Recently, the Houthis successfully hit a British oil tanker, causing a violent fire, and the crew has been successfully evacuated. This is a rare victory for the Houthis under the joint air strikes of the United States and Britain and the tight escort of the Red Sea. For a long time, the United States and Britain have repeatedly carried out air strikes in an attempt to strengthen military deterrence against the Houthis, and even named this operation "Poseidon Archer", indicating that this is a long-term and regular operation. However, the Houthis are still able to wield these three axes in the Red Sea using heavy ** drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. The recent hits on a British oil tanker show that the Houthis still have a strong integrated combat capability. And in the face of the US-British air strikes, the Houthis did not suffer much damage. In the war reports released by the United States and Britain, there are only sporadic records of resistance and strikes, which do not seem to have had much impact on the Houthis. This also shows that the Houthis' equipment capabilities and the entire combat system have a characteristic, that is, there is no center. Compared to other armies and organizations, the Houthis do not have a clear leadership structure and system, and they are more flexible in their way of fighting. This fluid, mobile, and dynamic combination of combat methods makes it impossible for the United States to accurately find the targets and methods of attack. Each tribe of the Houthis can be randomly combined to carry out various strikes, which makes their combat form very flexible. Therefore, it seems that the US and British air strikes will not be able to cause real damage to the Houthis. Even under enormous air pressure and tight escorts, the Houthis were able to exploit their operational superiority and even successfully hit their targets. In the face of ground combat, the US-British coalition forces are likely to find themselves in a difficult situation. If absolute superiority cannot be established through air strikes, then they may find themselves in an even more difficult situation through ground operations. The fact that the Houthis were able to hit British tankers shows that neither escorts nor air strikes had the desired effect. This is a headache for decision-makers, firefighters and combat-ready personnel in the United States and the United Kingdom. They don't know how to ** the Houthis, and it is estimated that there is no definitive answer at the moment. Saudi Arabia, as a powerful country, has been carrying out strikes against the Houthis for years, but has not achieved tangible results. Similarly, the Yemeni army has not achieved an advantage in combat over the years, on the contrary, the Houthis are getting stronger and stronger. The Houthis dared to challenge the United States and the United Kingdom, and they were undaunted in the process, while demonstrating strong operational and verbal skills. The Houthi assault is a warning to the United States and Britain that the Red Sea region is their own territory.

The Houthis' success is remarkable. Under the pressure of joint US-British air strikes and tight escorts in the Red Sea, the Houthis are still able to easily use their ** system, making US-British air strikes and escorts seem useless. In past air strikes, the Houthis have successfully hit a British oil tanker, a blow that once again shows how strong the Houthis are. According to reports, a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis accurately hit the tanker's fifth container tank on the right side, causing a raging fire. Although the tanker did not sink in the end due to tight damage control measures, the blow was a wake-up call to Britain that they may not be as important to the Houthis as they thought. The Houthis' ability to fire ballistic missiles that accurately hit targets demonstrates not only their combat capabilities, but also their ability to have modern systems.

In addition to their strong equipment and combat capabilities, another important reason why the Houthis have been able to survive the air strikes of the United States and Britain is that they have no center to fight. Compared to other organizations and armies, the Houthis do not have a clear leadership structure and central nodes. This centerless layout makes it difficult for the United States to find the main points of the Houthi strikes and how to carry out effective strikes. The Houthis are very flexible in their form of combat organization, and they do not rely on a fixed central body, but fight through mobile operations, mobile deployments, and improvised combination operations. This mode of warfare makes it difficult for them to be observed and attacked during air raids. Knocking out a so-called central institution is of little value to the Houthis, who can carry out various attacks through ad hoc combinations and dynamic deployments. This "siloed" campaign, organized by the tribes according to a unified will, makes the Houthis appear comfortable in the face of air strikes. In contrast, the air campaigns of the United States and Great Britain do not seem to have a substantial impact on them. The fact that the Houthis were able to hit British ships under double pressure suggests that neither escorts nor air strikes had the desired effect. For the United States and the United Kingdom, there does not seem to be a definitive answer to how the Houthis will be able to do so.

In short, the Houthis' achievements demonstrate their strong comprehensive combat capabilities, and their centerless combat methods make it difficult for US and British air strikes and escorts to effectively strike. The Houthis hold the initiative in the Red Sea region is a cautionary tale for the United States and the United Kingdom. In the current situation, the Houthis seem to have no way to be defeated.
