USA the wizard to create a provocation leading to war. Many wars of conquest of the Americans began with the alleged attack on their military, civilian, after which the army and Navy one of the most powerful Nations of the world have invaded other people’s territory.
Thursday, October 13, Reuters reported “another” attack by the Huthis on the USS Mason. Supposedly two anti-ship missiles keep missing the target, and the American ship was forced to strike back, destroying a radar station on the territory of Yemen.
After that, the Pentagon has published a rather interesting message:
“All those who threaten our troops, we must remember that the command reserves the right to the protection of US Navy ships. We are ready to respond to all threats in the near future and properly”.
Here many interesting things, but more on that later. Restore the chronology of events.
As it was
October 1, 2016, was attacked by an American military transport high-speed HSV-2, leased from the UAE for the rapid transport of troops between the ports of Yemen. The ship has a cruising speed of over 40 knots, was convenient and sometimes indispensable tool to quickly transport troops from one front to another.
As we can see, the ship after the attack burned out completely and probably will not be the ocean surf.
And already on October 10, 2016, the USA said that the destroyer “Mason” was attacked by two missiles, which, before reaching the ship, fell into the water. Two days later, the attack allegedly was repeated, but with the same negative result.
Armed Houthis in Yemen consists of coastal anti-ship complex with RCC Nur in Iran. The missile has a firing range of 120 km and a payload of about 150 kg. Ship HSV-2 and destroyer Mason was “attacked” in the area of port of Mokha. To the shores of Eritrea with only 50 km away As the rocket could not fly? And two, and two days later two more. If they were taken in the direction of electronic warfare, the US would say that the attack failed or has been reflected.
And the question here is not to brag. Just on the ship, hundreds of sailors that can easily spill the beans.
But if you shoot the side of a passing destroyer any ZRK middle radius and even at night, the missile, of course, will fall into the water, and the world will be to tell about the treachery of the Houthis. And the crew of the ship might see. By the way, the port of Mokha is situated close to the front line, and therefore to produce such a blow to supporters of Hadi was easy.
If the Americans do bother about these performances did not invent everything from beginning to end.
Also not to say that an American ship was attacked by mistake. Through the Strait every day there are dozens of courts, and yet there was not a single case of mistaken strike. And even more repeated on the same ship. The ship with a displacement of 10 thousand tons at a distance of 20-30 km to confuse with light warships Saudi Arabia or the UAE is simply impossible.
Why should the US?
Even with their differences with Saudi Arabia Americans continue to support the Saudis. Iran and Russia are the enemies of the United States. It is unlikely that Washington will allow Russia to gain a foothold in the region. Coastal missile system, successfully attacking a warship of the Americans in the district of Bab-El-Mandeb Strait, a threat that needs to be removed.
So we came up with described a provocation. Probably an American destroyer just few days patrolled the area and waited for the radar on the banks of earn, and when it happened, struck. Below is information to cover up this act of aggression against a foreign country and came up with the failed attack, about which nobody knows anything except themselves.
According to the Pentagon, they will continue to patrol the region and strike on the radar, which the US deems dangerous for themselves. In General, we can consider the current actions of the United States their reaction to a successful attack by the Houthis in their military ship, rented the UAE. Will this have further consequences? Definitely. The Houthis will have to stop the attack of ships or their complexes (primarily radar) will be killed very quickly.
Will the Americans be applied to other strokes? It is too little information for analysis. But the first and most important step to this they have already made. The reason is is the first shot. Further, it is easier. A year later, about the reason no one will forget.
