Houthi missiles have penetrated to the innermost layer of the US air defense circle, so so so far, neither of the two aircraft carriers deployed by the US military in the Middle East has entered the Red Sea, and is still in the southern part of Iran. The reason for this is obvious, it must be the encounter of the USS Eisenhower in the Red Sea, which caused the US aircraft carriers not to dare to continue to enter the Red Sea.

Recently, I saw United States media interview the captain of the USS Eisenhower about the Houthi missile attacks that occurred during this year's deployment in the Red Sea. From the description of the American captain, one thing we can be sure of is that the American destroyer Graveley was hit by fragments at that time.
Picture interpretation: United States media conducted an exclusive interview with the captain of the USS Eisenhower, Hill, and the Houthi missile exploded at close range
Picture interpretation: The Graveley was hit by missile fragments
Because according to a very certain information, the Greaveli activated the terminal defense system at that time, and this system is the last line of defense, which shows that Houthi missiles have actually broken through the multi-layer air defense network of the US military.
The interception distance of the short-range defense system is about 2 kilometers, which also means that an anti-ship missile is intercepted at such a close distance that the missile will explode around the ship. After the explosion, many fragments are generated, which will continue to fly forward by inertia, and eventually hit the American destroyer.
Picture interpretation: Houthi spokesman Yahya · Saari said that the missile hit the US military, in fact, the Houthi missile has successfully penetrated the US aircraft carrier air defense circle, and the intercepted fragments have caused damage to the US ship
So we see Houthi spokesman Yahya · Sarri saying in May 2024 that he had successfully attacked a US destroyer, and that was right. First, the Houthi missiles broke through the air defense circle of the Graveley, and it can even be said that they broke through the air defense circle of the US aircraft carrier; Second, Houthi missiles exploded within 2 kilometers of the US formation, and the fragments formed after the explosion could hit US ships.
Obviously, the Houthi spokesman said that the successful missile attack on the US ship was not an groundless incident, and it was not the Houthi unfounded description of the course of the incident. The incident with the USS Graveley shows that the U.S. destroyer was indeed killed or attacked by fragments.
Picture interpretation: Houthi's ballistic rockets
We know that the Houthi anti-ship missiles have a range of more than 100 km, but in reality such a large range is not needed. In the Red Sea, only 30-50 kilometers from the Houthi missile launch sites are located. Launching missiles at such a close distance makes it possible to strike US aircraft carriers and destroyers with low ballistics. This means that the interception time, or warning time, of the US warship will be greatly reduced.
Houthi missiles have penetrated to the innermost layer of the US air defense circle, so so so far, neither of the two aircraft carriers deployed by the US military in the Middle East has entered the Red Sea, and is still in the southern part of Iran. The reason for this is obvious, it must be the encounter of the USS Eisenhower in the Red Sea, which caused the US aircraft carriers not to dare to continue to enter the Red Sea.
This is because once they enter, the Houthi anti-ship missiles will have a window to hit US aircraft carriers, and by virtue of their geographical advantage, the power of the Houthi missiles will continue to increase, and the warning time of the US military will be greatly reduced. If a saturation attack is carried out, then the US destroyer will definitely sink in the Red Sea. This article was first published exclusively by @川陀智库 and is not reproduced in any form. #文章首发挑战赛#
