Led by Saudi Arabia, a coalition of Arab states began an intervention in Yemen’s complex civil war. The speed, scope and decisiveness of Saudi Arabia’s action continue to outstand the world, including the United States, which only had a “brief warning that Saudi airpower was about to be unleashed.” The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, who follow the Zaidi school of Shia Islam, the target of Saudi Arabia’s intervention, have strong reason to fear Saudi Arabia, a country with the logistical capability to assemble a large battlefield coalition and a fearsome arsenal. Saudi Arabia has currently massed over 150,000 troops on its border with Yemen, giving rise to fears of a massive conflagration in the Middle East soon. Here are three Saudi weapons of war that should make the Houthis quake in fear.
