So the US just keeps feeding reapers into the huthis AA?

That’s a shame. This is stupid, but compared to Ukraine not being allowed to hit Russia targets, it is almost smart.

Only 32 million or so apiece. Pocket change compared to what we have spent launching missles and aircraft, and keeping ships at sea in that area. I suppose my universal health care is more unlikely than ever.

I’m not a fan of the IDF, but when they went after Yemen they did it right. We seem to just pin prick things, whereas the Israelis just blew up their ability to make any money.
We should turn the lights off – permanently in any Houthi occupied area. Blockaide the country, and take out ALL government facilities. Scud hunting in the desert is a waste of time..

There needs to be a change in AF leadership, waste of resources and poor leadership. We are sending these drones to a shooting gallery.

What is a “loitering” SAM?
