Late last week, Houthi air defense units managed to target and shoot down a multi-role Saudi Tornado fighter jet over the skies of al-Jawf with an advanced surface-to-air missile, marking a setback for a military alliance known for its air supremacy and signaling new levels of advancement in the Houthis increasingly potent military arsenal. A Houthi source who wished to remain anonymous as he was not authorized to speak on the subject, told MintPress that after the fighter jet went down, Saudi Coalition warplanes launched airstrikes hoping to kill the crew of the jet before they could be captured, he added that captured crew were, in fact, British.
