It has been reported Saudis lost 6 M1A2S Abrams in Yemen. However, last summer they ordered quite a few more including "20 replacements that were lost in Yemen." Early on the Houthis were using Iranian wire-guided ATGMs.

The videos I watched and reports I read seemed to indicate the tanks were total losses. Some crew members did escape.

The Saudi tanks don’t have the advanced armor that ours have. IIRC they have straight steel armor with none of the layered ceramics and depleted uranium.
