Houthi forces have exposed the US old weaknesses, with the US ammunition and troop strength in urgent need, paying no attention to China, and hurriedly transporting weapons and ammunition from Japan and South Korea.
Can a small Houthi force cause trouble for the US? Many people may not believe this. But in reality, the Houthi forces have indeed surprised the world, causing great trouble for the overconfident US military. In the battles, the Houthi forces have exposed the US old weaknesses, leading to an urgent shortage of US ammunition. It is reported that the US inventory of conventional bombs, bunker-buster bombs, precision-guided missiles, and some heavy offensive weapons has been exhausted. Pentagon sources indicate that the US inventory can no longer meet basic combat readiness needs.
At the same time, the US troop readiness is also in urgent need. The aircraft carrier strike groups and fighter jets stationed only in the Middle East are already insufficient to meet the combat requirements against the Houthi forces. The US military has begun urgently transporting ammunition and weapons from military bases in Japan, South Korea, and other locations. It is reported that in addition to urgently transporting some high-end ammunition targeting China, the US military has also transported conventional ammunition stored in Japan and South Korea. These types of ammunition are regular reserves maintained by the US military for the Asia-Pacific situation.
In 72 hours, the US military removed at least six C-5 and C-17 large military transport aircraft from Yokota Air Base in Japan, Kadena Air Base on the Ryukyu Islands, and Osan Air Base in South Korea. To strike the Houthi forces, the US military directly withdrew its troop strength, equipment, and ammunition from East Asia, completely disregarding China. This shows that the US military has indeed been exposed. This also allows the world to see the emptiness of the US military, knowing that the current US military is not prepared for large-scale warfare. For us, this is certainly good news.
