Exclusive: new footage reveals Sana’a forces targeting a US military helicopter over Yemeni airspace

Field video footage published by the Modern Naval Force account, which focuses on naval military operations, revealed on Saturday an attempt to target a military helicopter over Yemeni skies using a shoulder-launched air defense system by Sana’a forces.

Exclusive Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

The footage shows Sana’a forces targeting a helicopter flying at low altitude after precisely tracking it, an indication of the development of military techniques and weapons possessed by Sana’a forces, particularly in the field of air defense.

The website commented that Sana’a forces were moments away from making history if the operation had succeeded and the aircraft was shot down.

It pointed out that the incident, which occurred at 4:28 local time (without specifying the day), was an unexpected nightmare for the aircraft’s crew.

Military analysts considered that the proliferation of these systems and their reaching the hands of Sana’a forces strategically narrows the military gap and forces hostile international forces to change their tactics, staying away from low-altitude flight, which is vital for providing close support to ground forces.
