PNN – A senior military official in the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) admitted the failure of the US against the Yemeni armed forces in the Red Sea and said that the actions of the Yemeni army are amazing and the US military should stay away from the Red Sea.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, quoting from the “Axios” website, “Bill LaPlante,” Deputy Secretary of Defense and senior official of US arms sales, said that Yemen now has the technology to build ballistic missiles that only developed countries around the world have.
Speaking at the “Defense Future” summit in Washington, he pointed to the high military power of the Yemeni army and added: The Yemeni army has become terrible. I am an engineer and physicist and have worked in the field of missiles my entire career, what I have seen of the actions of the Yemeni armed forces affiliated to Sana’a in the last 6 months has amazed me.
The senior sales official at the Pentagon continued: Yemeni armed forces use more advanced weapons, including missiles, which can do amazing things.
He added: “If a ballistic missile hits the American warship, it will mark a very bad day for us, so we must move away from the Red Sea.”

Referring to the recent drone attack on an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean and 2 American destroyers in Bab al-Mandab by the Yemeni armed forces, LaPlante said: What happened in the Red Sea shows that the Yemenis have become fearful after having missile capabilities.
After the Yemeni armed forces announced that they targeted the aircraft carrier Abraham and two American destroyers with ballistic and cruise missiles and drones, the military capabilities of Yemen have been the focus of the American media.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces, announced last Tuesday that three US Navy ships were targeted in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean with a number of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones.
Yahya Sarei also added: In another operation, 2 American destroyers were targeted in the Red Sea with a number of ballistic missiles and drones, and by the grace of God, this operation successfully achieved its goals.
The Yemeni army has also carried out several successful missile and drone attacks on the occupied territories, especially Tel Aviv.
The forces of the Yemeni army have pledged to continue attacking the ships of this regime or the ships bound for the occupied territories in the Red Sea until the Zionist regime does not stop its attacks on Gaza.
