The Houthi Drone Fleet & The Red Sea War

The recent clash on November 16, when a US warship shot down a Houthi drone and the alarming events, including the Houthis firing cruise and ballistic missiles towards a US warship on October 19 and successfully downing an advanced US MQ-9B drone near Yemen on November 8 clearly indicate the potential and capabilities of the Houthis. The Houthis are one of an arc of Iran-supported non-state actors which have been attacking Israel and the US since October. Like Hezbollah, the Houthis are the world’s only non-state actors with cruise and ballistic missiles. They have one more ace in their arsenal - a fleet of drones.
