The coalition did not disclose the data, which intercepted the missiles and UAVs of the Houthis that attacked Saudi Arabia

On the evening of February 27, 2021, Yemeni Houthis sent four kamikaze drones to cities in southern Saudi Arabia and attempted to launch a ballistic missile attack on the kingdom's capital, Riyadh. The Arab coalition has intercepted the deadly munition and destroyed all specified UAVs that tried to destroy civilian infrastructure, writes the Saudi Arab News newspaper.

An official spokesman, Colonel Turki al-Maliki, said the coalition is closely monitoring activity in the skies. He stressed that attempts by the Houthis from Yemen to attack civilians and civilian objects in Saudi Arabia are a war crime.



Turki al-Maliki added that the coalition is taking all necessary operational measures to protect civilians in accordance with international law. At the same time, the military did not disclose the data on how the UAV and missiles were intercepted.


It should be noted that the above-mentioned attack of the Houthis followed immediately after the repulsed previous one. On February 26, the Houthis sent a pair of kamikaze drones and a ballistic missile into Saudi Arabia, which were also destroyed by the coalition.

Secretary General of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) Nayef bin Falah al-Hajraf condemned the attempts of the Houthis to attack Saudi Arabia. In his opinion, the regular attacks of the Houthis demonstrate their disregard for international law.

He called on the international community to take an "immediate and decisive stance to stop these recurring terrorist attacks" that threaten the security and stability of Saudi Arabia. The Secretary General said that the organization he leads is in solidarity with Riyadh and supports the efforts of the Saudi Arabian authorities to protect their citizens.

      It is probably difficult to pronounce the strange Russian word Pantsir, and even in a similar situation laughing

      It is not at all clear why this event is so important? It looks like they are there in the morning with simple hoes in packs of 5 pieces. Al-Maliki modestly stated:

      No country other than Saudi Arabia has intercepted so many ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, Turkish al-Maliki Arab coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki told Al Arabiya, adding that for now The kingdom intercepted 526 drones and 346 ballistic missiles.

              This is not surprising, you regularly come across all sorts of nonsense.
              These same Patriots?

                      It's time for me to be surprised. Are you not interested in how your friends organize air defense? I don't really care.
                      There are two options, either they did not provide coverage of the base with air defense systems, or the systems are not good for anything. There is, however, a third option .... crooked little hands.
                      Which one is more suitable in this situation, choose yourself.
                      I recommend discussing the issue of having Patriots with Mikola, as a primary source.

                          Secondly, I did not state the presence or absence of Patriots there.
                          If you learned to understand what they write to you, there would be fewer problems.
                          Once again, I strongly recommend that you discuss their presence with the primary source (Mikola).
                          Look for yourself, not tryndite.

                          r.s. The article on the site is fresh. I recommend watching. The organization of the air defense, its effectiveness is perfectly illustrated and the decision on the placement of the Patriots is reflected.

                          It is clear that there were no Patriots there. Therefore, the Iranians were allowed to blow off steam (similar to us in Yugoslavia) by hitting the base with the hiding personnel. And that was the end of the conflict. Well, besides the fact that the Persians also knocked down a civilian plane with their legs shaking with fear.

                          Legs shaking with fear? Let me tell you about fear and shaking legs ..
                          There is a war going on, missiles and drones have been used in the region for a long time. The army claiming to be one of the strongest in the world did not bother installing air defense systems. Why? Is it stupidity or did they just not expect a blow from their fosterlings, barmaley and Iran?
                          And then a fried ostrich pecked in the "rear". "Aggressive" Iran responded with rockets to the killing of its officer at the airport in neighboring Iraq.
                          Rockets arrived. There were not enough places in the bunkers, every fourth person could hide. Those who managed to run in and close the doors sat in concrete boxes, the rest howled in horror and scraped their nails off the armored doors outside until the shelling was over. And then it's time to change diapers.
                          And what was the conclusion made by the command? That's right, place air defense systems, including the Patriots.
                          A little time passed ... History repeated itself. Missiles flew to the base, there is a dead, wounded, legs shaking with horror.
                          Who was allowed to blow off steam this time? Do Americans allow anyone to do this? How is Comrade Kim doing there? Has he accidentally accumulated steam?
                          Where is the air defense? Do you understand that the Patriots were not there? And why?
                          You still don’t understand anything? Either your friends are extremely stupid and careless, or the air defense is not good for anything.
                          Note that you wrote that you "understand", but you do not know. At the same time, you are trying to teach me life. So don't tryndet.

                          The United States has asked the Iraqi authorities for permission to deliver these complexes (Patriot) to the country, which are necessary to cover American bases.

                          This is not their land, the US contingent in Iraq is constantly changing (as well as its plans to deploy it there) and is limited. At the same time, the security of the troops was to be provided by the Iraqi side.
                          Therefore, during the "Iranian" ("steam" raid), no repulse of attacks was required.

                          For the second time, it was not ballistic missiles that arrived, but 122 mm NURSs. These are no longer targets for the Patriot. Jews have been fighting with these for many years.

                          This is really not their land. In this you are absolutely right. As for the rest ...
                          Why would they even need weapons? After all, the safety of American "tourists" should be ensured by Iraq? And in Afghanistan, their security should be ensured by the Afghan army?

                          Have you read the link? It seems no request

                          Subsequently, the US Army deployed air defenses in Iraq, including the Patriot air defense system, to protect itself from further missile attacks.

                          That after the shelling Iraq should no longer ensure their safety? Did they decide to do it themselves?
                          And what are we seeing. Some time has passed, missiles are flying to the American base again, people are dying. And again, "Rafik ne uchem ne vynovat"?

                          For the second time, it was not ballistic missiles that arrived, but 122 mm NURSs. These are no longer targets for the Patriot. Jews have been fighting with these for many years.

                          And they are only preparing to repel what they used to be fired upon?
                          For many years, not only Jews, but also Russians have been fighting with such people. Khmeimim is regularly fired upon. Can't utter these terrible words "a great friend of Americans"? Get up across your throat? sad

                          More wretched and pathetic attempts to justify myself, I have not met. The Americans have been bombarded for a long time and they are not able to provide what the Russians and Jews have been doing for many years.

                          You probably could even sympathize with this situation, it is practically impossible to justify the Americans.

                          In Iraq, the Americans came to the aid of the Iraqi government in the fight against ISIS. ISIS does not have long-range missiles. From whom then to import a full-fledged air defense missile defense system?

                          Which are difficult to intercept for any state due to the short range of their use.

                          But which, as you put it, are being successfully intercepted by the Jews. And Russians, by the way, you could not squeeze out of yourself. What to do, they did not overpower the Kholui nature.

                          And the fight against which is being conducted more by creating a security zone than by air defense forces.

                          Perhaps I will spit at you three times for lying. Air defense at the Khmeimim base regularly do this, and not which security zone. Hopefully the guys from the Middle East will catch up and poke their nose at you in lies. You are claiming that their air defense is not good for anything.

                          And yes, Khmeimim is regularly fired upon - and people are dying there too. Despite the fact that we have such one base and do not spare money for it.

                          Kindly statistics of deaths from shelling on Khmeimim. sad So this is the problem of the Americans !!! Did you feel sorry for the money? Are the Yankees impoverished? Or are there many bases and are simply not able to cover everything? So what is their army worth?

        "Pantsir" is out of business here, dear comrade, so there is no point for the Saudi colonel to memorize an unusual Russian word. Rather, he should get used to the Hebrew name שרביט קסמים (sharvit xamim) - "magic wand". And the Saudis do not disclose this because there is still no official relationship between them and the Israelis, which means that the Israeli air defense and missile defense systems seem to be unable to protect the kingdom's sky, and even when Israeli operators are sitting at the console ...

              Judging by the results, the American hands are not much better than the Arab ones, otherwise they would not have arrived regularly from the base.

          I do not quite agree about the Magic Wand))) Through our channels there was information that Kipat Barzel (Iron Dome) had worked. In any case, judging by the videos that I watched, and this is about ten, very similar. Moreover, Bibi's recent secret visit to the SA and the work of the intelligence services of both countries. There has never been such cooperation before. And there is such an intensification. Although, I think, the States transferred one of the two complexes there. In addition, Muhammad bin Salman has long and openly declared that he is in love with the Iron Dome and hoped that he would stand up to defend their country. Moreover, all of a sudden, during the last exercises, the information was declassified that it perfectly knocks down drones and ballistic missiles on the lower layers.

                  In Syria, it rattles so much that in the Golan the windows are shaking and the rumble is heard for tens of kilometers. The distance is about sixty km. Heard, very distinct. However, an early SANA statement can already be published. Most of the missiles were destroyed, but a few were able to break through. There were no casualties and the attack was successfully repulsed. In general, as always, all missiles have been hit, all targets have been destroyed. By the way, they worked by plane. But, according to the established habit on Russian-language sites, the Israelis do not fly there. Everyone can explain it here. And the fact that they were there is shh. Secret.

                    Learn more about the attack attributed to Israel in Damascus. Syrian sources report that the night attack, attributed to Israel, was concentrated in the HaSaida Zinab area in the countryside of Damascus. A-Saida Zinab is the stronghold of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards and Lebanese Hezbollah. The attack was reportedly directed at the headquarters of the Fourth Division in the Damascus-Beirut area, which contains weapons and missile depots. Belonging to the Iranians and their loyal militias. In addition, the Syrians report that the Israeli attack lasted for about half an hour, during which, in addition to the attack in the HaSaida Zinab area, other targets west and south of Damascus were also attacked. It was also reported that a number of missile depots in the aforementioned areas were destroyed.

          "Shell" is not in business here, dear comrade,

          You so want it. Amers used to be bad at their bases and facilities of the KSA from Houthi missiles to cover. And last year they borrowed the Pantsir from Iraq to protect their base in Iraq and were satisfied. Now the press speaks favorably about him.
          I like this version. There are plenty of Carapaces in the region. 24 for Iraq and 50 for the UAE. There is someone to borrow from. The operators of the UAE, most likely, were seriously trained, since they also took part in the development with money.
          But it is inconvenient for the most technologically advanced power to talk about this out loud. You can't advertise for free the armament of a gas station country with an economy torn to shreds.

            Oh, how everything is running ... The Americans did not borrow the "Pantsir" from the Iraqis, the Iranians, on their own initiative, as the host country, supplied the complex, which they bought from the Russian Federation, supposedly to guard the American base. And he, by the way, did not show himself with anything very positive. So, as the late Zhvanetsky used to say - "It is necessary to be more careful!"

              the Iranians, on their own initiative, as the host country,

              I'm not talking about the Iranians, it is clear that the Iraqis. But the "receiving side" is a super-cynical overkill. Chutzpah. How long did the Iraqis invite them to visit before the Americans agreed?
