The US carried out further strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, according to a US official, one day after launching a coordinated multi-nation attack on nearly 30 Houthi locations.
The additional strikes carried out Friday night were much smaller in scope and targeted a radar facility used by the Houthis, the official said.
The Houthis had fired at least one anti-ship ballistic missile toward a commercial vessel earlier Friday.

“Wah-la-ba-la-walahala!”
I worked in 3 different radar facilities, so I wonder what kind of radar facility they are talking about?
Well, sooner or later the Houthis will learn that they need to play nice with shipping through their surrounding waters…OR ELSE.
Hit them every night for a week then send them a message, We can do this for months if you want !!!
The one in pieces….
😂
Beat me to it!...................
Did they honestly think they could do these things and not get the crap blown out of them?
Oh, yeah, I forgot. They believe they are martyrs and their Moon God will protect them, and if he doesn’t then it’s Inshallah.
Savage idiots.....................
Which means you're still not stopping them.
So expect many many more attacks on Yemen... sigh
and how long will this go on?
lets see, Afghanistan was 19 years.
The Houthi did not have enough $$$-lobbyists-$$$ ‘working’ with the Hussein/Biden Regime.
If only the Houthi had purchased many of the degenerate son’s paintings, and the lobbyists had been more $$-generous-$$, they might not have suffered.
Being as I am a radar expert, I can assure you, there are different kinds of radars, and literally bunches of them. I mean bunches. I suspect it’s air defense radar, of which there are probably many. One down, 50 to go. Probably used Wild Weasel tactics with HARMs.
Glass... Glass... Glass...
Stop fracking around!
One of their many types of missiles requires initial guidance from a radar unit?? (Just guessing):

Yes, completely different from the radar I used. I preferred working in the tower, but even in the tower, we had radar. It was slaved off approach control radar, so the tower coordinator and the RAPCON coordinator, could talk on the landline, while looking at the same radar scope. It was wild sometimes, mixing IFR aircraft, with VFR aircraft, while still trying to maintain wake turbulence separation. I am sure air defense radars, are vastly different than what I was using.
By the way, my last duty station, was Travis. 👍
Awwww...Travis AFB....not too far from where I grew up...”Gold Country/Hwy. 49”. You have any U2’s on your Travis radar? ;-)
No, they were flying out of Beale. I know our radar is good, but it’s not THAT good. It doesn’t give type aircraft. It gives call sign, squawk, altitude. The newer ones might even show heading and type, but I don’t know for sure. It’s been many moons, since I saw a radar scope. 🤗
Do we have any NAPALM left over from Viet Nam?
shipping through their surrounding waters…OR ELSE.

The OR ELSE is what they pray for. So no fears there.
