Ballistic missile from Yemen

I take from this that even in Yemen the era of stones and slingshots is over.

Considering how they were shooting ballistic missiles for a long while now and how they destroyed a saudi landing ship using a land based AShM I would say that the era of stones and slingshots was over for a while in that proxy war.

Yes, a good industry to invest in.

From what I know about this, it was the first time a ballistic missile was send against Saudi-Arabia.

I also know that they (Not Saudi-Arabia & Co) have different type of missiles, such as ASM(told by ikalugin) I didn't knew that they had missile with this range.

I also know, sooner or later one of these ballistic will penetrate the air defense and hit civilian in Saudi-Arabia.

I Wonder what Saudi-Arabia will do when this happens.

That is, if they find clear evidence it was and is Iran who have send these ballistic to the opponent.

The industry are those that support the interceptor missile (ABM) business. Iran's program is serviced by a few other nations. I have done work for a company that is a prime contractor for the Patriot. I left my 401k earnings that I made with them. It does consistently well.

There are many countries, friendly ones at that, that are actively threatened by nations with ballistic missiles.

Trying to hold off ballistic missile/nuke warhead development and increasing ABM technology seems sound.

Depending on whom you ask BMD against complex targets seems like a lost cause though.
