Israel has long forgotten the time it could slash its defence sector back to green.

I've read here and there (during Cast Lead) that they can't keep mobilised forces (> 50.000) active for more than a month, before their Economy basically takes a deep dive. They can afford using their active forces plus 20-30.000 for a few months. That's the negative side of small countries with large conscript armies.

It's about 150K all active personnel with a 30K fighting force. So yes probably going to that 50K would require at least 250K active personnel, which would disrupt heavily a 3,5 million economy (Active Pop 2.5 million). But they have like 400 reserve forces so "real manpower isn't a problem". So in survival mode the Israelis are a worse threat than in "normal".

Wow the mighty M1 was transformed into campaign DF artillery? Huhuhu, look at all those round rings spent.

Austin posted on the forums here the success rate during all the tests for PAC-3 and SM-3 and it was pretty dismal.  But heck, the system sells.

i don't think so he shared such data here.


Yemeni have destroyed 7 saudi small patrol vessels too without having any navy.

@Miltr : They didnt use PAC-3 again to intercept it ?

Notice fuel canisters around too, is it me or someone was trying to refill M1 with 20l "spoons"? Saudi logistics failing big time?

They say it was a Tochka...SAudis pay for TOW's, Russian send Tochka's.

SaudiArabia Col. Abdallah Al-Sihyan, commander of GCC operations in Yemen has been killed in what appears to be Tochka balistic missile attack on command post of the Coalition, few more reports of dead and injured high ranked UAE and Saudi officers.

This one tho seems like he tried to resemble Captain Price as much as possible - Gamers only

That's some serious damage. The Tochka's are proving really deadly....was there any attempt to shoot down any of these misiles (the most recent attacks)?
