    "rebels" in that they are the ruling government just not the one the empire wants?

    Also based Yemen. Basically only ones out there taking actual military action of any sort to try and stop a fucking genocide.

    “The group’s missile forces have successfully tested a missile that is capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 8 and runs on solid fuel,” a military official close to the Houthis said, according to the RIA report. The Houthis “intend to begin manufacturing it for use during attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, as well as against targets in Israel.”

    BRO WHAT.

    Ballistic missiles fly on a trajectory in which anti-missile systems like the U.S.-made Patriot can anticipate their path and intercept them. The more irregular the missile’s flight path, such as a hypersonic missile with the ability to change directions, the more difficult it becomes to intercept.

    Huh. Iron Dome gonna be like "Paper Dome" if this ends up happening.

    IDK, seems fearmongering to me. Ansar allah and the yemeni people are very capable but, is their industrial production developed enough? Do they even produce their own firearms?

      Last year Iran presented hypersonic missile Fattah-1, so it's likely that. Article mentions it. Interesting is fact that US seems to confirm Iran really have hypersonic missiles since they suddenly again want to talk.

      I mean there's a possibility they spin this up into an invasion justification with experts telling us how they could strike Europe in less than 45 minutes again.
