Saudi Arabia, which launched the war in Yemen, suffers one defeat after another.
Now the troops of Riyadh and the Saudi coalition are retreating on almost all fronts. The situation is particularly difficult for the Saudis in the province of Marib.
It is obvious that the success of the Yemeni rebel movement "Ansar Allah" is caused by the supply of the latest Iranian weapons. Iran's military industry supplies the Houthis with its new products, which are tested directly in combat conditions.
So, the air defense of the rebels shot down the Chinese reconnaissance and strike UAV CH-4 of the Saudis. A Chinese man was "swamped" in the province of Marib during an attempt by Saudi forces to repel the offensive.
Apparently, the latest Iranian air defense system was used for this purpose. In connection with the appearance of such systems in the theater of military operations, airstrikes from small and medium altitudes of Saudi aviation are turning into a lottery, Free News says.
The downed CH-4 drone is an analog of the American MQ-9 Reaper. On its basis, the Chinese made the CH-5, which is practically indistinguishable from the American original source. Since the CH-4 is not so technologically advanced and significantly cheaper, it is very popular in the armies of the Middle East.
