The Pentagon Is No Longer Sure Yemen Fired Missiles At A US Ship

Meanwhile, if you actually look at the original Reuters article, it says the Navy has "confirmed" the first two incidents, it's just not sure about the Saturday one.

Given AEGIS' appalling track record at properly identifying targets (Flight 655, Flight 800), its quite possible the USN has been mis-identifying rocket artillery or tactical ballistic missiles as "anti-ship missiles coming right for us". The horizon, the place (Al-Hudaydah), the geography fit.

So: Saleh or Houthi forces fire their rockets/missiles (these aren't very accurate or long ranged BTW, more like large Grads, some with repurposed SAM motors) at targets north of Al-Luhayyah, which is occupied territory and front line in their war with the Saudis.

These missiles are FO'd and aimed from vantage points further inland. They travel east to west, falling under the visible horizon of American destroyers parked ~200km further west in the Red Sea.

Causes the USN to pee their pants, shooting off interceptors and raising a hullabaloo. Then - it happens again. Now there's "hostile intent". Tomahawks start raining down but the Houthis get bombed regularly and don't even register things as abnormal until reports work their way in and back out (explains the slow response, which took days).

What sank HSV-2 then?

>>31715736
A genuine attack, that happened 400 km away down in Bab Al-Mandab strait. Attack made over a distance of a few kms, on a re-purposed commercial ship identified using small boats and commercial marine radar. Probably the limit of actual Yemeni coastal defense capacity.

Aren't there special places that people like you are supposed to live so that we don't have to listen to you speak?

>>31716646
Nah, man it was used to further this attack on the mason so no one would be suspicious. These false flag people are SMART.

>>31715964
To reiterate the other anon's question: Why would they shoot down Flight 800? What possible goal could they hope to achieve with it? Like, what's the endgame?

>>31716875
There doesn't have to be an endgame. Just need some stupid people and missiles. And naval exercises, and 245 witnesses, and a coverup.

>>31717017
Ok, that makes even less sense.

>Let's do a false flag?
>Why?
>No reason. Let's just do it!
>Ok.
My opponent is s liar and cannot be trusted.

>>31716875
What's the next step of their master plan?

>>31717148
I'm pretty sure he means the shootdown was an accident and instead of admitting it they covered it up.

>>31715106
Told y'all it was probably a RPG. Did you believe me? Nope.

>>31717984
I did.

>>31715645
So much asspulling

>>31715645
Personally, I hope more "Tomahawks reigns down" on those fucks.

Ok

>>31715645
basically this.

Also, the Tomahawks "destoyed" SA-2 SAM radars that were already destroyed by the Saudis month ago.

Or possibly "oops we figured out it was actually the dumbfuck Saudis who shot at us."
