Saudi Arabia's $83 Billion Military Cannot Contain The Houthis
Original: Saudi Arabia’s $83 Billion Military Cannot Contain The Houthis
Saudi Arabia, despite boasting one of the world's largest defense budgets at roughly $83 billion a year, has been unable to suppress attacks by Yemen's Houthi forces. The mismatch between the kingdom's expensive, Western-equipped military and its struggled campaign against the Iran-backed group is drawing renewed attention to the limits of air power and high-tech weapons against irregular forces.
Why now: Ongoing Houthi attacks and the apparent failure of Saudi military spending to deliver security are keeping the issue in the news.
