Bombing in Yemen overnight

Al Mayadeen is a Hezbollah backed TV and News corporation. And you accuse me of citing sources from only reading the BBC. And then proceed to copy and paste. Debate please.

The Houthis are firing drones and missiles at shipping. We can agree that?

Then where are they getting them from?

Come on this isn't a massive stretch of intellect. You can't just knock up drones and missiles in a local workshop that repairs AK-47s. The guidance systems alone have to be sourced, rocket motors, casings, triggers and detonators, etc. they have to access either commercial GPS systems or secure military GPS systems for guidance and then (in the case of anti shipping missiles) home in on a moving target some time after launch or be guided onto target using a data link. This isn't something they have knocked up themselves. So, you have to ask yourself who is providing them with this weaponry? Plainly it is not the Saudis who are busy trying to kill them. The only other local powers with that sort of tech are Israel and Iran...
We'd probably sell them drones if they ask. We're none too fussy.
