The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) revealed shocking details about what the Yemeni Armed Forces possess, which has caused them fear and alarm.
The top American official responsible for buying weapons for the country’s military expressed astonishment regarding the firepower that was being deployed by Yemen’s Armed Forces against the Israeli regime and its allies.
The Pentagon’s official for Acquisition and Sustainment Bill LaPlante made the remarks during an event held by the American news website Axios in Washington, DC. on Wednesday.
I’m an engineer and a physicist, and I’ve been around missiles my whole career. And I’m just being careful of what I can say, because I don’t want to go over any line, but just what I’ve seen of what the Houthis have done in the last six months is something that I’m just shocked
The Yemeni forces “are getting scary,” the American official added.
The forces have been conducting hundreds of strikes against Israeli targets inside the occupied Palestinian territories in retaliation for the regime’s October 2023-present genocidal war and concomitant siege on the Gaza Strip and deadly escalation against Lebanon.
The brutal military onslaught and the escalation have respectively claimed the lives of more than 43,700 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and at least 3,360 Lebanese.
