More HD combat footage from the war in Yemen surfaced.
It is now more like an Saudi-Yemeni war since the battle was fought on Saudi soil as Houthi rebels attacked Saudi Arabian tanks and border posts with guerrilla warfare tactics using small rebels groups eqipted with small arms, RPGs and ATGM launchers to target Saudi tanks and border posts.

Amazing video of Iranian backed Shia Houthi fighters taking on Saudi tanks with ATGMs and RPGs. I guess Arab armies do not believe in combined arms tactics because there is no infantry supporting the Saudi tanks allowing the Houthis to get up and close to the tanks. I see the same lack of infantry support by Assad's forces in Syria.

Combining infantry with armor is a skill, a very perishable one at that.

Arab armies do not have the concept of shock infantry. To them, Armor is a really big horse or camel and infantry is “those smelly goat humpers over there that wash my Mercedes.”

Does not bode well for Saudis; looks like they were getting out fought.
