this time? Seems like they told the Saudis to keep the houthis in check, and we want it or not they did open the strait after USA stopped bombing them.
The Yeman's "Revenge Of Allah" empire has begun, Saudis going to get BTFO!!
The Houthis are coming !!!
you know it has to be said that the saudis engineered the largest terrorist attack on american soil in history to prop up the bush family and in return we just watched them get fucking shrekt
>>542349543I remember a thread a day or two ago about how Saudi forces and their local NAFO trannies were all like>We're winning Yemen war! Take that Iran!And now Saudi and their masters be like>Help, we're winning!
kekwho the fuck is going to get that Island backSaudi cant, they can only bomb it and no-one is going to be happy with anyone bombing the straitThe US cant, they 100% dont want to be involvedThe brigades in Yemen cant, they just retreatedI am genuinely shocked how fast this all just unraveled
Praise be to the Houthis. I hope they go full scorched earth with the shipping lane after this. They owe it to Iran at this point. >>542349874Things are moving so fast that this map is already quite out of date, lol.
>>542348527
>>542348258If it's a chinese vessel it's fine>>542349027It's straight political unwillingness. USA can't do anything about Iran because of Iraq basically being hostile. Firing competent people also plays a part too I suppose.
>>542348204>Beylul>Assab>Dhubab>Fagal
>>542350117they will be shitting it as well and they should bethis is fucking hugebiggest thing to happen since the war startedeither the US commits or relations are going to fracture massively
>>542350004Prepare your anus
>>542348204It's really interesting how these sand people are able to put together their own missiles and other equipment.
>>542348204Who lives on the other side ?
>>542351045Unironically, that is why Israel banned pretty much everything from going into Gaza. Never underestimate the ability of subhumans to turn an everyday object into a dangerous nuisance.
>>542349027Empire in decline
>>542351397That's a really mean thing to say about Jews anon lol
A US Navy Saildrone got hit in the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC announced that they disabled it.https://x.com/bonzerbarry/status/2098093430870094290
>>542349027Turns out boots on the ground are essential to actually move the needle. Planes can't stay in the sky 24/7 and their munitions are horrendously expensive.
Pakistan turns down Saudi request to strike Houthis.Pakistan says the Mecca Pact of mutual defense “doesn’t cover a pre-existing condition,” so it only covers wars started after the pact was signed. It also covers only state actors, not non-state actors (and perhaps preferably those within reach of Pakistani power projection).
>>542349027Its literally not our war.
>>542348204>HOUTHIS>BAB EL-MANDEB>DHUBAB>ZUQAR>Reuters
>>542351653>doesn’t cover a pre-existing conditionThat is so funny lmao
>>542349253No dumbass mutt lmao not because of muh munitions, is because your barely 50% White anymore, you are genetically unworthy of winning
>An underrated part of Yemeni army propaganda is pretending they are sandal wearing tribals on local stimulants and not a modern motorized army with modern missiles and AA capabilities and extremely disciplined about digging in and making defensive works.
and brent crude oil is at $107+, up over 5% today
>In the past 24 hours, the Saudi air force conducted 64 airstrikes distributed across the provinces of Taiz, Hodeidah, Marib, and Al-Jawf, using F15 and Typhoon aircraft that took off from King Fahd Air Base in Taif and King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait. Meanwhile, by the grace of God, our armed forces were able to confront a combat formation just moments ago in Taiz province and force it to withdraw by targeting it with several locally manufactured air-to-ground missiles.-houthi
is this true?
>>542351653I would hazard a guess that the Houthis are being trained by Russians and Iranians. The Saudis meanwhile are incapable of being trained. Every video I see shows their units are behaving like drone warfare and SRBMs don't exist. Abrams driving around with no cope cage or applique armor whatsoever. Reminds me of the cavalry charges against machine guns from WWI.
>>542348258Don't worry, you are right at the doorstep of a new trade route. [spoiler]If you leave a tip for the nuclear ice breakers.[/spoiler]
>>542348204>yemen>houthis>bab el-mandeb>mocha>dhubab>zuqar>afpgod im so glad i dont know or care about any of these things
No they haven't.
>>542348672Kek those look like a group of Home Depot terrorists
>>542352899Your lengthy trade route relies on bab al mandeb which is on Houtis hands.
>>542352899>inb4 current warming trend decides to cool instead, closing off the northern passageIt's happened before, pretty quickly too. The Younger-Dryas period is proof of this.
>>542351632Everyone sane knew that for decades as math simply didn’t add up but they were drowned out by a bunch of /k/osher mental cripples who despite throwing around buzzwords have no fucking idea how conflicts function. America defeated sub-par politically mutilated army in a limited engagement (cause that’s literally what Desert Storm was, few engagements and Iraqis started retreating) and then based on that outlier they deduced you don’t actually need infantry or artillery or anything, just hyper-expensive planes and boutique-quantity gizmos cause every army you fight are gonna be Iraqi conscripts in a desert.
>>542350209Agreed. Bring everything in the Red Sea to a standstill.
>>542351237Eritrea but used to be Ethiopia
>>542348672Me on the right
This was also demonstrated in Ukraine. Using late Soviet equipment and limited quantities of Western AD (cause they don’t have much to spare), Ukrainians basically restricted Russian Air Force to lobbing cheap guided bombs on the front. Russians adapted and are now pummeling them, but do you see Ukrainian Army collapsing? Instead of learning their lessons, they just rushed to laugh at Russians even though Russians don’t depend on air power nearly as much as they do, doctrinally. Insane hubris, common to all fading empires. It’s both fun and frustrating watching it live.
>>542353282iraq was fucked up country even before desert storm because of spending a decade fighting iran
>>542353761Iraq in theory had a serious army but in reality they didn’t even fight that hard. But to give you an analogy what Americans did in Desert Storm was the same thing Russians did in Ukraine in 2022. If Ukraine folded after 4 days, like Iraq did, Russians would’ve achieved a glorious victory of same quality. Imagine if you derrived your lessons about war from something like that. That’s basically what Americans and NATO did for 30 years.

>>542349339It would be fair to say that we're trying to downgrade to what we were doing before, yes. It's much weaker now since Iran isn't laying down and taking it like they were under the previous Ayatollah. Obviously the other options are ground invasion or nukes, but I think we're just unwilling to really commit to either, and neither's really a good idea in the first place so...back to sanctions it is. It's an anarcho-tyrannical idea at root I think, we're doing the sanctions not because they will work but because then we can plausibly say we're doing something (sanctions).Which all SUCKS, I just want my hedonistic pleasures since it's all this country is fucking good for and they're RUINING it.
Airstrikes started in MochaSaudi is going to get hit again tonight
BIG: CNN reports that 100–200 U.S. military advisers are now on the ground in Saudi Arabia providing real-time intelligence and targeting support against the Houthis — a significant escalation of involvement. A joint forces command was set up in recent weeks after Iran ramped up support to the Houthis, including deploying hundreds of IRGC officers to Yemen with the goal of shutting down the Bab-el-Mandeb strait. The U.S. is sharing a Maven-like targeting tool and geospatial support but is not directly participating in strikes or refueling Saudi jets. This comes as Houthis seized Mokha and now threaten the strait, while the U.S. military is already stretched thin after six months of war with Iran around Hormuz. One source's quote captures the tension: This is not the old days.Source: CNN
Danger alerts issued in Abha and Khamis Mushait, Saudi Arabia
>>542351653Puts all the Article 5 talk into perspective, none of these agreements actually mean anything. When the moment comes nobody will allow themselves to be compelled to act against their own interest, they'll just mumble something and do what they were going to do anyway.
>>542358310kekall article 5 states is that the countries involved have to respondits got fuck all about what the response has to bea strongly worded social media post satisfies the article
>>542357802great satan>>542357122consume more good goy
>>542357802>this is not the old days.these retarded fucking jews really thought a nation was just its economical inertia and they could have an american empire without americans and just ... idk have ranjeet do everything. ranjeet doesnt give a shit except on the streets, yeah ranjeet will put up with diversity and tranny nigger hell and a low trust no maintenance society ..... you also only get the fruits of that rotten tree back. which means you dont get to sabre rattle and pretend you got a big dick, you dont get to bomb arabs with impunity and pretend youre a good guy while bombing kids, and you dont get a stable empire printing you infinite value. enjoy banning beef and giving ranjeet his infinity supplement checks though i guess. retard kikes.
>>542358421/pol/ exclusive for you; if Israel attacks Turkey, I have been authorized by President Trump himself to be given a government X (formerly Twitter) account and a $100k salary to shitpost about Israel, which will be our fulfillment of Article 5.
Still waiting on news from Perim Island Loads of reports but they all stem from 1 source thats not verifiedI reckon the fighting is ongoing because where the fuck are any defensive forces going to goIts probably down to the last man
>>542349027Because a majority of voters voted for Trump. Everything else is cope.
>>542348258The first container ship from China just arrived in Europe, using the Arctic route through Russia's coastal water. It only took 20 days.
>>542359530>Loads of reports but they all stem from 1 source thats not verifiedIsn't that source Saudi media? Why would they report something like that without confirmation?
>>542359683Qatar, but I 100% think its an ongoing fight, just not confirmed as taken
>>542351963but the 100% shitskin country is doing better
>>542348204So now the US military has a double extra cock blocked mocha.
>>542359857thats because they have a country still. in america you dont have a white country or a black country you have no country, it is a bunch of ethnic groups in de facto but understated flux for control. youd get marginally better results from indian troops if the economic zone was indian soil even if it was still shit results.

HOUTHI BLITZKRIEG HOUTHI BLITZKRIEG HOUTHI BLITZKRIEG "A Curse Upon The Jews"
>>542349027>the Us can survey them 24/7 with jets and dronesWe literally tried that during operation prosperity garden. We failed. Their air defense is comprised entirely of shoot and scoot SAMs (buks, oshkas etc) thus our SEAD operations are worthless as 99.9% of the time the radar are off. They only turn on with other sightings. This forces us to use standoff munitions only, and we have burned our stockpile of standoff munitions through the last four years.>ukraine>vs Yemen>vs IranAnd we only produce about 1B1B load of stand off munitions every three days. So we have to directly fly over the target, but that it a suicide mission and with the F-35 having a sub 30% combat availability, well we just dont have the airframes. And even the number of pilots is coming up short.Tl:dr the US is out of ammo, running low on planes and personnel in theatre. Its unironically over.>>542349284Fake btw. The reason the saudi mercs cut and run is because they are mercs and their supply lines and command staff were all blown up. The collapse happened BEFORE that message went out.
>>542352610>being trained by Russians and IraniansLmao, no. The houthis are outperforming BOTH Russia and Iran and frankly arussia and Iran need to bring in Hourthi advisers right now. Suddenly ships will actually start sinking, and NATO will start taking unsustainable losses supporting Ukraine. (The houthis wouldnt wait for weapons and men to cross the border before firing).
>>542361449More like saudi merc collapse, but yeah. If they can secure Aden its all over. No ports, no resupply, no payments mercs GTFO.
>>542361832>>542362184I don't blame 'em, if I was a merc I'd cut and run. No point if you're too dead to get the check.

>>542349027>How does the US even manage to be this incompetent?DEI and ESG in the american military started with Obama in 2006. Furthermore, the purchasing power of the dollar has been debased with about 10% annually since 30+ years, but the american military budget has not grown by 10% every year for the last 30+ years, so in real term their military is running of a fraction of the budget they had in 1990 while the officer corps consists of useless women, browns, jews and antifa infiltrators. To offset their perpetually shrinking budget, the american military decided to raid their maintenance budget 20+ years ago. This means that their ships and short installations are so decayed that they simply cant keep up with repairs and ships regularly go on patrol with critical subsystems not working or only partially working. So they can pose and pretend, but they cant really slug it out. If the iranians starts to chuck missiles at the american sea blockade they will force the americans to withdraw because some of these ships are so decayed they cant effectively defend themselves and the missiles they carry are produced in small numbers in a kind of botique workshop instead of a proper automated factory so eventually the USN will run out of defensive missiles in global storage and then its skedaddle time for real.
>>542362797It’s not just inflation, US military is just corrupt like the rest of their system. They’re buying trash cans for 50000 dollars. That’s not inflation, just grift. MIC owns their Congress, in addition to Jews. They serve several masters, none of them are American people.
>>542362967Imagine how much of their trillion dollar military budget goes to the Epstein class.
>>542349253>Lack of munitions is my bet. You are absolutely correct. The US shouldn't be having any issues dealing with the houthis but snice we are it's due to a our shrinking munitions and saving what we do still have for Iran.Not just that, read USN post incident reports. In one case an USN DDG shot down two F-18s in the Red Sea because the IFF interrogator antenna intermittently ceased to transmit and nobody had fixed that for since it was first reported 3 years before. The amerimutt crew spotted two contacts flying in formation at mach 0.8 at high altitude approaching the carrier and they intepreted that as a missile attack when the IFF didnt return a positive answer. But that was because their antenna was fucked up. Another F-18 went overboard from a carrier in the Red Sea when the carrier made a hard turn because the high friction rubber decking on the elevator had been worn off several years before and never replaced. The aircraft and the towing tractor simply skid over the edge with locked brakes.
>>542357802Oh yeah, Vietnam also started with "military advisors on the ground".
>>542348204This is some Italy invading Greece only to get invaded themselves shit.
>>542348204Yikes duder, looks like will see NAFO troops on beach landings soon
