Missiles are very complicated pieces of gear. Sometimes one goes ‘stupid’.....

Saudi Arabian authorities say one person has been killed and two others wounded in a ballistic missile attack on the kingdom’s capital by Yemen’s Shiite rebels.

The death was reported early Monday by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, which quoted a civil defense official in Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia’s military earlier said it intercepted seven ballistic missiles fired by Yemen’s Shiite rebels known as Houthis late Sunday.

The missile attack came on the third anniversary of the start of the Saudi-led war in Yemen.

Why is yemen and saudi fighting again? Do the yemenese not kill infadels correctly? I have stood on the no mans land between yemen and oman along the coast west of salalah, as I was working in Oman when this started. Still dont get it. Its like mexicans fighting hondurans, an utter waste of resources

Yemen is being supported by Iran. So this is really a war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. May they both have success.

Never the less, the Trump idea of upgrading the Saudi military with modern defense is a good one. Creates jobs in the USA and protects a valuable energy source for the entire world.

It’s too bad the missile did not land in the center of the Infamous Mosque in Mecca.

Would have taken care of a lot of problems, in one fell swoop.

Kelly Johnson of the Skunk Works would never work on a “missile”. He said that, so named, they will be destined to miss. Name them “hittiles”, and he would give them a passing thought.

The post above this thread was fake news, probably from the Russian-Iranian-Syrian side. The defense was successful. Here are some videos from a friendly.
