Two months ago, when the Palestinian-Israeli conflict first broke out, the author said that Britain and France were likely to run to the Middle East like the United States (search for "3 Tactics of Arab Defeat of Israel!".The later plot was similar to what the author expected, Britain and France ** appeared in the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and other places, and the French ** ship was even more active, and on December 9, it also intercepted two Houthi drones in the Red Sea;
also said that this will be an excellent opportunity for Russia and Iran and other countries to fight the West ** (search for "Hit the American aircraft carrier, country X ushered in a godsend!".The Houthis are indeed using drones and missiles to attack the West**, but the equipment is too poor and the effect is not good.
In fact, if Russia and Iran are stronger, there are at least 3 ways to kill the West**.
1. Hit directly with anti-ship missiles.
The Mediterranean Sea is like a small pond, and the Red Sea is more like a small ditch, and the sea area is very narrow. If Russia and Iran arm Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Libya and other Middle East with some powerful anti-ship missiles, it will not be too easy to fight the West, it's completely a dog shut.
2. Swap ratio.
For example, on December 10, the U.S. Navy issued a ** statement that the USS Carney used the Standard 2 to intercept 18 Houthi drones and four missiles.
You know, a drone costs tens of thousands of dollars, and a "Standard-2" interceptor missile is as high as $2.4 million.
The New York Times previously reported that the unit price of the "Witness"-136 is about 20,000 US dollars, and the exchange ratio with the "Standard-2" is as high as 1:120, which is simply too cost-effective.
If you aid the Houthis with 100,000 drones, it will only be a matter of 2 billion US dollars, and the United States, Israel, Britain and France can be beaten by using drones alone.

3. Bullying** has a limited amount of ammunition.
There are only a few dozen anti-ship missiles that can be carried by one country, and even if the United States, Israel, Britain, and France each send about 20 missiles to form a huge fleet of 100 ships, it can carry more than 10,000 missiles (in fact, it is far from reaching the above figures).
The Houthis launched 20,000 drones out, which can directly consume the missiles of the West, and when their missiles are exhausted, the Houthi drones and missiles will pass in waves, which should be spectacular.
These ideas can only be realized with the strong support of countries such as Iran and Russia, and can only be imagined by a Houthi rebel. But it's a pity that in the face of such a good opportunity to do the West, Russia and Iran seem to be afraid of getting into trouble, and they are a little timid, even if Russia is sinking by the West one after another in the Black Sea.
