Former intelligence officer Altamunov said that the Houthi rebels, who are suppressing the United States, have a "Big Brother".
The Houthi rebels shot down another American combat drone over Yemen. According to a spokesperson for the armed group, the Houthis' anti-aircraft forces destroyed an MQ-9 "Reaper" drone performing a "hostile mission". Former intelligence officer Altamunov said that the "Big Brother" helping suppress the United States is not Russia but Iran.
A spokesperson for the established armed forces of the "Ansar Allah" movement stated that the Houthi rebels shot down an American combat drone in Yemen's airspace. The Houthi air defense forces destroyed a reconnaissance and strike drone MQ-9 "Reaper" over Hajjah Province in northwestern Yemen. At the time, the drone was carrying out a "hostile mission". Saria pointed out that it was hit by a domestically produced anti-aircraft missile.
Saria also mentioned that in the past two weeks, the Houthi rebels have destroyed four such "Reaper" drones in Yemen's airspace. Since the escalation of the conflict in Gaza, they have destroyed 19 drones. It seems that the Houthi rebels remain the most effective at destroying expensive American drones, not to mention their strikes on aircraft carriers. But what is the secret to their success? There are many rumors claiming that Russia has provided weapons to the Houthi rebels. But how true are these rumors?
According to military expert, commentator, and former intelligence officer Alexander Altamunov, the Houthi rebels have a completely different close "Big Brother." And it is not Russia but Iran. In this regard, the Houthi rebels do not need to be compared with us.
Experts pointed out: "Because we take a positive attitude towards the struggle of small countries to gain autonomy. By the way, it is one of the places with the highest per capita light weapon ownership in the world. But the key point is that what Iran has done is enough to ensure that the Houthi rebels are not unarmed."
He also stated that the weapons possessed by the Houthi rebels clearly do not match the world they live in. This refers to Iran's high-tech weapons and hypersonic weapons.
The Houthi rebels suppress the United States and burn $30 million: Altamunov explains this phenomenon of combat power.
Iran has a complete set of its own drone systems. By the way, these drones are no different in level from those of Israel. For different reasons, they almost started developing drone technology at the same time. Iran experienced the Iran-Iraq War at that time, while Israel went through the Lebanon-Israel conflict. These were more than 30 years ago. Therefore, their technical levels are roughly at the same high level. Israel's drone system is considered one of the most advanced. However, the Iranians are not inferior to them in this aspect." Altamunov pointed out.
The Houthi rebels, who scare the United States: A war phenomenon that succeeded after ten years.
Today's Houthi rebels are a proxy tool. And a very effective and successful tool, used by our ally Iran. We have signed a strategic partnership treaty with Iran.
Today, Iran is under immense pressure from the United States and Israel. By the way, after the fall of Syrian President Assad, Iran's situation became even more severe in some aspects. In my view, Iran feels that it has enough cards to play and can freely allocate its arsenal." Altamunov concluded.
