      I’m not sure we should be discussing military strategy in an unsecured environment but if the DoD doesn’t care I won’t either. The Houthis have at least Sa6 and Sa3 Anti aircraft missile system and have employed them against US aircraft. The Houthus also have shot down the MQ9 reapers which are what was discussed in the signal chat. Here’s a video of the congressional hearing about it https://youtu.be/BUHCY0b1gG8

        bruh Sa6 is from 1967, sure u can hit a drone with that.

        “The SA-6/Kub was also used during the 1991 Gulf War. The threat posed by these SAMs led to the US Navy outfitting the ALQ-167 Bullwinkle Jamming pod on their F-14A/A+ Tomcats and A-6E TRAM/SWIP Intruder aircraft.” that was over 34 years ago, and EW pods just got better since then.

        Those Sa6 are a joke not a credible problem.
