Doesn’t the US have a navy so big that the next 3 biggest navies combined aren’t as big or something insane like that?
The article itself doesn’t really explain much. Apparently one destroyer managed to hold off 9 hours worth of attacks and the US has mostly been using SAM platforms to shoot down missiles but nothing about how Houthis could actually achieve anything.
I would even cheer for the Houthis if they were fighting to support Palestine even if it is hopeless but they are just doing Somali pirates 2.0 from the look of things.

The egregious cost of interceptors compared to the missiles themself make it possible for even Yemen to drain US military assets in the region.
