 For the first time since the crisis in Gaza began, the Yemeni army has reportedly shot down an American military aircraft. The incident occurred during an American strike on what it claimed were Yemeni targets, supposedly threatening its naval assets in the Middle East. While we're unable to independently verify this claim yet, according to the official statement from the Yemeni military, the American plane crashed in the Hodeida region of Yemen, marking a significant moment for resistance in the country. Yemeni military spokesman Yahya Saria stated that the aircraft was targeted with what they claim were appropriate air defense missiles, successfully bringing it down and causing the loss of vital war data for the Americans. The US has justified its persistent attacks on Yemen as self-defense, a stance disputed by independent observers who argue that America is acting to protect its allies in Palestine.

In their official acknowledgement, the military spokesman also announced that Yemeni armed forces targeted a British ship named Rubimar with what they claim were appropriate naval missiles, causing severe damage and leaving it at risk of sinking. Yemeni military spokesman Yahya Saria stated that the British ship was targeted with what they claim were appropriate naval missiles, causing severe damage and leaving it at risk of sinking. Yemeni military spokesman Yahya Saria stated that the British ship was targeted with what they claim were appropriate naval missiles, causing severe damage and leaving it at risk of sinking. Yemeni military spokesman Yahya Saria stated that the British ship was targeted with what they claim were appropriate naval missiles, this attack occurred despite continued strikes on essential military targets in Yemen by U.S. and British forces in the Middle East. The Yemeni army maintains that such attacks will continue until there is a just ceasefire and permanent peace in Gaza. There are growing concerns that the Yemeni army, emboldened by what they perceive as brazen attacks on their infrastructure by the U.S., will not cease their actions. It appears they are even more determined to continue what the West labels as terrorism in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab straight. As time passes, Yemeni forces are enhancing their capabilities in naval warfare, employing rare missiles and other naval weapons that have surprised the West and the world. With the aid of these secret weapons, the Yemeni army has been able to disrupt Israel's shipment of goods via sea, impacting its economy. While the Yemeni offensive has achieved some success, it has come at a great cost. Many areas of the country have faced intense bombardments by the United States, yet this has not deterred Yemenis from continuing their operations. It appears they were well prepared for such responses, stocking up on missiles and using decoys to deceive American reconnaissance drones, and the impact on their overall fighting power, despite comprehensive combat strikes on critical military targets. The use of advanced underwater drones was first documented in the Red Sea. Similarly to Ukraine, which utilized similar machines against the Russian Navy, Yemen has also adopted these stealth drones to disrupt American warships in the region. Since Yemen army began targeting Red Sea shipping last autumn, U.S. forces have encountered and engaged various anti-ship weaponry in and around Yemen routinely. This includes intercepting and destroying cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, airborne drones, and suicide drone boats. Over the weekend, U.S. forces identified and destroyed a new type of weaponry in Yemen, an unmanned underwater vehicle, UUV, also known as a drone sub. Recent sighting occurred during routine self-defense operations over the weekend. On Friday night, U.S. forces targeted an anti-ship cruise missile and a suicide drone boat within Yemen. On Saturday afternoon, Central Command targeted three more anti-ship cruise missiles, another drone boat, and notably a UUV for the first time. CENTCOM did not provide further details about the design or purpose of the drone sub, but described it as the first of its kind encountered during the latest Yemeni operations. It was identified as an imminent threat to U.S. warships and international shipping. Iran, a key ally and source of advanced weaponry for Yemen, has unveiled several types of drone subs in recent years. Among these, the most relevant model for Yemen's purposes would be the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' drone torpedo weapon. This unnamed munition resembles a torpedo, but with lower speeds and longer range. Additionally, the IRGC has recently revealed what appears to be a prototype of a much larger UUV, although its design and purpose remain undisclosed. This development solidifies Iran's position as a drone superpower in the Middle East, showcasing significant military technological advancements. These advancements purportedly serve as a deterrent to occupying forces' intent on quashing opposition to Palestinian occupation and interests. Like Iran, the underwater vehicle used by the Yemeni army is reportedly manufactured in Iran but modified for use by the Yemeni forces. Of particular interest is an Iranian underwater drone launched several months ago, unveiled during an exposition in Tehran. The expo showcased a variety of maritime weaponry, including anti-ship missile systems, electronic warfare, telecommunication, sophisticated surveillance systems and advanced domestically produced components. Several senior military officers, including Army Commander Major General Abdul Rahim Musavi and Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, along with government officials, attended the exhibition. One of the showcased technologies was the Chamrosh 4 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle VITOL drone, named after a bird from Persian mythology believed to inhabit Mount Alborz's peak. Equipped with cost-effective technology, this drone can vertically take off and land on various Navy warships decks performing designated duties. It's also remotely controlled and capable of identifying, locating and detonating both moored inactive naval mines. Reports indicated can transport payloads to mines for clearance. The Iranian-made unmanned underwater vehicle, UV, boasts a 24-hour endurance and can dive as deep as 200 meters. Given the Persian Gulf's shallow depth, underwater mines, buried between 10 and 50 meters below the surface, pose a significant threat to even the heaviest warships, weighing up to 250 tons. Last October, an Iranian Army drone successfully surveilled an American vessel in the Indian Ocean for approximately 24 hours. This isn't the first instance of Iranian drones capturing precise photographs and footage of American military forces at sea. In August last year, during a Defense Industry Day ceremony, Iran unveiled the Mohaja-10 drone, equipped with electronic warfare and intelligence technologies, capable of reaching speeds of 210 kmh and transporting various explosives and ammunition. It's plausible that one of these drones has allegedly been mass-produced and distributed to allies within the so-called resistance axis, causing concern for occupying and American forces. Even American officials now acknowledge Yemen's newfound sophistication as worrisome, warranting a separate response, indicating imminent trouble for free navigation around Yemen's waters. From our perspective, Yemen's acquisition of advanced underwater technology, reportedly supplied by Iran, carries significant geopolitical implications for the Red Sea region. This capability bolsters Yemen's military strength and alters power dynamics, potentially disrupting maritime trade routes and naval activities. The deployment of underwater drones capable of detecting and neutralizing naval mines poses a direct threat to commercial shipping and naval vessels in the Red Sea, necessitating heightened security measures and potentially impacting international trade. Furthermore, the deployment of advanced underwater drones by Yemen raises significant concerns about maritime security and stability in the region. This development has the potential to escalate tensions among regional powers and increase the risk of naval confrontations or inadvertent conflicts. This escalation could further complicate efforts to resolve ongoing conflicts like the Yemeni Civil War and the tensions between Iran and its adversaries. Yemen's acquisition of sophisticated military technology, especially if provided by Iran, may exacerbate existing regional conflicts and contribute to broader instability. In addressing the crisis in Gaza, the United States is confronted with a complex challenge of balancing security concerns with the imperative of promoting peace in the region. While Yemen's actions might be perceived as a threat to regional stability, a military response could risk escalating tensions and exacerbating humanitarian crises. Instead, prioritizing diplomacy and engaging with all relevant stakeholders, including Yemen, Israel, and regional powers, is crucial for achieving lasting peace and addressing the underlying causes of the crisis. By emphasizing diplomatic solutions and fostering multilateral cooperation, the United States can play a constructive role in de-escalating tensions and promoting peace in the Middle East.
