Yemen Turned into Quagmire for UAE Troops, Tanks

Saturday 15 August 2015
Yemen Turned into Quagmire for UAE Troops, Tanks
Alwaght- The Yemeni army and the Popular Committee units destroyed during the last three days several Leclerc-type tanks used by the invading United Arab Emirates forces in Yemen by firing the Russian-made Kornet missiles.
Yemeni Military sources told Lebanon's Al-Manar TV reporter that a "major Emirati holocaust" took place in Karsh and Al-Mseimir regions in south-east province of Lahj.
Another mass destruction of UAE tanks occurred in Al-Nasr camp in Khor-Maksar region of Aden city, and on the Al-Alam road located between Aden and Abyan provinces in the south, as well as inside Abyan city.
Lecerc is a French-made main battle tank known as AMX-56 Lecerc, and the UAE is largely depends on it during the ongoing aggression against Yemen.
The sources also revealed that losses of UAE forces during the last 72 hours were more than 32 armored vehicles, 14 tanks and 23 military vehicles, in addition to 38 troops and 8 officers killed.
"Special operations unit of the army and the Committees are working within units behind the lines of deployment of the Emirati invading forces in the cities of Aden, Abyan and Lahj," the sources elaborated.
"The major surprises are coming soon and will be earth-shattering. The enemy will only enjoy a defeat that will rupture his army," the sources in the national Yemeni military forces vowed.
Forces loyal to the former Yemeni regime say they are being assisted by ground troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in their battle against Ansarullah fighters and allied forces from the army and the Popular Committees.
Saudi Arabia began its illegal military aggression against Yemen in a bid to undermine the Ansarullah movement and to restore Hadi to power, an ally of Riyadh. 
The incessant bombardments have caused severe shortages in basic necessities in the impoverished state.
According to local sources, the conflict has killed over 5,300 people, mostly women and children, while at least 80 percent of the population is in dire need of aid.
A significant number of governmental buildings, schools, shops, gas stations, markets, stadiums and mosques have been destroyed in the brutal Saudi attacks which have been described by human rights organizations as war crimes.
