Houthis claim to have delivered another major serious blow to the Saudi military again, killing hundreds and capturing more, they claim to have destroyed "three Saudi brigades".

Their video evidence however is not conclusive. However it seems that some combat events happened that illustrated again a very poor Saudi performance.

The three brigades claim I do not take serious, since that would mean a major proportion of the Saudi military alltogether. Quick search on the web had me reading they formally maintain three armoured and five mechanised brigades.

It seems that the Saudi military has been systematically overrated and the options of the Yemeniti rebels being systematically underrated. Just maintaining the world's I think third or fourth highest military budget does not automatically make you a military superstar, it seems.
