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.

Before...



 ...and after
