It has been more than two weeks since the United States and Britain directed the Houthis into Yemen from January 12. During this period, the United States and Britain continued to bomb many targets in the Yemeni Houthi-controlled areas of Sana'a, the western Red Sea city of Hodeidah, and the northern Saada province, but the actual results received were not obvious, and the Houthis still fired missiles at the cargo ships of the United States, Britain and Israel in the Red Sea, and continued to hit the targets, although they did not sink the ships, but they were enough to achieve the goal of blockading the Red Sea.
The Houthis attacked Israeli ships in the Red Sea, and the United States began to organize a joint operation of "Prosperity Guardians" to carry out joint escort operations in the Red Sea, but the actual escort effect was not good, and in the end there was no way for the United States and Britain to directly start bombing the Yemeni Houthis, with the intention of breaking through the blockade of the Yemeni Houthis to the Red Sea.
In the past two weeks, the U.S. and British bombardments have been intense, but the actual effect has been small, and the Houthis have firmly blocked the Red Sea, and have expanded from simple attacks on Israeli-related ships to American and British ships. Many U.S. cargo ships were hit by Houthi missiles, and although there were no personnel, the damage to the ships was still very serious. Discourage other ships that cross the Red Sea, and stop at the Red Sea. Although the bombing campaign of the United States and Britain was not a failure, it did not achieve the expected combat objectives at all, and unless the United States and Britain can send ground troops to Yemen, it will be difficult to eliminate Yemen's blockade and threat to the Red Sea. The high military spending and the consumption of ** ammunition, even the wealthy United States and Great Britain are estimated to be painful.
The Houthis are becoming more and more courageous in the bombing of the United States and Britain, constantly hitting American ships, although there are many missiles intercepted by Britain and the United States, but they also consume Britain and the United States, after all, the cost of the Houthis is lower than that of the United States and Britain. The Houthis have fully carried forward the style of the "local snake" in which "a strong dragon cannot suppress the local snake", seized advantage of the geographical advantages and people, and adopted practical and effective combat tactics to entangle the United States and Britain in the Red Sea and drag them in the Middle East.
Because although the Houthis are not capable of defeating the Anglo-American coalition, the Houthis do not have to engage in a desperate frontal battle with Britain and the United States, as long as they can blockade the Red Sea, it is enough to choke Israel's throat and slowly "bleed" the United States and Britain. The United States and Britain will not be able to completely eliminate the military strength of the Houthis as long as they do not send ground troops; As long as the United States and Britain send ground troops into Yemen, the Houthis can turn Yemen into the grave of the United States and Britain. The guerrilla and sparrow warfare of the Houthis will be an important magic weapon to defeat the United States and the United Kingdom.
