PNN – The Yemeni Navy released images of the moment the country’s army’s air defense system targeted a US military helicopter.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the account of the Modern Yemeni Navy, which oversees naval military operations, published field images from the operations of the Sanaa forces, showing the moment a US military helicopter was targeted in the sky of Yemen by the country’s shoulder-launched air defense system.
The released images show Yemeni forces targeting a low-flying American helicopter after careful observation.
According to the Yemeni Al-Khabar website, these images indicate the advancement of military technologies and weapons of the Yemeni forces, especially in the field of air defense.
According to this website, if this operation had been successful and the helicopter had been shot down, Sanaa forces would have been just moments away from making history.
The account also added that the operation, which took place at 4:28 a.m. local time, was an unexpected nightmare for the helicopter crew.
Some military analysts believe that the deployment of these systems and their fall into the hands of Sanaa forces will reduce the military gap at the strategic level and force the opposing international forces to change their tactics and avoid flying at low altitudes, which is necessary for close support of ground forces.
