How Iranian Tech Empowers Houthi Drone, Missile Attacks in Red Sea
(C4ISRNET) Colin Demarest - Houthi rebels harassing crowded shipping lanes "are in possession of some of the most sophisticated copies or variants of Iranian weapons," said Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. They include unmanned aerial vehicles designed for attacks, such as the Wa'eed-2, capable of traveling more than 1,000 miles; anti-ship ballistic missiles; and unmanned surface vessels packed with explosives and dispatched for detonation. "Between Hizbullah and the Houthis, Iran is putting pressure on Israel from both ends, and then they've got Hamas inside of Israel providing pressure internally," said Bryan Clark, director of the Center for Defense Concepts and Technology at the Hudson Institute.
