News - Yemen: Yemeni Armed Forces capabilities, including air defenses are in constant advancing, the head of the National Delegation Mohammed Abdulsalam said on Wednesday.

"The evidence of air defenses effectiveness is present in the achievements in the battlefield, the latest of which was the downing of two American Scan Eagle and Chinese CH-4 spy drones," Abdulsalam said in a tweet.

He stressed that US-Saudi aggression must realize that it has no choice but to take the initiative to announce a halt to the aggression and lift the siege.

On Wednesday evening, the Yemeni Armed Forces shot down a CH-4 combat drone run by the US-Saudi aggression, while it was carrying out hostile actions over Marib Province using an undisclosed surface-to-air missile.

Earlier in the day, the Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e announced the downing of a US-made ScanEagle spy drone, which was carrying out hostile acts over the same province.

On the 4th of December, the Air Defense shot down another ScanEagle spy drone over Marib.

Enjoying complete arms, logistical, and political support on the part of the US, Saudi Arabia and a number of its allies started a war against Yemen in March 2015 to restore power to Yemen's former Washington and Riyadh-aligned officials.

The war has stopped way short of the goal, while killing tens of thousands of Yemenis in the process and pushing the entire Yemen close to the brink of outright famine.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have vowed, though, not to lay down their arms until Yemen's complete liberation from the US-Saudi aggression.
