On February 3, local time, Yemen's Houthis issued a statement strongly condemning the US attack on Iraq and Syria, saying that it was a barbaric and blatant aggression, violating the sovereignty of Iraq and Syria and blatantly violating international law.
On February 4, local time, after many places in Yemen were attacked by the United States and Britain on the night of the 3rd, members of the Houthi Politburo in Yemen issued a statement saying that the Houthi military action against Israel will continue until Israel's aggression against the Gaza Strip stops.
01 Hardcore Houthis
What kind of organization is the Houthis?
Why did he dare to openly confront the global hegemon of the United States?
As the saying goes, located in the Middle East powder keg, step on the eagle sauce little overlord.
He is not afraid of anyone's threat, and his hardcore is the strongest on the surface.
In 2015, Saudi Arabia formed an Arab coalition to launch a 12-nation attack on Yemen's Houthi rebels.
100 aircraft, 150,000 soldiers and naval units participated in the war.
Properly"There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy makes them for us".
The Arab coalition became the captain of their transport group.
This is tantamount to the Saudi coalition feeding the Houthis bite by mouth.
The 12 countries of hard steel have been fighting for eight years, and they have not been destroyed, but have become stronger and stronger.
02 The origin of the Houthis
In fact, the origins of the Houthis date back to 1992
At that time, the Houthis were more radical and more distant from the ideas of the moderates.
In the context of the long-term chaos in the Middle East, the Houthis have become more and more courageous.
In 2022, the Houthis even held a massive military parade.
The soldiers wore new uniforms, instead of their old robes and slippers, and held shabby AK47s.
In one fell swoop, it became a regular army that could single-handedly take on other countries.
Their training and equipment have been greatly upgraded.
Even in the face of such a formidable opponent, the Houthis actually captured the largest air base occupied by the Yemeni army, captured a lot of MiG-29 fighters, and captured a lot of advanced equipment from the Arab coalition forces.
On the part of the Army. It is equipped with about 3,000 main battle tanks, more than 5,000 armored vehicles and more than 2,000 artillery pieces of various types.
On the Air Force. It is equipped with more than 850 MiG-29 fighters, 48 F15 fighters and 14 Typhoon fighters, and it has all the C130 transport planes and early warning aircraft.
The Navy turned out to have a secret submarine force, as well as drones and missiles of unknown origin.
The overall equipment is already among the best in the Middle East.
And they also have very strong combat effectiveness.
Although the Houthis are not currently recognized by the United Nations and the United States.
But as his power and influence continue to grow, it will have a far-reaching impact on the security and stability of the Middle East.
