Yemeni Infantry Destroy Saudi Armor + Vehicle ID




Yemen war report on the battles of Jabiry, Qamar, and Hamdhah (Hammizah) part of advancement into Saudi territory of Jaizan (Jazan). Footage shows take over of Saudi Army positions, Saudi artillery shelling lost territory, caches of seized weapons and ammunition.

We see a number of destroyed vehicles:

  • M1 Abrams tanks, at least 2;
  • M113 APCs, several units;
  • Oshkosh M-ATVs, many; 

The Oshkosh M-ATV is supposed to be a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle. However on this evidence you can't say that it offered much protection in this particular ambush as they appear to be the most damaged and even totally destroyed.

Maybe, the Oshkosh Corporation should have stuck to making its fire trucks.

Assault on Ramadi Imminent | GulfNews.com

Iraq says assault to retake Daesh-held Ramadi looming | GulfNews.com

Baghdad: Iraqi forces have made significant advances around Ramadi
and an operation to retake the city captured by Daesh in May is looming,
officers said Wednesday.
“Great people, the hour of victory
against the Daesh criminal gangs has come,” said a statement from the
Joint Operations Command for Anbar province, of which Ramadi is the
capital.
“Your heroic forces are advancing steadily from the
northern side... they managed to reach Albu Farraj area,” on the
northern edge of the city centre, it said.
The head of the Anbar
command, Major General Esmail Mahalawi, told AFP that “Iraqi forces have
raised the Iraqi flag on Albu Farraj bridge”, over the Euphrates.
Since the start of October, Iraqi forces have been closing in on Ramadi,
gaining ground west and north of the city in particular.
Claims are made that Sunni fighters too will support the assault against the ISIS-held town.
