What's almost 'amazing' is that the vehicle in question didn't change course: it went straight in. The Saudi skipper appears to have accelerated away, thus evading a direct hit: I would say the vehicle actually detonated in the wake.

BTW, here another of beautiful examples at how when it comes to Yemen, our decision-makers are fed a diet consisting of mix of truths and literal 'no-information': after having cashed at least €50,000 for its 'work' (and perhaps two times as much), the European Union Institute for Security Studies issued the 4-page paper Whatever happened to Yemen's Army.

The first two pages are excellent (well, down to such details like that the Republican Guards eventually consisted of 22 brigades, not of 9, as stated in that paper). Especially the diagram on page 2 is really useful for everybody's orientation. It explains the reasons for rifts that ripped the Yemeni military apart in period 2011-2015.

However, the rest is shockingly useless. For a paper issued in April 2015, it can only be described as a blissful failure to analyse precisely the topic it's discussing: what happened with Yemen's Army.

Namely, had the ladies and gentlemen of the EUISS paid attention, they would have discovered that 60% of that military has sided with the Houthis - which in turn is the primary reason why the Saudi-led military intervention failed to dislodge 'the Houthis' from so much of Yemen until this very day.

In turn, the EUISS could've issued a timely warning of a prolonged war - and thus for all the problems specific EU governments are meanwhile facing due to their arms sales to the Saudis & Co.
