This is coolbert:
First the Houthi have SCUD. Then the Houthi have SCARAB. What else do the Houthi have?
From DEBKAfile:
"Rebel Houthi missile kills 45 UAE troops in Yemen"
4 September.
"The UAE [United Arab Emirates] troops and an ammunition dump were struck by a Soviet-era Tochka missile while taking part in a Saudi-led operation against the Yemeni Houthi rebels in Marib province, some 120 km east of the capital Sanaa. This was the deadliest day for the UAE military in all its 44 years."
Tochka the SS-21 codenamed SCARAB! Tactical battlefield ballistic missile.
"OTR-21 Tochka . . . is a Soviet tactical ballistic missile . . . its NATO reporting name is SS-21 Scarab . . . It uses an inertial guidance system."
NOR is this the first time the Tochka has been used with effect during that Yemeni Civil War.
* "On 20 August 2015, during the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen, Houthi fighters supported by regular Yemeni Army units loyal to ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh fired an OTR-21 targeting a Saudi Naval base"
AND WHERE EXACTLY HAVE THE HOUTHI OBTAINED THE EXPERTISE TO USE WITH EFFECTIVENESS THE TOCHKA? HEZBOLLAH EMBEDDED IN THE RANKS OF THE HOUTHI PERHAPS?

"The Houthi" (presented as just a tribe by Western propaganda) is a whole part of Yemen including central elements of the Republican Guard, which has been operating the Tochka missile system since Ukraine sold it to them.
