News - Yemen: The Yemeni Armed Forces have compelled the American enemy to alter its defensive systems for warships, forcing the U.S. to restructure its military power in line with the combat equations and rules of engagement imposed by Yemen.

According to the American website TWZ, "Drone threats in the Red Sea have pushed the U.S. Navy to install new interception systems on its destroyers"—one of several measures taken by Washington after abandoning conventional tactics, whose vulnerabilities were exposed by the Yemeni Armed Forces despite America’s possession of the latest and most advanced military technology.

The site noted that "the U.S. Navy has begun installing low-cost 'Coyote' and 'Road Runner-M' missiles on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to counter drone threats."

It further explained that a 'Coyote Block 2' missile costs around $100,000 compared to $2 million for an SM-2 missile, revealing the scale of losses Washington has suffered after over a year and a half of grueling Yemeni operations. These operations forced the U.S. into retreat, dragging the tails of defeat, and withdrawing four of its aircraft carriers and accompanying warships.

It is worth noting that the U.S. has taken multiple measures to rebuild its military forces following the challenges imposed by Yemen, which have shattered the concept of conventional warfare dominance.

Yemen’s increasing use of ballistic and hypersonic missiles, along with advanced drones, has shifted the balance of power in regional waters, creating serious concern within US and Israeli defense establishments. Analysts now describe the conflict as one of the most significant maritime confrontations since World War II, with implications far beyond the Red Sea.

The reported retreat of US forces following direct threats to its carriers  represent a major strategic and symbolic victory for Yemen and a major embarrassment for Washington, particularly under the leadership of Donald Trump, whose administration had vowed to maintain dominance in the region.
