The list of high-quality authors is ready to attack the United States immediately**!They issued a declaration of battle, and the United States weighed it carefully
Yemen's Houthi rebels recently issued a warning, saying that they would immediately attack the US ship, and the tension in the Red Sea region has spread to the US military. According to the Dec. 28 channel, the Houthis convened a special meeting to discuss the consequences of militarization in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and to issue a strong warning to the United States and its allies. Houthi Rear Admiral Atifi said that if the United States continues to invade the Palestinian people or threaten Yemen's security, the Houthis will severely crack down on US ships.
The Houthis have close ties to Hamas, both of which are backed by Iran. In support of Hamas in its fight against Israel, the Houthis announced attacks on all Israeli-related ships passing through the Red Sea until Israel ceases its military operations in Gaza. In order to deter the Houthis, the United States dispatched the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group to the Red Sea, and three guided missile destroyers, the USS Carney, the USS Mason, and the USS Hadner, are on standby in the Red Sea to intercept drones and missiles that the Houthis may launch at any time. According to The Times, the United States has deployed more troops in the Red Sea in recent weeks than it has in decades.
In addition, in the name of maintaining the safety of navigation in the Red Sea, the United States has formed an international joint force, including 20 countries, including the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles, and Spain. According to a December 20 Bloomberg report, the United States and its allies are considering the possibility of striking Houthi positions in Yemen because they believe that the mere creation of an international joint force is not enough to eliminate the threat of commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
On December 22, the U.S. news "The War Zone" (The War Zone), citing anonymous U.S. sources, said that the United States is seriously considering actions to respond to the threat of attacks on ships in the Red Sea, one of which is to strike the radar facilities of the Houthis.
The militarization of the United States poses a serious threat to the security of the Houthis in Yemen. Major General Abdul Karim of the Houthis said that all security forces are already on high alert and ready to cooperate with the armed forces to defend *** and take active military action if necessary to preserve sovereignty and counter possible threats to Palestine.
Recently, the Houthis have used drones and ballistic missiles to carry out more than 100 attacks on 12 merchant ships in the Red Sea, some of which have been successfully intercepted by US ships during patrols in the Red Sea. Although the U.S. Navy did not specifically disclose what kind of defense its ships used in response to Houthi attacks, multiple analysts explained that the U.S. ships are equipped with a range of defense systems, including surface-to-air missiles and missiles, in addition to electronic warfare capabilities, which are capable of cutting communication links between drones and their controllers on the beach.
However, no matter what system the U.S. warships use to counter the Houthis, they will need to carefully weigh the cost, inventory, and effectiveness of their decisions. For example, the SM-6 missiles used by the USS Raboone missile destroyer are capable of shooting down a variety of ballistic missiles, but each missile costs more than $4 millionThe SM-2 missiles, which are relatively inferior in performance, also cost about $2.5 million each;And the Sea Sparrow missile (ESSM), which is used to intercept drones, also costs more than $1 million. By comparison, the drones used by the Houthis cost only $2,000 each.
In addition to the cost factor, once involved in a military conflict, it is difficult for the US military to avoid personnel**. On December 22, Republican Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas, USA, said in an interview with Fox News that while the US military has the ability to force the Houthis to stop attacks on ships in the Red Sea in a short period of time, such continued attacks could lead to US personnel** and cause serious damage to the US economy.
Now, the Houthis have made it clear that they are ready to attack the United States immediately, and this is not unfounded. Not long ago, a US Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was shot down by the Houthis while carrying out a mission off the coast of Yemen, but the US military has not yet responded to this. Therefore, in response to the Houthi statement, the United States needs to seriously assess the situation and urgently persuade Israel to cease fire in order to ensure security in the Red Sea.
