ALWAGHT- Following significant backing from the Islamic Resistance in Yemen for the oppressed Palestinians over the past few months, the sharp contrast between the substantial expenses of American and British missiles versus the minimal costs of Yemeni drones has drawn the focus of the global media.
As nearly 7 months have passed since the beginning of the Zionist regime's atrocities against children, what's garnering attention alongside the uneven battlefield is the effective backing of Ansarullah in Yemen for the Islamic resistance in Palestine. The Yemeni army and its supporters, guided by Islamic principles and humanitarian values, have staunchly supported Palestine by utilizing their full capabilities to impede the movement of ships to and from ports under the Zionist regime's control. This has had a significant impact on Israel and its allies.
Despite the United States and Britain launching extensive military campaigns against Yemen to combat Ansarullah, the continued robust operations by Yemeni Islamic resistance forces have underscored the failure and ineffectiveness of the American-led coalition more than ever.
The significance of this stance and the expansive scope of the coalition's failure become evident when comparing the costs of Yemeni drones and missiles to those of American and allied counterparts. Even Western media outlets have overlooked this issue. According to their own reports, the price of each Houthi drone ranges from $2,000 to $20,000, while the cost of the British "Sea Viper" missile system, deployed on the "Diamond" destroyer, exceeds one million dollars per launch. The United States also employs Tomahawk cruise missiles, with each launch costing over two million dollars.
The significant setback faced by the Western powers against the weaponry and unwavering resolve of the Yemenis in an imbalanced conflict has gained global attention.
The excessive expenses incurred by the United States and England to counter the low-cost armaments of the Yemenis have now become a vulnerability for them, prompting reports, albeit with questionable credibility, of efforts to acquire new weapons to counter Yemeni offensive actions.
Recently, the British Army asserted that in January 2024, it tested a new laser weapon named "DragonFire," which could potentially offer a cost-efficient alternative to missiles for targeting drones. It is claimed that the cost of firing this weapon is merely around $12, although it is expected to take several years to become fully operational.
Despite the substantial amounts spent by Western nations on direct and indirect assistance to the Zionist regime, sparking numerous questions and protests among their citizens, these expenses, drawn from the taxpayers' coffers, pale in comparison to the political, social, and reputational costs borne by supporters of Netanyahu's regime.
Following the Gaza war, the Zionist regime, deemed the loser, has squandered both the finances and credibility of its backers, failing to achieve any of the objectives that resulted in the martyrdom of nearly 35,000 individuals. Its reckless conduct has led even its traditional supporters to question their continued backing of this criminal regime, as it jeopardizes their own interests.
