A Saudi Arabia-led coalition of states began carrying out airstrikes in neighbouring Yemen on 25 March 2015, heralding the start of a military intervention in Yemen, codenamed Operation Decisive Storm (Arabic: عملية عاصفة الحزم). The intervention began in response to requests for assistance from the internationally recognized but domestically contested Yemeni government, due to a Houthi offensive aimed at its provisional capital of Aden. On 26 March 2015, Yemeni President Hadi arrived at an Al-Riyadh airbase and was met by Saudi Defense Minister Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud as Saudi Arabia and its allies launched airstrikes in Yemen against the Houthis and loyalists forces. His route from Aden to Riyadh was not immediately known.

Warplanes from Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain are also taking part in the operation. In addition, Egypt, Jordan and Sudan are ready to participate in a ground offensive. Pakistan was also called in by Saudi Arabia to join the coalition but decided to stay neutral as it is on friendly terms with both Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Saudi Arabia Enlists Imams In Yemen War


The Saudi Arabian government sent memos to mosques across the country this week ordering religious leaders to use their sermons to create fear about the Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen as a way to build support for the Saudi-led bombing campaign there.

The country’s top imams responded by doing just that in their all-important Friday addresses to their followers. Their speeches often quoted directly from the Ministry of Islamic Affairs’ memo, which referred to the Shiite Houthi rebels in Yemen as “enemies of Islam” and “terrorists.”

Vocativ discovered the document, its trafficking and the general reaction to it by analyzing the social media of Saudis discussing the issue on Facebook and Twitter.

The Saudi ministry asked Imams to emphasize how the Gulf States must fight against the Houthi rebels in order to save Yemen and its people from “the Houthi aggression and oppression.” The memo highlighted the violent methods used by Iranian-backed rebels to conquer large swaths of Yemen, including killing civilians and destroying mosques and Islamic institutes.

The Friday prayer is the most important religious event of the week, and since the early days of Islam, the Friday sermons have been a traditional platform for spreading messages from the khalif, or Islamic leader. After the Friday sermons this week, the government’s document started circulating on Saudi forums and social media groups. The document itself matches up with the sermons, which were widely quoted by Saudi media, showing that Saudi Imams literally repeated the government’s prescribed talking points word for word.

The Saudi-led bombings raids, now in their fourth day, are aimed at restoring Yemen’s president-in-exile Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to power. After fleeing Yemen for Saudi Arabia last week, Hadi spoke at a conference of Arab nations in Cairo, Egypt Saturday. At the same meeting, the Saudis vowed to continue bombing rebel positions until the Houthis withdraw. The fighting in Yemen is, at its heart, a battle between two proxy forces, backed by Saudi Arabia and Iran respectively.

Fake youtube Audio of Saudees asking Israel for help on Yemen!

Saudi-Pakistan co-operation (over decade ado)

Saudi Airforce have F/A-18 Hornet with BVR because they regularly played wargames with Pakistan Airforce over Islamabad & Lahore.

Pakistan didn't have BVR (India did) back then so Pakistan Airforce had to pit themselves against BVR and formulate their war doctrine.

So their air-to-air hardware (BVR) was excellent even over a decade ago which helped Pakistan kill India's cold-start doctrine (which India now denies even having!)

Saudi Pilots are useless; I know that.

Saudi Airforce now:

Royal Saudi Airforce now has:

  1. McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle
  2. McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle
  3. Eurofighter Typhoon
  4. Tornado IDS

Backed by Boeing E-3 Sentry

When you consider Kuwait, UAE and Egypt this video appears to be even more fake.

All in all I see Yemen Air force or Air defence being absolutely useless; you may lose an aircraft here or there due to incompetence of Saudi military & its air force OR UNLESS Iran or Russian decide to give Houthis some SAM and then Saudees will be falling out of the sky like blind bats but until then YEMEN HAS NO CHANCE!
