    Default Yemen in 2016-2017: an intractable war?

    The Adaptive Transformation of Yemen’s Republican Guard

    An interesting Journal article, notably on how adaptive a formation can be, although the term 'brigade' does not seem to fit when so many soldiers are "ghosts".

    Some of unit-designations are off (for example: author is using designations of ballistic missile brigades as introduced following Hadi's reform of 2012), and author seems not to know about Saleh's contacts to local businessmen and smugglers (who were the ones that brought him to power), but generally: a very good piece.

    Outlaw 09,

    Not a source I would cite.

    On the linked article within the author refers to:
    It was a part of a deliberate and calculated Iranian strategy to conquer the Red Sea. This strategy is revealed in a powerful prophecy in the biblical book of Daniel. As astounding as it may sound, the Prophet Daniel foretold what just happened in Yemen! He even mentions names of individual nations along the Red Sea corridor that will be aligned with Iran.

    Understand the source but then this does tie Iran to Yemen....

    One of the ways they linked the Qasef-1 drone being used in Yemen to Iran's Ababil-II variant UAVs is by its vertical gyroscope, here.....

    That vertical gyroscope has been seen in Iran's Ababil-3 UAV. A few weeks ago, ISIS showed off a captured Ababil-3 in Iraq. Screenshots:
