The Houthis are in full swing, Saudi Arabia has moved out Chinese weapons to reverse the situation, and the White House is dissatisfied with the continuous protests
According to a February 8 report by the Russian Satellite News Agency, the Houthis are currently working on a new battle plan, and they are ready to consolidate their defenses and completely clear the area from the Saudi coalition forces. Although the number and equipment level of the Houthis is not as good as that of the Saudi coalition, in the frontal confrontation, the Houthis are overwhelming and constantly defeat the Saudi-backed forces. In order to reverse the situation in Yemen, Saudi Arabia recently moved out of the mainland's SLC-2 radar to try to change the tide of the war, but their actions have caused dissatisfaction from the White House authorities, who have repeatedly protested to the Saudi authorities, the sources said.
After the outbreak of the Yemeni civil war, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries intervened in this civil war, although they provided various kinds of help to the regular army in Yemen, but these troops could not compete with the Houthis, and even many of the advanced equipment used by the Houthis were captured from the coalition forces, and Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates played the role of "transport captain" in Yemen. In recent years of confrontation, the Houthis began to use limited missiles and drones to attack targets in Saudi Arabia, although Saudi Arabia purchased a lot of advanced equipment from the United States, but these equipment can not reverse the situation on the battlefield, the Saudi coalition forces in the confrontation with the Houthis is still a one-hit collapse.
People familiar with the matter said that the front-line posts set up by Saudi Arabia are the main targets of Houthi drones, and Houthi bomb drones have eliminated many Saudi outposts, and such strikes have made Saudi coalition soldiers very afraid. Recently, saudi Arabia took out the SLC-2 artillery reconnaissance radar they purchased from the mainland, which can effectively detect the location of enemy artillery, and as long as the software system of this radar is modified, it can search and locate targets such as drones and helicopter gunships. For the Saudis, the SLC-2 is already their weapon, and they want to use this artillery reconnaissance radar as an anti-aircraft fire control radar.
Saudi Arabia orders a large number of weapons and equipment from the United States every year, but these American-made equipment did not play a role in the Yemeni civil war, and the tanks and armored vehicles provided by Saudi Arabia for the coalition forces were captured by the Houthis. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, Saudi Arabia can only continue to expand the scale of military procurement, they have purchased a lot of advanced weapons and equipment from the mainland, and these equipment is regarded by Saudi Arabia as its own killer weapon. This time, saudi Arabia took out the SLC-2 radar, indicating that they have completely helpless against the Houthi drones and cruise missiles, but the SLC-2 radar will generally be deployed in the front line area, and these equipment are likely to be captured by the Houthis in the subsequent confrontation.
It is reported that the White House is very dissatisfied with the use of mainland weapons and equipment by Saudi Arabia, and they believe that Saudi Arabia's move is disguised to demean the role of US-made equipment in actual combat, which is unacceptable to the US side. Analysts pointed out that behind the Houthi armed forces stands Iran, Iran's combat experience is very rich, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates simply can not take any advantage of the Yemeni battlefield.
