>>Just three days ago an aircraft belonging to the Saudi-led coalition was shot down over Yemen by an improvised surface-to-air missile belonging to the the rebel faction.

What in the Wide World of Sports is an “improvised surface-to-air missile”!?

Typically this is not something you can gin up in a 3rd World workshop little removed from blacksmithery.

If it is one of the cash load of weapons that Hilda let out on the open market post Bengazi, that will be a $h!+ storm unto itself...

They took an air-to-air missile and launched it off a rail while on the ground.

They must have rigged the components from an unusable aircraft to create a ground launch system.
