    You see Houthis sporting PKP's, RGSH-1's, high end optics, OSV's, Russian-made kamelbaks etc etc etc...what does that tell you?

    Yemeni military is largely functional and operating, they're not all Houthis. Saleh is not Houthi either.

    A lot of mercenaries in middle east wars this era. No relation with somewhat "ideological" wars in cold war era between arab states and israel

    French mercenary killed in Yemen. His name is reportedly called Philip Fordan.

    At least 20 foreign mercenaries killed & injured while trying to advance towards Houthi-held Omari Camp (Brigade 17) in Dhubab. Taiz Yemen

    BREAKING: Another mercenary, Ferdinand Lamos of Argentina, died after sustained his wound clashing with Houthis near Omari. Taiz Yemen

    An American ship was later reportedly sent to save Ferdinand's life, but he died after sustaining injuries when he was on board.

    Report says Ferdinand Lamos previously worked in a French group called "Foreign Legion" which has links to Blackwater.

    Seems the Saudis are running on fumes. Saudi and other Gulf armies are not in any mood for fighting than Saddam's army was in 1991 or 2003. Whenever they get attacked or ambushed they cut and run.
    So now they're relying on mercenaries but instead of running away they just end up getting killed or captured.

    I would say about from now and the next 6 months would be a good time for the Shia in Saudi Arabia to rise up with the backing of Iran the longer this war goes on the weaker the Saudis will become and with the bulk of the Saudi oil in shia dominant area and the gross incompetence of the Saudi army ... Iran should be looking for covert ways to arm the shia people in Saudi

    Saudis facing Saddam circa 1989, would have been fucked up twice. Not because Saddam was Naopleon, just because their troops were even worse than now.

    It happened, and Iraqi not only invaded them but also moped the floor with them (they fled from their own city) until Uncle Sam saved them.

    ... too late. Saddam should have invaded KSA in August, before US deployed troops. He would then have a fairy high chance of not only destroying KSA but also Emirates, Bahrain and other Gulf sheikhdoms.

    Another question is how would Iraq's neighboors react to this, though.

    Truly, Saddam had no allies in the Middle East. Turkey and Syria would not simply sit and watch how their rival seizes half of world's oil reserves. What a Face

    The best potential killer of KSA is Iran. It has a competent (orders of magnitude more competent than Iraq), self-sufficient army, secure borders from all sides except west and together with Iraqi and Saudi Shias it makes a 100+ mln conglomerate of people.

    Israel has a pretty useful army, the most capable and efficient in the entire region. General Sharon's drive to the canal, flanking of Egyptian artillery, cross to Sinai and methodical destruction of SAM sites is a major example on how they've basically written the book of modern tank, air and joint warfare. And all that after suffering tremendous losses beforehand.

    Actually IDF is just a paper tiger just as Saudis are, they couldn't handle shit in all the wars without US support on all levels, from finances, intelligence, support, supply, and technological aid from not just US but Germany, France, Russia/Soviet Union and what not. So many technologies ended up in israel from those countries and have never been developed in Israel nor established knowledge, research and studies to get to that kind of knowledge all imported, illegaly, legaly and right out victimhood aid to help the helpless jews. Paper tiger it is, without any SAM capabilities besides useless US technologies. You could literally wipe entire Israel out without fearing retaliation since they do not have proper TABM let alone SAM's to deal with a Nation vs Nation war.

    That's absurd. While the US support is mission critical, Big IZ has a very effective conscription system.

    The major issue is one they can't do anything about. They've got no strategic depth. Basically if any attack gets to Haifa or Tel Aviv the country is close to collapse. The worst part is that Israel can't have any of that strategic depth, because of how it is set in the region. They're always on the verge.

    Saddam invades KSA in August, Baghdad gets burn to the ground. KSA was, is and will be the spoiled brat of Uncle Sham.

    KG: Yeah, there are more pitiful stories about the KSA intervention vs Yemen in 2009. Like half the cars were bogged down because the Saudis would fry the trannies on them by trying to get out of dodge.
