Alwaght – The firing of the first long-range missile by the Yemeni army towards Saudi lands displays the determination and the decision taken by Yemen to change the military equation between the organization and the Saudi regime.
The Scud missile was fired with great accuracy towards its designated target, Khaled bin Abdul Aziz Air Base, which is equipped with "Patriot" anti-missile defense system, donated by the US. It has been assumed that this defense system can intercept and destroy any approaching long-range missile, but once again the claims of the US arms dealers has been proven wrong. Also, the spokesman of the Saudi-led coalition against Yemen has previously announced that the coalition airstrikes has destroyed the entire missile armory of the Yemeni army and Ansarullah. But with all these conditions the Yemeni Army has proved to be capable of creating a new turning point, expanding the conflict scope, and shifting the battle arena into the aggressor's home front.
This event carries several messages and can obtain a great outcome in the political and military arena of the Yemeni crisis.
The first message delivered is that the Yemeni army and Ansarullah are still strong and their armory is still intact after a 3 month brutal aggression conducted by the Saudi regime, and not only they did not get weaker but their progress seems promising to change the war equation.
The second message for the Saudis included in the Scud missile firing is that the Yemeni army and the popular resistance have not utilized all their power, in which their strategic patience creates a great alert for the Saudi regime.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the Yemeni patience will last so long, especially if the Saudis continue with their brutal attacks without any legitimate reason; they must expect a serious action from Yemeni side.
Another point that could be extracted from the recent Yemeni actions is that the missile war has started against the Saudi regime. This issue is very significant due the to the abundance of the security, military, economic, and political targets in the Saudi home front, which make Khaled bin Abdul Aziz air base seem too trivial as a target.
What is also important is that the capability of the Saudis to prevent any harm to those hot targets is still ambiguous. If the Russian Scud missile could penetrate the US Patriot defensive system this time, there is no reason why it cannot in the next missile attack.
Concerning the consequences of the Yemeni army missile attack on the following negotiations, it could be said that the Yemeni side will have the upper hand, especially after that the fugitive Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi accepted to enter the coming talks in Genève due to the fruitlessness of the Saudi aggression.
This conclusion is least what could be said after a continuous three month attack by a fully equipped army on a poor country but with a determined resistance power constituted of the army and the people. Three months passed with no retreat from the Yemeni side and no decrease in the determination of its people. Therefore, there is no doubt that Yemen has gained the upper hand in the following negotiations in advance.
