@paintedblue1791 So far as I’m aware the idea of zig zagging the ships has two problems. One is that it’s just not very effective against guided weapons systems. The other is that these vessels just aren’t really made for those types of maneuvering. They’re most fuel efficient when at a set speed and at a set course, and any change to course is made via large sweeping movements instead of drastic changes.
If there's one thing I don't want to come to an end it's the sometimes hilarious use of AIS destination info. Instead of reporting their destination, captains are typing in messages like "All Chin Crew", "Arm man onboard", and my favorite today "3 Guard all Turkey".
@@haunter_1845Thanks. I hope someone sets their AIS to something like "AimHereIfYouLikeMen" It worked well for Sweden when they had that submarine problem.
That's exactly what I was going to say, America provided everything to the Saudis and UAE to take out the Houthis and they resisted for close to a decade. I don't think we are going to see them going away anytime soon.

Sounds like a HIPAA violation. There are very strong federal protections against that kind of thing. Not sure what loophole they could be operating through.
4:00 I’m not sure explosives are shipped as separate chemicals. Certainly you separate the detonators, but you don’t ship, say, the RDX and the plasticisers separately, and ask the end user to make their own C-4.
There is no prospect for the internationally recognized government to take back Sanaa anytime soon. First of all there is a ceasefire in the conflict in Yemen, that is fragile but more or less stable since 2022. Secondly, Houthis are in negotiations with the Saudis and the Saudis are also starting to talk with Iran (partially brokered talks by China). There is barely any executive and organizational basis on which the remainders of the Hadi Governement or the presidential council that followed Hadi could relay on to built up a force. They would need support from someone both militarily and financially, but I don't see any country nearby really willing and committed to provide that. (There are many good summaries on the genral situation there on CFR, MEI or other think tanks if you are interested). A too obvious positioning of the Saudis on the US side now is not in Saudi interests regarding the legidimization of the Houthis with respect to the Gaza situation, which has broad support in muslim countries in the region. The bombing of Houthi positions by the US is probably only a temporary solution to suppress the Houthis capabilities in disrupting international shipping, until a permanent solution in Gaza is achieved. The Houthis have endured nearly 10 years of coalition bombing, a bit more even with good intelligence won't change that a lot.
I still have some hope that a hit on a U.S. flagged ship carries substantial consequences. I mean we have to have a line in the sand (sea) that we won’t let others cross
I suspect Iran might be lying on the customs declaration forms attached to their weapon shipments. If they write "WHEAT" or "NON-EXPLODEY SAFE MACHINERY" instead of "ASBM WARHEADS" then it's not obvious where the weapons are without checking physically. Naughty, I know, but you know what Iran's like...
It might be for some reason that it is percived that if we atrack a direct Iranian asset the war would expand . It was very hard to go into certain parts of north Korea and china during the korsan war and the same of vietnam during the respective wars .
Is the fertilizer ammonium nitrate? That stuff makes big booms. Check out the dock explosion in Beirut in 2020. Or the Galvaston, Texas dock explosion in 1947.
The RAF component of the strikes are operating out of Cyprus which is still a long flight in a single seat fighter... depending on routing anywhere up to 7-8 hours one way plus air to air refuelling... long day at the office
That warhead is from an Iranian Nour or Ghadir missile. It's very similar to the warhead from an Exocet. It's a semi armour piercing blast/fragmentation warhead.
I'm flabbergasted at this point. All those launch sites could be shut down in a day. The USAF + usn could get air dominance without hours and prevent any launched missiles and drones from ever leaving the houthi airspace. And yet that hasn't been done, putting innocent civilian sailor at risk and impeding world trade Wtf
American Armed Forces are employed forces of Terrorist country called America. Read History of America right from invasion of Cambodia, Vietnam to Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Afghanistan and many more without any valid reason. Wherever any country has a valuable resource, the American Terrorist Country is sure to find her way there including trying to push her way into Russia via Ukraine. Oil & expensive resources attracts America & Europe like living animal attracts leaches.

Where the heck is Egypt in all this? They should be leading this whole thing since the decreased traffic through the suez is hurting their pockets more than anyone it would seem..
It’s ammonium nitrate. However, it’s not soaked in oil, it’s not wrapped in detcord, and it’s fresh, professionally handled, stock, so it’s not deteriorated. The latter makes it much more stable.
I can’t tell what type of war head that is without a scale reference in the photo. I know Iran has developed a missile called GHADR similar to a ISKANDER launched from mobile launchers. Though smaller and less advanced it can pack a nasty punch with the proper warhead and guidance.
I agree, it will be much easier interacting with Yemen when they go from 3 official governments to 1 like other countries. This war should provide that clarity. Even if Ansarallah comes out on top to solidify control, that can still be good for us as the current fragmentation strategy of the past decade has failed - and we continue now to pour good money after bad in this military remediation strategy.
I think he's being a bit too optimistic there. The Saudis have gone in harder on the Houthis and haven't been able to bring them down, I doubt these targetted strikes are going to either.
Maybe a dumb question; but why can be the only reaction defensively? In history the u.s. and others didn t hesitate to do land- strikes due special- forces ect?
As long as the Houthis are there, the legitimate Yemenese government gets international help and support. It's not in either of their best interests to actually resolve the conflict. As long as we're dealing with the Houthis, the Saudis won't bother moving in and cleaning up, either. For the benefit of international freedom of navigation, it's our problem unless we decide international freedom of navigation isn't a tenet we hold anymore.
The Saudis have had YEARS to take out the Houthis and they accomplished very little. The Yemenis, (Houthi and others), are rather unique in the Arab world in that they don’t mind rolling up their sleeves and getting dirty. Saudis hire others to do their scut-work, which doesn’t make for a good Army ground force.
I would LOVE to see your prediction about the Yemeni government be true, but I'm not optimistic. The Saudis have basically given up with their intervention and several other members in the coalition (like the UAE) have already backed out years ago. I doubt that the Houthis' opposition has the will or the means to make another push.
"As much as it sounds horrible, food deliveries and aid should stop until the attacks stop" - That would not hurt the Houthi leadership at all; it would actually enrage the local population and help the Houthis gain more support..
Ever worried about OPSEC when talking about US vessels in depth as you do? Just curious, or is this all public info? Not this vid in particular, but some of the things I see on twitch, I wonder.
Well if we look at the ship with its bow well in the air after the attack it clearly shows that it was empty. Going from Saudi Arabia to Belarus, likely to import fertilizer. Belarus is the 7th worldwide fertilizer exporter Saudi Arabia the 27th but they export a lot to India and can make a few bucks per tons as a middlemen between Belarus and India. The ecological disaster of an empty ship sinking in the Strait of Hormuz is just a great journalistic clickbait.
I am obviously asking questions that no one ever seems interested in entertaining due to "being mean".... These acts are occurring in the middle east. It is a negative affect for the region. The neighboring countries in this region seems disinterested or at most "mildly" annoyed at this behavior. ***WHY*** is it they are all getting a pass for not cleaning up the mess in their own back yard? ***WHY*** is it ***ALWAYS*** someone-elses problem and someone-elses assets and at someone-elses cost to clean this up? The Egyptians keep saying: "Don't escalate". The Saudis keep saying: "Don't escalate" etc etc etc. Some say that is an "isolationist" sentiment. I view it as a viable and necessary series of questions that is studiously avoided by "the powers that be". Just my opinion.
Yemen likely would be better off if the civil war ended, even with a terrible regime (to an extent of course) it would be better than active fighting surely. More importantly, the humanitarian aid would not be under threat.
The fertilizer is actually a lot worse than you're thinking. Seawater + fertilizer = Ammonium Hydroxide. That reaction is exothermic, and essentially will run-away at some point. So, it won't 'leach out' it will just go boom. Very, very, big boom (like, kilo-ton scale boom). Like what happened in the port of Beirut.
Well in the middle of the Red Sea that doesn’t sound too bad like the ports where that happened… maybe the Houthis will attempt to hijack it again and then it goes boom with them on it??
I'm gonna say this notion of American bombing toppling Ansar Allah is wishful thinking--because who's gonna march in and do it? If you look at a population map of Yemen, the "rebel" territory is where the major population centers are--the land area each faction controls does not tell the full story. Similarly, for much of the Russian civil war, the Bolsheviks "only" controlled the major population and industrial centers in the west, and western powers did exactly the same thing--they intervened, thought their advanced weapons would turn the tide, and ultimately failed to save a corrupt, dysfunctional, and utterly defeated regime that, for a time, only held most of the map because it was too empty to merit the enemy's attention. The "legitimate" government of Yemen lives in a hotel like a divorced bachelor who just lost his house, and they currently govern a minority of the population and are entirely dependent on the United States and Saudi Arabia to even stay in this war. Aerial bombing did not stop Ansar Allah from advancing and taking territory, and neither will dropping the same bombs from American jets instead of Saudi ones. That's the funny thing--folks talk like bombing this place is a new idea! They're just changing the roundel on the tails of the bombers. Same mission, same strategy, same result--failure. America is always the second stormtrooper through the door. How many times do we have to learn this lesson? American military technology is not some kingmaker that can hand victory to whichever faltering, troop-starved faction in a civil war is most convenient to American interests.
Unfortunately, we have a very weak and inept President right now who will not respond appropriately to any threats against American citizens or our nation. If Trump was President, he would allow the U.S. military to do its job and wipe out the Houthis just as he did when he wiped out ISIS. Thanks Sub Brief for another great video! God bless you!
The Houthis are doing this because of what Israel is doing to Gaza. They’ve openly stated this and also stated that they would stop if Israel stops attacking Gaza. The stopped for the duration of the previous ceasefire. You don’t have to agree with it, but this is why they’re doing it.
@t2zc5or9dThat's not what they said. They literally just explained the reason this is happening according to the Houthis themselves, there's no suggestion at all that we should allow it to keep happening. The comment does of course raise the point that there might be alternative ways of preventing these attacks (ie applying political pressure to Israel to cease the bombardment of Gaza) But you do make an interesting point which I agree with: Just because someone says they have a reason for carrying out military action, we shouldn't just stand by and let them do it if there are serious consequences. (For the avoidance of doubt I think the Houthis can get f***ed and should be removed from power for the sake of the people of Yemen and the stability of whole region. But honestly if their actions in the Red Sea have had an impact on how quickly the international community pressures Israel into a ceasefire then they have had an overall positive impact. Not that the ends necessarily justify the means.)
@@user-ft2zc5or9d My question is, who appointed the United States the guardians of international shipping especially when they are doing a poor job of being the guardians of human rights and international law by turning a blind eye to an obvious genocide in Gaza.
Why is it always the USA and UK at the tip of the spear. Where are the Germans and French. I live in Cyprus and we see military at Paphos airport. There is room for more aircraft as we hear Akrotiri is full. Including, with German personal.
So we would need boots on the ground Ok so you could have marines Land and come from the south. Airborne 101 & 82 drop in (surprise...surprise), 4th I.D. frome the east and Saudi backed troops from the north and all the air power = free Yemen. Who said we can't dream!?

Well in the middle of the Red Sea that doesn’t sound too bad like the ports where that happened… maybe the Houthis will attempt to hijack it again and then it goes boom with them on it??
I'm gonna say this notion of American bombing toppling Ansar Allah is wishful thinking--because who's gonna march in and do it? If you look at a population map of Yemen, the "rebel" territory is where the major population centers are--the land area each faction controls does not tell the full story. Similarly, for much of the Russian civil war, the Bolsheviks "only" controlled the major population and industrial centers in the west, and western powers did exactly the same thing--they intervened, thought their advanced weapons would turn the tide, and ultimately failed to save a corrupt, dysfunctional, and utterly defeated regime that, for a time, only held most of the map because it was too empty to merit the enemy's attention.
The "legitimate" government of Yemen lives in a hotel like a divorced bachelor who just lost his house, and they currently govern a minority of the population and are entirely dependent on the United States and Saudi Arabia to even stay in this war. Aerial bombing did not stop Ansar Allah from advancing and taking territory, and neither will dropping the same bombs from American jets instead of Saudi ones. That's the funny thing--folks talk like bombing this place is a new idea!
They're just changing the roundel on the tails of the bombers. Same mission, same strategy, same result--failure. America is always the second stormtrooper through the door.
How many times do we have to learn this lesson? American military technology is not some kingmaker that can hand victory to whichever faltering, troop-starved faction in a civil war is most convenient to American interests.
So the houthis are using tannerite to harass ships. 🤣
I dont think its tamnerite .
You're the first person to bring up the Saudi's being behind the Houthi's. Everyone else is thinking it's Iran. Good catch.
you 100% misunderstand. I said Saudi Arabia supports the Yemen's government that the Houthi pushed out of the Capital.
If only installing Phalanx CIWS on those tankers, for defensive purposes only, was a viable option.
When President Trump gets back in it will be soulamani all over again
I know that average Yemenis are exhausted by the long war. They just want peace and a halfway decent government.
Unfortunately, we have a very weak and inept President right now who will not respond appropriately to any threats against American citizens or our nation. If Trump was President, he would allow the U.S. military to do its job and wipe out the Houthis just as he did when he wiped out ISIS. Thanks Sub Brief for another great video! God bless you!
What do you think of the Germans sending the Hessen down?
The Houthis are doing this because of what Israel is doing to Gaza. They’ve openly stated this and also stated that they would stop if Israel stops attacking Gaza. The stopped for the duration of the previous ceasefire. You don’t have to agree with it, but this is why they’re doing it.
Ok? Lol just because they have a "reason" that means we should just let them shut down international shipping?
@t2zc5or9dThat's not what they said. They literally just explained the reason this is happening according to the Houthis themselves, there's no suggestion at all that we should allow it to keep happening.
The comment does of course raise the point that there might be alternative ways of preventing these attacks (ie applying political pressure to Israel to cease the bombardment of Gaza)
But you do make an interesting point which I agree with: Just because someone says they have a reason for carrying out military action, we shouldn't just stand by and let them do it if there are serious consequences.
(For the avoidance of doubt I think the Houthis can get f***ed and should be removed from power for the sake of the people of Yemen and the stability of whole region. But honestly if their actions in the Red Sea have had an impact on how quickly the international community pressures Israel into a ceasefire then they have had an overall positive impact. Not that the ends necessarily justify the means.)
@@user-ft2zc5or9dmaybe yeah. It's not like you can stop them anyway, why not talk
@@user-ft2zc5or9d
He didn't say that . He just gave the motivation .
@@user-ft2zc5or9d My question is, who appointed the United States the guardians of international shipping especially when they are doing a poor job of being the guardians of human rights and international law by turning a blind eye to an obvious genocide in Gaza.
Why is it always the USA and UK at the tip of the spear. Where are the Germans and French. I live in Cyprus and we see military at Paphos airport. There is room for more aircraft as we hear Akrotiri is full. Including, with German personal.
Because you need a serious money printing apparatus to run a military industrial complex
You can't stop hooties but you can stop the ships
So we would need boots on the ground
Ok so you could have marines Land and come from the south. Airborne 101 & 82 drop in (surprise...surprise), 4th I.D. frome the east and Saudi backed troops from the north and all the air power = free Yemen.
Who said we can't dream!?

I pay for you tube to avoid adverts. So please can the embedded adverts else it’s goodbye to the channel.
Pay him what these advertisements pay him, or quit your entitlement, the choice is yours
hes sponsored. youre not. you can quit your bitching nerd.
@@apolloaero So we pay for CZcams premium and yet channels want extra revenue on top of that and you expect us to pay them? THAT is entitlement.
@@nonconsensualopinion yt premium is to keep yt from forcing 15 sec unskippable ads on you. A percentage of that is shared with the creator. Sponsors are a whole different thing. Next time you get a bonus at work, turn it down, don't be entitled. Same thing with a raise
Hold up.... you pay CZcams money to make me stop imbedded ads? I will send Gene after YT tonight, sir! He will have his day!
Maybe Houthis don’t like us slaughtering Palestinians🤔
Cool hope they don't lol *drops JDAM*
Of course not they prefer to do the slaughtering
@@ret7army I don’t see Houthis slaughtering women and children.
