Yemen: The recent introduction of submarines by the Yemeni Armed Forces marks a significant development in countering the alliance of the US, Britain, and Israel in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.

The key question arises: What role will this new addition play, and how might it impact the adversaries in naval confrontations?

In recent months, the Yemeni Naval Forces have utilized various weapons to confront their adversaries, including anti-ship ballistic missiles and drones, demonstrating their effectiveness despite claims by the enemy to counter them. The sinking of the British vessel Rubymar stands as a testament to this.

Observers have become increasingly convinced that the Yemeni Naval Forces possess formidable capabilities, and forthcoming surprises are expected to shift the balance in their favor, bolstering Yemen's position in the region. This sentiment is acknowledged even by the Americans and the British themselves. The commander of the Fifth Fleet admitted that the US cannot single-handedly confront Yemen in the Red Sea.

Military expert Brigadier Yahya Al-Mahdi highlights the strategic significance of introducing naval submarines into Yemeni military operations in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. He asserts that this move will have major implications, reshaping military operations in these regions and altering the existing dynamics.

According to Al-Mahdi, the US and Britain, despite possessing advanced weaponry, have proven ineffective in deterring or intercepting Yemeni ballistic missiles, let alone protecting their warships and destroyers. This underscores their vulnerability and incapacity in the face of submarines.

The acquisition of submarines represents a remarkable achievement for Yemen, catching many by surprise. It underscores Yemen's capacity and technological prowess in developing unexpected weaponry. Despite over eight years of US-Saudi aggression, Yemen's military capabilities remain intact, even advancing to this sophisticated stage. The possession of submarines poses a significant challenge to the adversaries in the intense battles in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, significantly enhancing Yemen's ability to target enemy warships and destroyers.

Al-Mahdi emphasizes, "If they struggle against missiles launched from land platforms despite possessing advanced technology, including reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft, then their vulnerability against submarines is even more pronounced."

This remarkable achievement reflects Yemen's ongoing efforts to continuously develop its military capabilities in response to escalating aggression by the Zionist enemy against Gaza and the persistent US-British aggression against Yemen due to its supportive stance towards Gaza, which faces genocide by the Israeli enemy.

In a recent address, the Leader of the Revolution disclosed that the Yemeni Armed Forces had targeted nearly 54 ships belonging to the US, Britain, and Israel in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea within a short period of less than five months. With the introduction of submarines or other unexpected weapons, this number is expected to increase significantly as the scope of war and confrontation expands, surprising many observers.
