2020 Will Be the Year of Yemeni air Defense Systems that Will Change Battle Course
A high-ranking Yemeni military official has praised the recent interception and targeting of a Tornado multirole combat aircraft of the Royal Saudi Air Force in the country’s northern al-Jawf province, stressing that 2020 will be the year of Yemeni air defense systems that will change the course of battles against the Saudi-led coalition.
Spokesman for Yemen’s Air Force, Major General Abdullah al-Jafri, told Arabic-language Mirat al-Jazeera news website in an exclusive interview on Tuesday that the downing of the Tornado jet confirms beyond any doubt that 2020 will be the year of modern and advanced air defense systems that can either track, damage or shoot down enemy aircraft.
He also echoed earlier remarks by the spokesman for Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, that Yemen’s missile units have managed to reach high levels of advanced military capability to down hostile fighter jets.
