Locally Made Cruise Missiles, Ballistic Missiles, Drones Unveiled At Houthi Military Exhibition, Sign Reads: 'Death To America, Death To Israel, May The Jews Be Cursed'

On July 7, 2019, Al-Masira TV (Yemen) aired a report about the opening of a Houthi military exhibition in Yemen that showcases locally-made ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, spy drones, and attack drones. The opening of the exhibition, which was named after Saleh Al-Samad, a Houthi official killed in a Saudi airstrike in 2018, was attended by Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, who is the president of the supreme political council and the supreme commander and the armed forces. The report showed Houthi officials cutting the red tape at the exhibit and unveiling the equipment, some of which had "Made in Yemen" written on it. A sign at the exhibit read: "Allah Akbar. Death to America. Death to Israel. May the Jews be cursed. Victory for Islam."

Yemeni Minister of Defense Major General Muhammad Nasser Al-Atifi said that the ballistic surface-to-surface missiles are the "long arm" of the Republic of Yemen and that they are Yemen's "strategic deterrence" meant to strike large strategic targets in the "countries of the aggression." He explained that Yemen has short-range, medium-range, and long-range tactical and ballistic missiles, and he thanked Allah, the men of Yemen's missile force, the "heroic" mujahideen on the front line, and the Yemeni people. The names of some of the equipment included Qasif, Sammad, Qahed-M2, Quds, and Badr.

Yemeni Experts Have Developed "Ballistic Surface-To-Air Missiles," "Short-Range, Medium-Range, And Long-Range" Surface-To-Surface Missiles, And Drones: "Some Of The Drones Are Attack Drones, And Some Are Spy Drones"

Maj. Gen. Muhammad Nasser Al-Atifi: "In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Allah said: ‘Prepare for them whatever force...' The ballistic surface-to-air missiles are the strategic deterrent force of the Republic of Yemen. They are the long arm of the Republic of Yemen, and they are meant to strike large strategic targets in the countries of the aggression. We have three kinds of surface-to-surface missiles, as well as strategic surface-to-surface missiles: short-range, medium-range, and long-range. We have an arsenal of missiles that we manufactured and developed with the help of Allah and the heroic, anonymous, and loyal men of the missile force, as well as the Yemeni experts who were able to manufacture these missiles in order to protect the Republic of Yemen.

"In addition, several drones were manufactured, like the Qasif and the Sammad. Some of the drones are attack drones, and some are spy drones. This happened by the grace of Allah, and with the support and directions of the political leadership. I would like to thank the heroic mujahideen on the front lines, the men of the missile force, and the great Yemeni people, who have supported us and enabled us to manufacture these missiles."

Yes folks the jihad in full bloom is coming here and to a lot of other places. The sleepy complacency of the military/intelligence establishments have learned little fro 9-11 other than saddling us with the DHS leviathan to invade the liberties of Americans and TSA grouping. In the meanwhile muzzards show what they are good at, figuring out ways to kill infidels and anyone else they are in a struggle with. This is a veritable poor mans arsenal which can be deployed with some patience inside the Domain of War. The IRA managed a mortar attack on 10 Downing Street. Imagine what a few of these items could do in DC or NYC or LA or anywhere. Fun times coming folks.

Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and drones “locally made” in that bustling center of science and technology known as Yemen. Right.

If with Iranian assistance , both personnel and specific parts these weapons can be made in Yemen it means they can be put together in many places. There are a fair number of Yemenis with adequate technical and engineering skills to assimilate instruction on how to fabricate and assemble these items.

Obummer instructed NASA to reach out to Muslims, and not Christians or Hindus. Maybe this is the result.
