During the armed conflict in Yemen, the supporters of the movement "Ansar Allah" (Houthis) and their opponents are actively used anti-tank guided missiles.

So, in social networks, a video appeared, which captured the moment of the attack by the Houthis ATGM of a driving Toyota car.

The driver apparently noticed the threat and tried to avoid the hit at high speed. However, there was almost no chance of avoiding defeat - the operator of the complex accurately aimed a deadly projectile at the rear of the pickup truck.

The dust cloud formed after the explosion does not allow you to see the damage caused by the vehicle.

According to military experts, thousands of missiles have already been used since the beginning of hostilities. Among them were seen, among other things, old Soviet "Babies" of the first generation with manual control.

Second-generation semi-automatic systems, such as the Bassoon, Konkurs, and Metis, the Cornet, and its Iranian counterpart, the Dehlaviyeh, were massively used.

In Yemen, for the first time, a Javelin analog was tested - the South Korean third-generation ATGM LIG Nex1 Raybolt. Interestingly, this very expensive missile was hit by a motorcycle of the rebels traveling at high speed.

Of course, in addition to two-wheeled vehicles, more serious equipment, such as tanks of various types, is also destroyed. These included both the old T-34, T-55 and T-62 delivered from the USSR, as well as American M1A2S Abrams, French AMX-30, armored vehicles, APCs and IFVs.
