The U.S. Middle East Theater Command has raised its attention to Yemen today.

The Houthis shot down eight Saudi fighter jets and shot down a Saudi watchtower early warning plane, much to the surprise of the US military.

If the Houthis used individual anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down Saudi fighter jets, it would not be enough to raise the level of concern for the US military.

However, it is absolutely impossible for an individual air defense weapon to shoot down an AWACS plane, but only a large ground air defense weapon, which is not found in US intelligence.

Being able to accurately shoot down a watchtower early warning aircraft, this record alone is qualified for the US military to raise the response level of the Houthis.

Of course, the most this level is from blue to yellow. color, from general attention to simple attention.

After all, the current focus of the US military is on Iraq, and Yemen, no matter when it happens, has little to do with the current US military.

Several U.S. soldiers who are responsible for paying attention to Yemen's military reconnaissance intelligence are bored to check the latest satellite map of Yemen, because the U.S. military has no drones entering Yemen, and the main intelligence is focused on satellite reconnaissance methods.

It's boring, but you have to be careful.

In the process of checking the latest satellite images, a corporal suddenly exclaimed: "Huh! This place is a bit strange. ”

The others immediately focused their attention, and as the satellite image in question opened, it showed a very suspicious vehicle on the enlarged satellite image on the monitor.

"A few minutes ago, there was no car here at all, and the truck didn't look right." The corporal said.

The face of the US lieutenant on the side changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Of course something is wrong, this is a missile launch vehicle." ”

Hearing the second lieutenant's words, the faces of all the people present changed greatly, and the second lieutenant grabbed the phone next to him for the first time and tried to report the information, but before the phone was connected, the infrared early warning satellite issued an alarm.

The red alert is very glaring, and on the signal display of the receiving satellite, the infrared signal of the missile is flashing.

"Report to the command, there are missiles being launched on Yemen soil, and there are many, many of them."

The news was immediately transmitted to the US Middle East Command, and the tactical missile launched from Yemen was immediately caught by the US infrared early warning satellite over the Middle East, and the alarm was immediately transmitted back to the ground.

The Central Theater Command immediately locked on the missiles and issued a warning to the Saudi army.

The whole process was very timely, from the discovery of the missile launch to the transmission of the message to the Saudi military, there was only a short time, at this time, the missile had already flown to an altitude of 50,000 meters, and was resting in orbit and began to fall.

The Patriot missile defense system equipped by the Saudi air defense forces near the Yemeni border detected the missiles in time, and although the number of missiles is very impressive, a total of eight Patriot air defense missile battalions deployed on the border are also able to intercept most of the missiles.

Radar locks, the computer quickly calculates the trajectory, the missile inside the missile launch canister, ready to launch and intercept.

The whole process was very responsive, and at the same time, the four army stations on the border of Saudi Arabia also sounded the alarm at the first time.

Just as the Patriot missile was about to be launched, one of the trucks exploded violently in a row of vehicles next to the missile launch site.

Not to mention the explosion of dozens of tons of explosives, the huge explosion power instantly blew all the trucks around him into the sky, and the air defense missile position not far away was also lifted away in the explosion, and the missile launcher and the missile launcher were directly dumped on the ground.

The sudden explosion made everyone in the Saudi military camp a little confused, the fire burned, the school field was full of debris splashed by the explosion, and many soldiers who were injured by the explosion were falling to the ground and screaming in pain.

The military commander of the town of Elle, who was also a cousin of Mohammed, a powerful prince in the Saudi royal family, rushed out of his barracks in full gear when he was awakened from his sleep by the great assurance.

"General, we have been attacked, and now there are still a large number of missiles, which are falling towards our camp, anti-aircraft missile positions have been destroyed, and we have no way to intercept them." The adjutant hurried over and made a quick report.

The prince of the army did not pay attention to the adjutant's words, his attention had already been attracted by the dense falling points of light in the sky.

Rapidly falling missiles, with violent friction in the air. It glowed red and fell to the ground like a meteor. Fall down.

The huge camp has already been in chaos, and the school field in front of him is full of panicked people, and on the other side of the school field, there is a large number of army equipment parked neatly.

There are the latest American Abrams main battle tanks, as well as German Leopard 2A6 tanks, self-propelled guns, and a large number of Humvees and armored vehicles.

A large number of soldiers were rushing out of the barracks, and officers were gathering their troops on the school grounds.

If it were an ordinary attack, such a gathering speed would not be slow, but the prince's heart at the moment was full of coldness.

A large number of missiles were falling wildly, and when they were still hundreds of meters above the ground, the fairings of several of the missiles suddenly cracked, and the missile warheads in the fairings were crowded with steel balls the size of an adult's fist.

And this is not a steel ball, each one is a powerful bomb, and under the huge kinetic energy of the rapid fall, a large number of steel balls are sprayed towards the ground.

In just an instant, the entire station resounded with continuous explosions, and the dense explosions were like firecrackers, so that all the Saudi soldiers had no time to react.

At the same time, a large number of missiles were also aimed at the weapons and equipment in the Saudi station, whether it was a submunitive warhead or a direct kill warhead, so that the expensive equipment of the Saudi army was all swallowed up by the violent explosion.

The Saudi army prince suddenly sat down on the ground, and the equipment area in the distance was already covered by a sea of fire, and the missile attack was not aimed at the soldiers' barracks in the station, but at the combat equipment in the station.

Looking at the rows of Humvees and tanks, which were engulfed in flames in the explosion, not only the prince was sitting on the ground, but many Saudi soldiers stood on the school ground, looking confused.

Such an attack, if it falls on their side, there will be many deaths, but I don't know if the other party is merciful or really cruel, the target of the attack is actually equipment, but it is all the main battle weapons of the two main armored divisions!
