Yemen: The Yemeni Armed Forces recently unveiled new weapons and terrifying tactics for their enemies during their latest military exercise.

The exercise also affirms what Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi stated last week regarding recent developments: that Yemen's military is capable of dealing painful blows to the enemy and is committed to continually enhancing its military capabilities across all domains.

Political and military expert Colonel Mujib Shamsan explained that this exercise, conducted along the western coast, was not merely a show of force. Rather, it was an intensive military preparation activity, bearing significant messages intended for all potential adversaries.

It warns anyone contemplating aggression or occupation of Yemeni land, especially during this sensitive period in which Yemen and Palestinian resistance allies in Lebanon and Iraq are confronting Zionist forces. The exercise serves as a challenge to U.S. efforts aimed at breaking Yemen’s autonomous decision-making, which has had notable impacts on Israel and its Western supporters.

Shamsan further noted that American attempts to exert influence in the Red Sea to undermine Yemen's sovereignty were thwarted by Yemen's capable military, which forced American forces and their allies to withdraw. This exercise demonstrated Yemen’s capacity to deflect aggression and deny U.S. claims and maneuvers.

The maneuver also sent messages to Israel and the United States, conveying that Yemen has developed advanced indigenous deterrent systems and continues to produce high-capability, modern weaponry. 

The Armed Forces are prepared to face any further aggression involving the United States and its allies in Yemen. American, British, and Zionist powers are warned that they will not escape the consequences of any reckless actions against Yemen. The coalition’s failures over a decade—both at sea and in the air—stand as a testament to this.

Shamsan emphasized that the maneuver was conducted along the western coast, an area that has faced repeated aggression from American, British, and Zionist forces. This is a clear message of defiance, showing that Yemen’s Armed Forces remain undeterred by any threat from the United States, Britain, Israel, or any Western powers. 

He stressed that any hostile movements will be met with a swift and decisive response from the Yemeni military, reaffirming that intimidation will not deter Yemen from its support of Gaza. Furthermore, Yemen is prepared for an open war with the U.S. and its allies, should Washington decide on such a path.

Regarding the nature of the maneuver, Shamsan noted that it was a clear demonstration of Yemen’s readiness to repel any large-scale aggression across all fronts. This was evident from the exercise’s simulation of various land and sea offensive operations, where enemy forces launched four successive, virtual waves of attack on Yemen soil.

He highlighted Yemen’s impactful role in supporting resistance efforts, particularly against Zionist forces, while undermining American influence. Yemen’s strategic location in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has dealt a significant blow to American arrogance in the region. Thus, recent American maneuvers and talks about occupying Hudaydah and Yemen’s western coast were met with clear messages from Sana’a, declaring Yemen’s readiness for all possible scenarios.

According to Shamsan, this military exercise and the display of Yemen’s deterrent power serve as a strong message to the American aggressors that the Yemeni people and their military forces are fully aware of all enemy maneuvers. Yemen’s forces are committed to continually strengthening their military capabilities.

Shamsan further revealed that a new maritime weapon was showcased during the exercise, a submarine drone named “Al-Qaari’a.” It creates a devastating explosion, possesses high stealth capabilities, and can target major American warships. This is a clear message, supported by the use of new types of mines not previously deployed in Yemeni naval operations, aimed at any enemy thinking of attacking or occupying Yemeni waters.

Concerning American proxies, Shamsan stated, “Those forces must realize that after eight years and over 274,000 airstrikes, they have achieved nothing significant. Now, with the Yemeni people more united under leadership and more aware of enemy schemes, Yemen’s military power has grown tremendously, thanks to the grace of God and the guidance of our political and military leaders.” Any further adventure on behalf of the Zionists will lead to the collapse of their image, tarnishing their reputation among those supporting the so-called republic or “Guardians of the Republic.”

Therefore, Yemen and its Armed Forces are firm in refusing any hostile actions in what they view as the “Promised Victory and Sacred Struggle.” Any move against Yemen will serve the interests of the Zionist entity and Western powers but will be met with severe and unrelenting force from Yemen’s Armed Forces. Mercenaries should understand that they will not be spared the consequences of reckless actions, and the U.S. should learn from its failures in Yemen’s skies and seas.
