Yemen’s Technological Superiority Surprises US-Saudi Merchants of War

By:Kayhan Int’l 

Friday’s downing of yet another American drone by the Ansarallah Movement again made military experts monitoring the almost 5-year war wonder whether the Yemenis are in possession of daily improving sophisticated technology or whether the U.S. has supplied obsolete weaponry to Saudi Arabia in return for hundreds of billions of dollars.

Whatever the truth, the fact that cannot be denied that Yemen’s indomitable defenders who on September 14 carried out a spectacular drone attack that crippled the giant Abqaiq oil installations in retaliation for the Riyadh regime’s war crimes, have time and again proved the effectiveness of their homemade projectiles in penetrating the Patriot missile defence system which the U.S. has set up throughout Saudi Arabia.

The Scan Eagle unmanned aircraft was on a spying mission when it was downed in northern Yemen.

The Americans and the Saudis have both been embarrassed by the loss of a costly drone, but instead of coming to their senses, they continue their bombing campaign, which according to the London-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project (ACLED), which tracks confirmed fatalities in the conflict and claims to reliable, the number of men, women, and children killed by the Saudis and the Emiratis over the past five years crossed the 100,000 mark.

This year alone, the coalition of criminals, dent the determination to defend their homeland of the Ansarallah fighters, has so far killed 20,000 Yemeni civilians in the mostly cowardly manner.

It is too high a death toll, but the Yemenis, especially the northerners, have refused to bow down to the Saudi-UAE invaders, unlike the people, tribes, and militias of southern Yemen, who seem to have submitted to the aggressors, chiefly because of traitors in their midst like the so-called government led by the fugitive from justice Mansour Hadi.

The Ansarallah have appealed to their brethren in Aden and other parts to stand up, but so far except for a few, the call for national unity has been drowned in the sectarian propaganda of the Wahhabi cult which has tried to depict the Zaydi Shi’a Muslim followers of the School of the Blessed Household (Ahl al-Bayt) of Prophet Muhammad (SAWA), as Iranian agents.

Nothing could be far from the truth, although there is no denying of the fact that Iran, as per the articles of the constitution of the Islamic Republic, is a staunch supporter of the rights of the Muslims and oppressed anywhere in the world, including the southern Yemenis, the moment they decide to throw off the Saudi-UAE yoke from their necks.

Meanwhile, reports speak of deliberate bombing by the desert-dweller Saudis of the fabled terraced farmlands of Yemen, which over the years have suffered thousands of airstrikes, in addition to the 800 bombings that struck local food markets, and about 500 airstrikes that hit silos and other food storage facilities.

These are indeed crimes against humanity by the coalition of the cowards. Unfortunately the UN has turned a blind eye to the destruction of Yemen’s agriculture that is causing malnutrition and famine in a country, which unlike Saudi Arabia and the UAE, was not just self-sufficient in this vital field, but used to export fruits and vegetables to the Persian Gulf markets.

In view of these facts, it should not surprise anyone if the Yemeni decide to carry out a retaliatory operation greater in magnitude than the Abqaiq attack with the technology they have at their disposal which is capable of neutralizing whatever state-of-the-art military hardware the Americans can supply to the Saudis.
