US Bombers Target Underground Houthi Weapon Sites In Yemen by obedience4(m): 8:00am On Oct 17
The Pentagon says the US has carried out what it called "precision strikes" against five weapons storage locations in parts of Yemen controlled by the Houthi movement.

US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin said US forces - including long-range bombers - targeted underground facilities housing weapons components used to attack civilian and military ships in the region.

He said the strikes against the Iran-backed Houthis demonstrated the ability of the US to target facilities that its adversaries sought "to keep out of reach".

Since last November, the Houthis have launched attacks on around 100 ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, sinking two vessels.

The group says the attacks are retaliation for Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
US Central Command, which oversees US military operations in the Middle East, said on social media there were no initial indications of civilian casualties from the mission.

It said the US Air Force and the US Navy were used in the operation, which included the use of long-range stealth bombers.

The Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have forced major shipping companies to avoid the waterway, impacting international trade.

Austin said in a statement: "At the direction of President Biden, I authorised these targeted strikes to further degrade the Houthis' capability to continue their destabilising behaviour and to protect and defend US forces and personnel in one of the world's most critical waterways.".

He added that the US would "continue to make it clear" to the Houthis that there would be "consequences for their illegal and reckless attacks".

In September, the Pentagon said the Houthis had launched "a complex attack" on US Navy ships in the region, though all of the weapons launched were shot down.

As well as the attacks on ships in the Red Sea, the Houthis have fired several missiles and drones at Israel directly.
In July, a drone launched from Yemen struck Tel Aviv, killing one person and injuring 10. In September, the group fired several missiles at Israel, including one that targeted Israel's main airport.
Both times Israel responded by attacking sites in Yemen.

Earlier this year, the US, UK and 12 other nations launched Operation Prosperity Guardian to protect Red Sea shipping lanes against the Houthis.

The Houthis are part of a network of armed groups in the Middle East backed by Iran that includes Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.

Those fuckers can do anything in the name of so called supporting their fellow terrorists in Palestine but cry when someone supports the other side.

Iran smuggled s300 and khordad batteries into Yemen to lay an ambush for isreali planes but they didn't see the B2 coming.

The B2 spirit bomber is simply one of the most terrifying attack platforms in existence. Introduced 35 years ago, this beauty is capable of flying back and forth for 36 hours non stop and from bases in the US, it can fly across the globe to attack any target and return without landing. It is the bomber of choice when the US wants to get shit done. There are currently about 19 of them and each costs over 2 billion dollars.

The plane is so stealthy and classified that even the paint on its body is not available for any other aircraft. It was designed entirely by hand and is a testament to the ingenuity of Northrop Gruman as the leading defense firm in the world.

There is no known radar tracking system that can spot the B2 currently since it has a radar signature of a small bird. The plane can carry so much ordnance that any military system from opposing armies against it will have a bad day. The true capabilities of this plane remain classified.

Imagine what a 35 year old craft can achieve. No one knows what the US currently has. Hell, it was during Obamas time that we knew these guys had stealth helicopters. Like, how do you successfully make a stealth helicopter? Those helicopters only operated when the US went after Bin Laden to take him out. The US quietly returned them since then.

At the latter stages of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia actually wanted to nuke Ukraine. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had to call his Russian counterpart, Shiogu to tell Russia to back the f(u)ck off otherwise the US was going to wipe out every single Russian in Ukraine with conventional weapons. Shiogu asked Austin if Austin was threatening him. Austin's reply? "I am the head of the single most powerful military in the history of mankind. I do not make threats."

That's a natural reply when you got weapons like these to play with.

god0001 and his cohorts would not comment on this thread due to the fact that Iran is solemnly behind sponsoring many terrorists organisations.

Just watch, the response to this writeup would be like what they are.

Yes, allow the peace-loving Houthis continue firing ballistic missiles at merchant ships and blame the warmongering US for attempting to disrupt their attacks.

What invention has the African made today undecided

If Africans choose not to invent, then they will reverse to the stone ages. I like innoson, allow dangote refinery. Ihope Air peace did not get into any serious legal issues in USA.

The government should make sure there is order and no conflicts, farmers should go back to farms. GMO is destructive. Is like some Africans leaders don't have direction, they hate thinking properly grin grin just like some followers cheesy cheesy

A whole giant cannot refine its crude oil, it sends it to it former slave ruler, who will gain and enjoy its formers slave resources. Anyway other Africans and other people wonder why such giant wants to be relevant cool At least they have good queens english grin grin
