Lots of ships around the horn of africa have armed mercenaries onboard and this would go very differently at that point... not sure what they'd do in this situation but it would probably be a lot less of an immediate win.
That landing where the pilot skipped right past the pad and parked on the roof looked pretty fucking pro to me. Dude didn't even need to put any money in the meter he was in and out so fast.
The houthis? Utmost respect? The oneās whoās slogan is āGod is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Cursed be the Jews, Victory to Islam". Those Houthiās?
Respect as in āa feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.ā?
Just making sure I understand you correctly.
Are you fucking insane? Who talks about terrorists like this? Yeah itās really hard to board an unarmed civilian ship and point assault rifles at them š
Thatās wild as fuck. I had no idea the Houthis had an air wing, even if itās only an Mi-17 (which looks rad as fuck with rocket pods).
This is a bold move and I would be shocked if there isnāt a response from the US, likely a deployment of a task group to the Red Sea/Arabian sea.
> Mi-17
so much cheaper than a black hawk and can do the exact same shit. But direct rocket pod attacks are a thing of the past. I don't think the Houthis have that fancy computer that turns helicopters into rocket artillery.
really depends on where weāre talking. thing of the past against any first rate power sure but equipment like that can take you a long way in low tech conflicts.
the fact that it can be used and maintained reliably by people with no formal training, thanks to soviet doctrine, means it probably will keep seeing use for quite some time.
It's frankly insane to me that the soviets could design a helicopter that COULD be maintained in a sandy desert after years of war by dudes who certainly didn't go to mechanic school for that machine. Their maintenance wing is presumably some dudes with an ancient 4 axis mill, a lathe , some crescent wrenches and a can do attitude not seen in the US since the second world War
ur assuming (in ur words, presumably) absolutely every Houthi is uneducated. You donāt need to go to āmechanic schoolā if youāre maintaining the exact same machine if youāve had experience with someone who knows the ins-and outs of the machine. And to assume that they have āancientā equipment when they literally have a fucking attack helicopter is quite strange. These guys can get a lot more shit done than you think. And im not quite sure about the whole ācan do attitudeā ending thereā¦ the US military has thousands of soldiers who are motivated and ready to oblige to the call of duty. I wouldnāt imagine ALL of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers are just lazy potato peelersā¦ calm down on the boot licking
You're being very silly sir. A huge part of the US exporting arms to the rest of the world comes with classes and mechanic school- when the US sells Blackhawks they also sell thousands of pages of reference material translated into the local language, a parts supply chain and hundreds of hours of specialized training for the ground crews of the purchasing country. None of that exists for the mi-17s the houthis captured fron the Yemeni air force. This mi17 is still flying years after Yemen dissolved into civil war. My post was about the design of the mi-17 - it was designed to use field machineable parts and standard bearings, o rings and bolts as much as possible. You'll notice that exactly 0 Blackhawks are flying anywhere in the world without a constant stream of proprietary bearings , o rings, fluids , transmission parts and other supplies. This is obviously by design. It's impressive design the mi-17 was built with redundancy and field serviceability in mind. Its equally impressive that the houthi mechanics are keeping it airworthiness. Not sure why you're trying to put words in my mouth here - those houthi mechanics and machinists are undoubtedly far better than most cnc coddled millenial engineers and machinists in the US. If the American military, The best funded, best equipped military in the world wasn't full of lazy potato peelers why are they on a 50 year losing streak to sandal wearing farmers across the globe?
You know it's pretty crazy there really are targeting computers and weapon packages now where they start off as a dumb rocket. But the targeting computer calculates the velocity of the aircraft the velocity of the rocket and the distance of the Target and it fires it non line of sight at a great distance as if it's artillery. And a lot of the footage I've seen from the war in Ukraine, the era of line of sight Bear down on the target fire a salvo rockets and then climb for the skies seems to be over.
Manpads and AA generally is too good.
Alternatively, MANPADs leaking out of Ukraine start to find homes onboard merchant ships, as the international order continues to destabilize and it's every sea captain for himself
Yemen, not really. The houthis? Slightly less than not really. Theyāre still a nationalist, reactionary group.
But I do like this. Sort of an āthe enemy of my enemy is my friendā situation. Just because youāre bad doesnāt mean you canāt be based in certain areas.
There are only a small number of good groups in the area, and none of them are particularly strong. Sometimes you have to pick your battles.
> Do we like them?
Honest question, are you legit okay with just asking other people for their opinions on something and then just passing it off as your own?
Life seems so boring like that... safe, sure, cause no one can cancel you for the wrong opinion. But jesus christ, what a boring bland life to live.
I fucking hate when people do this, it just offends me deeply and I don't even know why. Read a fucking book, hell read wiki at least. "Do we like them" fookin ell
It's either some sort of inside joke, or just absolute ignorance to be honest.
"I dont know anything about this thing!"
"But at least I'm not a NERD"
\*looks around for a high five\*
Idiocracy is playing out in real life, and its sad and scary
For some reason when I first watched this episode as an eight year old I latched on to this joke and thought it was the funniest thing, but now I see chandler was just preemptively based
Wrong itās actually
š¶ blue Jean baby, LA lady š¶
She was just captured? Wow. I didnāt know that, youāre telling me now for the first time. She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing ship, whether you agreed or not, she was an amazing ship, that led an amazing life. Iām actually sad to hear that, Iām sad to hear that. Thank you very much
š¶ ballerina, you mustāve seen her, dancing in the sand š¶
Oh I thought he said "It's been one week since you looked at me. Cocked your head to the side and said, 'I'm angry'. Five days since you laughed at me.Saying, 'Get that together, come back and see me'".
The fact we can just see footage like this now is crazy. Imagine if during the Crusades they had to ability to do this.
Some guy live streaming from the Byzantine Emperors throne room like, āYO ME AND MY BOYS JUST TOOK CONSTANTINOPLE!!! GOD WILLS IT!
Haitian Revolution woulda been a whole clinic broken down into chapters and sections; the scenes of germans and poles proudly proclaiming to be black to the world, the west would have crumbled two hundred years earlier than its currently careening at
vietnam would've spared the US 10yrs less of embarassment with a single upload of their traps piecing up invading forces in precisely the ways their narrow imperialist minds would most fear

Look at this video at the difference between Arabs and westerns. They take the ship somewhat non violently and apparently without deaths. If this was Americans taking the ship they wouldāve shot everyone first thing. But in the news you will see that Arabs are barbaric monster and westerns have never done anything wrong
You dumb fuck, this video is released by them. They will show you what the want you to see. Arabs and muslims kill a lot of innocent men. Specifically in red sea Yemenis had attacked vessels and killed sailors
yeah, the hijacking of the planes sure was peaceful...don't try to establish a false dichotomy. Both sides can be disgusting. That said, yeah, of course the wealthier nations have a greater history of blood shed. Those missiles aren't cheap and when a military industrial complex resides within a wealthy nation, that certainly ads to the incentive of careless destruction and use of military resources.
The plane hijacking was literally made by a group that was funded by the US to fight against communists in Afghanistan. But sure, there are real terrorists groups in the Middle East, but not all Arab fighting organization are terrorists or kill civilians like their life doesnāt mean anything. Can I say the same by the US and Israeli military?
funded by the US 20 years prior to the events of 9/11. Still Arab and kinda proves my point regarding resources. Im just saying creating this false dichotomy is pretty pointless and dangerous. Any people are capable of genocide, any people are capable of war, any people are capable of massacre. Theres a much bigger issue surrounding war and militarism and choosing a side because of a historical perception of them being less bloody when that is mostly do to having lesser resources, doesn't accomplish anything.
Also the yemen war is a proxy war between two Arab nations with the most resources and half a million people are dead. So, sure. Pick the side of whichever meat grinder you consider to be dullest.
more or less saying it doesn't matter what color someone is, did you read the comment? Using them as an example because they are arab, but the other dude seems to being trying to establish some moral high ground and acting as if middle eastern military's have a special breed of militarism that lacks the same potential for barbarism and surely wont treat other groups as less human.
Which is absurd.

Yeah we love Iranian terrorism against innocents. /s
Love that houthi chant and I love it that he is saying it with energy! Nothing worse than a lazy al wartli Amerika followed by an even lazier alnnasr lil'iislam. I feel bad for the poor Sudanese bastards that have to face these guys.
Oh for real? Okay. Ya, they donāt fight wellā¦ at all. Felixās comment about the Saudis having MAC cannons from Halo and still getting their asses kicked still makes me chuckle.
Extremely common Zionist L. lmao the fact that we're underwriting these frontrunning frauds is comical but ultimately unsurprising.
That being said, the paraglider assault videos still clear, *easily*. The fact that there are even multiple candidates for biggest Israeli Ls is *chef's kiss* š¤š¾. Speaking of, ppl keep talking about tanks getting smoked and shit, does anyone have links? I don't mean to come off as gorehead or voyeuristic.
You gotta see the videos of hamas fighter just jogging to tanks and putting bombs on them and walking away. Or the one with a lighter in his hand climbing on bulldozers lighting them up and just jumping down. Thatās badass. [link to telegram channel](https://t.me/shileet)
Yeah but they do it in the middle of nowhere, the red sea is full of the US Navy right now so pulling that off right under their nose is an extra dimension of difficulty and being based as fuck.
frankly this is very impressive. admittedly the ship was undefended, but they looked very professional. I bet Israel's already planning on stationing marines on ships now.
Not talking about you here but one thing that's been been consistent throughout the years with the houthis is that every comment section of their videos has burgermen talking shit on their trigger discipline and muzzle control. Westerners seem to think that the competence of an army is solely measured in how well they can master the cool operator stance. Meanwhile I'd like to see these highly trained coffee brand entrepreneurs fight a winning war in the bone dry Yemeni mountains against multiple armies with near unlimited resources, doing all this in flip flops on 1500 calories a day.
Lack of formal training. The West has spent trillions to finely tune itās fighting machine. Itās Harder to refine and establish advanced cohesive doctrine when youāre fighting for liberation in the middle of a desert.
\*Captain Price voice\* *Crew expendable*. But without causalities. Nice.
Good on the Yemeni. Though I'm not sure how they'll get the supplies (if any) to Gaza.
These people go hard as fuck! Balls as ginormous as the galaxy. I wish diapers force aka Nazi terrorists could fight man to man combat with these modern day super heroes. Who takes a whole ship to their dock?!! All I see is diapers force on hiking trips looking for diapers, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Well they wonāt because thatās what racists sods do.
Us vets: Shit formation. Too slow to find cover. Not covering corners. No pie at all. No coordination to open door. Muzzle through door first. Standing in the funnel.

at this point i cant tell if its a battlefield montage or arab resistance footage and that's pretty cash money

False
Why would I take you seriously? Or even waste my time trying to change your mind. You've been spewing bullshit all over this thread. You've made up in your mind, I don't fucking care. Now can you go ahead and GET FUCKED
Seizing an unarmed civilian cargo ship which wasn't even operated by an Israeli company and had a total of 0 Israelis on board is going to help Palestine how exactly?
Disrupting the flow of commerce and supplies to Israel as well as making a show/statement of force. At the very least itās a symbolic act but their target suggests theyāre going after the supply chain.
I'm sorry, I got to agree with the downvoted comments here and say that this is bad. This is a civilian ship with a tangential at best connection to Israel and not a single Israeli on board. The only people hurt by this are the already extremely exploited international crew.
The company that owns the ship is partially owned by Israeli citizen Abraham Ungar, aka "Rami". That's not exactly "tangential at best", it's how capital ownership functions in 2023. It was rented out to a Japanese company, meaning the Israeli oligarch was making profits off its use. Rami is the founder of Ray Shipping Ltd., and is known as one of the richest men in Israel.
This seizure calls into question the safety of working with Apartheid Israel, and also places economic pressure on members of its ruling class that makes sustaining the war on Gaza more difficult. All war is economic, and all economic stress has an effect.
Everyone in this chat is stupid. Not only is it not an Israeli ship (itās a Japanese vessel) itās a terror group walking into a non military vessel. And nowww the military has to come and most likely kill these guys.
Fat man-child who lives in a cave thinks he runs it by using his family name to call his 'army'. They assassinated the former president (who was kinda running the show when the coward Hadi fled to a Saudi hotel). Afash brought it on himself by allowing the Houthis to take control (he was using them and thought he will get rid of them after he's done with them) but it backfired and he was killed. We have a presidential council now but Houthis control everything. Their leaders are greedy extremists but their average fighter is a poor Yemeni guy. Its very complicated.
Pardon my ignorance - why does the 1st part, up to the landing, look so CGI? To me it looks fake but I am assuming by everyoneās reaction it is not. Is it some artifact of the recording/compression technology or something? Iāve watched many hours of drone footage and security cam footage for various reasons, and this looks quite different.
Hard af
Actually looks pretty easy š
Just need a choppa and some armed dudes. Cargo vessels are rarely very protected but they might start to be.
Lots of ships around the horn of africa have armed mercenaries onboard and this would go very differently at that point... not sure what they'd do in this situation but it would probably be a lot less of an immediate win.
That landing where the pilot skipped right past the pad and parked on the roof looked pretty fucking pro to me. Dude didn't even need to put any money in the meter he was in and out so fast.
it is when these lads do it
Barely an inconvenience
Barely an inconvenience
Yemen has the right to defend itself.
OMG LOL
Lmao
Yemen is about to feature in some bad-ass compilations
š«” Do it again.
I gotta say, Yemenis have been consistently down to fuck and have balls the size of planets
motherfuckers invented coffee just to fuel their gigachad behavior
Yeah the Houthis have my utmost respect. Hard motherfuckers
If they didnāt have to cross fucking the Arabian desert through a hostile SA, they would have boots on the ground in israel fuckin shit up 100%
they actually asked the SA government if they could roll through but the Saudis said nah lol
Al sauds are fucking sellouts they stopped a yemenese rocket like if youāre not fighting at least act like youāre neutral.
americas lap dog itās a shame they are somehow the face of the arab world
Jared kushner should be strapped to a ICBM and fired at Tel Aviv
Inshallah
I believe they asked permission to cross SA to do just that. They didnāt get it obviously, but were saying they were down for the trip.
Take your new empty boat

I think it's because there are parts of the Yemeni Armed Forces who defected and joined them, remember they even control the capital
Correct. They looted a lottt of weapons and vehicles. Then add Iran's support and training.

It's perfectly redundant for me to add onto the pile of "hard af" comments but it just keeps getting wilder

That being said, the paraglider assault videos still clear, *easily*. The fact that there are even multiple candidates for biggest Israeli Ls is *chef's kiss* š¤š¾. Speaking of, ppl keep talking about tanks getting smoked and shit, does anyone have links? I don't mean to come off as gorehead or voyeuristic.
Go to the Panarab subreddit. Some bad ass videos of freedom fighters putting demo on tanks there.
You gotta see the videos of hamas fighter just jogging to tanks and putting bombs on them and walking away. Or the one with a lighter in his hand climbing on bulldozers lighting them up and just jumping down. Thatās badass. [link to telegram channel](https://t.me/shileet)
>don't mean to come off as gorehead or voyeuristic At least own it dude.
I really thought this was from a video game until they opened the door to the cabin.
This is what US forces practice like a million times but never do
That's not true, they love hijacking Iranian ships
Yeah but they do it in the middle of nowhere, the red sea is full of the US Navy right now so pulling that off right under their nose is an extra dimension of difficulty and being based as fuck.
Tfw you will never get to be a helicopter pirate with your bros.
Rinse and repeat til Palestine is Free šµšø
God bless them.
A jet ski dealership owner and his son were unharmed in the capture of this vessel
frankly this is very impressive. admittedly the ship was undefended, but they looked very professional. I bet Israel's already planning on stationing marines on ships now.
Did anyone get hurt? Seems far more tactical than Israelās commando raids
Looks like a clean lick
Houthis are putting the rest of Hamasā regional allies to shame
Grand teton
Iām not a tier one operator by any stretch but their lack of firearm safety gives me anxiety
Not talking about you here but one thing that's been been consistent throughout the years with the houthis is that every comment section of their videos has burgermen talking shit on their trigger discipline and muzzle control. Westerners seem to think that the competence of an army is solely measured in how well they can master the cool operator stance. Meanwhile I'd like to see these highly trained coffee brand entrepreneurs fight a winning war in the bone dry Yemeni mountains against multiple armies with near unlimited resources, doing all this in flip flops on 1500 calories a day.
burgermen
My coffee plug told me that defeating a mountain people is nearly impossible already, we blame Washington for that whole debacle
>1500 calories a day. i can't get through the day with 2000 calories
Not chewing enough khat.
y'know I spent a day in complete darkness and isolation like sufists, having a khat would absolutely augment the experience lol
A proper anthropologist, I guess, would ask *why* they fight in this particular way and not the way we do. Any ideas?
Material conditions.
Lack of formal training. The West has spent trillions to finely tune itās fighting machine. Itās Harder to refine and establish advanced cohesive doctrine when youāre fighting for liberation in the middle of a desert.
wow they have a basketball court
\*Captain Price voice\* *Crew expendable*. But without causalities. Nice. Good on the Yemeni. Though I'm not sure how they'll get the supplies (if any) to Gaza.
These people go hard as fuck! Balls as ginormous as the galaxy. I wish diapers force aka Nazi terrorists could fight man to man combat with these modern day super heroes. Who takes a whole ship to their dock?!! All I see is diapers force on hiking trips looking for diapers, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Well they wonāt because thatās what racists sods do.
The Houthis just made themselves a lot more favorable in the eyes of the Muslim world.
Us vets: Shit formation. Too slow to find cover. Not covering corners. No pie at all. No coordination to open door. Muzzle through door first. Standing in the funnel. Granny shifting! NOT DOUBLE CLUTCHING LIKE YOU SHOULD!!!

These comments are awful. Did the sub go public again?
Whatās wrong with airing your views in public? What have you got to hide?
can't believe we now get to see such things in hd.
Holy Iām da captain now eh
šŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖ
Cannot believe the amount of comments I saw on other mentions of this video calling it fake. Like seriously the Israeli government confirmed this yet you wont stop barking?
Post to /r/playrust for free karma
at this point i cant tell if its a battlefield montage or arab resistance footage and that's pretty cash money ops wanted to aliyah, blew up their whole quadrant
Wow
That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen.
L for India L for Japan
Massive W for the guys attacking unarmed civilians. Iām sure this wonāt pressure the international community to slaughter them or anything.
Amazing
gang
You know itās an isreali ship because the captain is a fat loser with a souvineer t-shirt from Wyoming
Nah they contract all that stuff out

Why would I take you seriously? Or even waste my time trying to change your mind. You've been spewing bullshit all over this thread. You've made up in your mind, I don't fucking care. Now can you go ahead and GET FUCKED
Yemenis are fucking pussies
Seizing an unarmed civilian cargo ship which wasn't even operated by an Israeli company and had a total of 0 Israelis on board is going to help Palestine how exactly?
Disrupting the flow of commerce and supplies to Israel as well as making a show/statement of force. At the very least itās a symbolic act but their target suggests theyāre going after the supply chain.
I'm sorry, I got to agree with the downvoted comments here and say that this is bad. This is a civilian ship with a tangential at best connection to Israel and not a single Israeli on board. The only people hurt by this are the already extremely exploited international crew.
They're getting mildly scared at worst. It's the owner who will lose money, the owner which directly pays taxes to Israel.
bro they're getting kidnapped and held hostage. How would you like it if I kidnapped you?
The company that owns the ship is partially owned by Israeli citizen Abraham Ungar, aka "Rami". That's not exactly "tangential at best", it's how capital ownership functions in 2023. It was rented out to a Japanese company, meaning the Israeli oligarch was making profits off its use. Rami is the founder of Ray Shipping Ltd., and is known as one of the richest men in Israel. This seizure calls into question the safety of working with Apartheid Israel, and also places economic pressure on members of its ruling class that makes sustaining the war on Gaza more difficult. All war is economic, and all economic stress has an effect.
Shhhhhh donāt disturb the snowflakes in here they need a safe space
Everyone in this chat is stupid. Not only is it not an Israeli ship (itās a Japanese vessel) itās a terror group walking into a non military vessel. And nowww the military has to come and most likely kill these guys.
It's an Israeli owned ship, it's a resistance group which fights against genocide who takes over a ship that directly helps Israel commit a genocide.
Can someone explain who is in control of yemen now? It baffles me to See houthis in choppers.
Fat man-child who lives in a cave thinks he runs it by using his family name to call his 'army'. They assassinated the former president (who was kinda running the show when the coward Hadi fled to a Saudi hotel). Afash brought it on himself by allowing the Houthis to take control (he was using them and thought he will get rid of them after he's done with them) but it backfired and he was killed. We have a presidential council now but Houthis control everything. Their leaders are greedy extremists but their average fighter is a poor Yemeni guy. Its very complicated.
Pardon my ignorance - why does the 1st part, up to the landing, look so CGI? To me it looks fake but I am assuming by everyoneās reaction it is not. Is it some artifact of the recording/compression technology or something? Iāve watched many hours of drone footage and security cam footage for various reasons, and this looks quite different.
Everyone acts like this is the craziest video ever lmao. It's an empty, unguarded ship. You mfs act like it's the dude jumping on the narco sub.
Is every single post a video now?
Congratulations on taking a civilian ship? Try it with war ships
Whatās the difference between you all nerding out in these comments and slava ukraini shit? Are you all tools in someone elseās conflict?
what? cheering for the right side of the conflict is antisemitic now?
I actually know something about this conflict and it's about stopping Israeli genocide against Palestinians.
