The recent saudi-led coalition fighting in yemen is moving in a positive direction, but analysts say it is not going to happen overnight. The houthis, dubbed the "slipper army" by netizens, spent more than two years proving their indomitable fighting force and paying a terrible price for the saudi-led coalition. According to European media estimates, more than two years of open air fighting, Saudi Arabia has paid at least $75 billion in military costs, which does not include major friendly forces such as the united Arab emirates.
Iranian media reported recently, on April 11, 2015, dominant against Saudi Arabia yemen houthi forces "decisive storm" military action, since there are at least 37 military aircraft and more than 1200 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, including 15 F, F - 16 and other advanced fighter, and destroyed more than 10 ships sunk. It was a terrible loss. Both the main American and European tanks have been lost, and the saudis have been so angry that the arms dealers in the us and Europe have given them shoddy goods.
But there is a good saying: the martial arts are high, and the anti-tank missiles are a deadly threat to any armored vehicle. Saudi Arabia should know that in his to Syria's opposition armed with a large number of anti-tank missiles and shoulder portable air defense missile, effective Syria armored forces and a low strike aircraft, helicopters, Saudi army in yemen has to meet the same lots counter-attack threat. More than a thousand tank trucks were lost, and they were about to be spelt out.
It is well known that two Chinese weapons and equipment were also tested after the saudis launched their military campaign against yemen. One is a Chinese pterosaur drone, and the other is China's PLZ45 self-propelled artillery. In the footage released by Saudi Arabia, there were pictures of Chinese self-propelled artillery fire but no reports of damage. The pterosaur has convinced the Saudi military. At least 300 orders and production line transfer is the best description.
The report, published on the website of newsweek on March 3, reports that eight different types of missiles can be launched by China's new ica. A "pterosaur" Ⅱ drones can carry 400 kg of ammunition, portable missile and bomb, including the "blue arrow" - 7 laser guided missile, TG100 / INS/GPS laser guided bombs and AR - 1 / HJ - 10 anti-tank missiles. The range is close to 20 hours, with a maximum speed of 370 kilometers per hour.
Analysis pointed out that pterosaurs Ⅱ unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) is likely to be Saudi subsequent independent production of important models, but carry ammunition need partners to provide the main types of attacks. The Saudi army is likely to follow suit, too, as it suffers from frequent houthi tactical missile strikes and Qatar's introduction of a Chinese tactical ballistic missile. And Saudi Arabia already has the base to equip China's ballistic missiles, which could make new tactical missiles more attractive to them.
