There seems to be a pattern developing.

Amnesty International has said the laser-guided bomb used by the Saudi-led coalition to hit a detention centre in Saada, northwestern Yemen, that killed 91 people had been manufactured by US defence company Raytheon.

This “is the latest piece in a wider web of evidence of the use of US-manufactured weapons in incidents that could amount to war crimes”, the watchdog said.

This is not Iron Dome shooting down rockets here. This is the Big Boys. Especially when we launch THAAD for the first time ever in a combat situation

"The Pentagon also said US forces in the UAE activated Patriot missile defences but that it was the UAE’s surface-to-air interceptors that actually struck down the incoming missile."

Must have been PAC-2's. PAC-3's don't miss.

In my avatar, I am looking at a half-scale model of a PAC-3.

Activated doesn’t mean fired. I believe a PAC3 has never missed even in a test. I believe a heard one time it took the second missile to hit the target.

This time it’s drone attacks from a group claiming to be the True Promise Brigade

UAE says it blocked drone attack, shadowy group claims responsibility

The United Arab Emirates said late on Wednesday it intercepted three drones that entered its airspace over unpopulated areas earlier in the day, in the latest attack on the Gulf commercial and tourism hub in the past few weeks.
