The 5th operation proves increase in Yemeni military capabilities, failure of Saudi Arabia
Quoted from al-masirah website that a major tremor was caused by the 5th Operation of Balanced Deterrence of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Saudi depth, by its timing and location.
The operation’s details were revealed Sunday by the Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e.
The Balanced Deterrence operations from the first to the fifth revealed the growing Yemeni capabilities, especially in the diversity of targets and the accuracy of the strikes hit.
The first operation struck the Saudi depth in mid-August of 2019. Ten drones were used to target the Shaybah oil field in eastern Saudi Arabia.
The capabilities of the Yemeni Air Force have also proven their activities in the Second Operation of Balanced Deterrence in mid-September of the same year. It targeted the Abqaiq and Khurais refineries of Aramco in eastern Saudi Arabia with ten drones to double the losses of the Saudi financial coffers.
Five months later, the Yemeni forces sent the third message of deterrence into the Saudi depth. With 12 drones type Sammad 3, two winged missiles Quds , and Zulfiqar long-range ballistic missile it hit Aramco and other sensitive targets in Yanbu.
The Saudi regime did not understand the three Yemeni messages so the Yemeni army reinforced them with a fourth message in late June of last year. The heart of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh was hit with a large number of ballistic and winged missiles, and drones. The operation was different in terms of multiplicity of goals, which caused horror of the Saudi regime.
The operation targeted the “Ministry of Defense and Intelligence headquarters” and Salman Air Base, which is the largest room for Washington in the Kingdom, in addition to military sites in Jizan and Najran.
The fifth operation carried a long-term strategic message at the regional level, especially with the ongoing battles between the Yemeni army and the coalition forces in Marib.
Observers believe that the operation proves once again the increase in Yemeni military capabilities and the failure of Saudi Arabia at the tactical and strategic level despite the capabilities it possesses.
They also emphasized that the strike at this time is a warning message to stop the mobilization of takfiri and terrorist organizations from the international perspective to Marib. And also that the Saudi regime may pay a lot for the consequences of not responding to it, in the event that the Yemeni forces are forced to carry out a Sixth Operation of Balanced Deterrence .
