Houthis may be running low on weapons stocks, U.S. commander says

WASHINGTON — Houthi rebels in Yemen may be running through their supplies of drone swarms and anti-ship ballistic missiles as the pace of their attacks has slowed a bit, the top U.S. Air Force commander for the Middle East said Wednesday.

Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, who heads U.S. Air Forces Central, said that the persistent American retaliatory strikes on the Iran-backed militia group have “certainly affected their behavior. Their pace of operations is not what it was.”


But on the same day as Grynkewich’s comments, U.S. Central Command reported that the Navy destroyer Gravely shot down a missile and multiple drones that were targeting the American warship.

I hope the US doesn't back off destroying everything Houthi based on the assumption they are low on weapons.  The only to be sure Houthis are low on weapons is to destroy them all. :yowsa:

If 'W' was still in office, they would be running out of weapons because US warplanes would be destroying those weapons on the ground.  With Biteme in office, they are running low because they are firing them all at us with impunity.

Hardware is easily and quickly replaceable. The Houthis need to run short of the "software" called Houthis.
