On May 22, the Houthis (as Ansar Allah is known) announced that their air-defense forces had shot down a combat drone of the Saudi-led coalition, the second in less than a week.
In a statement, a spokesman for the Yemeni group said that the drone, a Chinese-made CH-4, was shot down over al-Maraziq in the northern Yemeni province of al-Jawf. According to the spokesman, the drone was targeted with a “new ground-to-air missile” that has not been unveiled yet.
“We reiterate that the airspace of our country [Yemen] is not a cakewalk,” the spokesman, Brig. Gen. Yahya Sari, said in the statement.
Three days earlier, the Houthis shot down a Wing Loong II combat drone of the Saudi-led coalition over the Yemeni border with the Kingdom’s southern province of Najran. Back then, the group also said that the drone was targeted with a “new ground-to-air missile”.
The CH-4, developed by China’s CASC, has a range of up to 5000 km and an endurance of 40 hours. The drone is equipped with an advanced targeting system and can be armed with a variety of guided missiles and bombs.

The greedy chinks are selling weapons to Saudi Wahhabi terrorists lol
Don’t you have a street to shit on?
nah, he is busy with his cow dung therapy
Ugly cow shit eaters suffering and dying from diseases that are eradicated in Europe 250 ago. Or more. Ugly witch motherfukk Theresa just used that situation in Calcuta to spread disease known as Opus dei Jesuits satanists.
I don’t like your trolling but that is true, Saudis are Wahhabi terrorists and China sell them tons of weapons.
inferior greedy racist upset—must buy weapons from Russia
These Saudi drones are being downed regularly – Saudi military is fifth largest military spender in the world, and yet it can barely manage a stalemate in its aggressive war against Yemeni state. Saudi state is just a clan-run oligarchy-state – very few average Saudi citizens will join the Saudi infantry, to go fight in Yemen for the al-Saud clan, and their attempted resource grab in north Yemen – of untapped Yemeni oil reserves.
