Yemen's Ansarallah has gone Hypersonic

What the future holds now that Operations are to expand beyond The Red Sea

Yemen’s Ansarallah has successfully tested a hypersonic rocket in Yemen, Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reports, citing a military source.

According to the report, they are planning to begin manufacturing the missiles for use against targets in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden, as well as ‘Israel.’

Some three months or so ago, I did my Global Conflict series, which looked at Armed Conflicts worldwide and gave a general assessment of where things stood at the end of 2023 and going into the New Year of 2024.

Yemen’s Ansarallah was covered in [Part II] of said series:

Specifically, Yemen’s Ansarallah & their sundry capabilities were touched on here:

---

“Today, Ansarallah thus possesses one of the most battle-hardened bands of militiamen in the entire region.

Most experts view the movement’s capabilities (i.e. about Missiles, Artillery & Drones) as Top-notch, surpassing those of nearby Hezbollah.

In recent weeks, with the first successful usage *ever* (in live combat) of ASBMs on “Israeli” tankers (& ships affiliated with the regime), the movement has demonstrated Decisively said capabilities for all to see.

The “Israelis” thus have a novel Threat Matrix:

Ansarallah has made clear to the world that all shipping affiliated with &/or transiting at Zionist ports will be fair game while passing through the Bab-el-Mandeb Straits & moving through the Red Sea.

They have followed through with said threats already:

Kamikaze UAVs, ASBMs, etc., have regularly hit shipping. Major Shipping giants have already halted transit through said waterways, in effect opting for the longer route (i.e. ‘around Africa’), thus making World Trade more unstable.”

Ladies & Gentlemen… The DOOM has arrived!

It appears that Yemen's Ansarallah has successfully managed to procure (& test) Hypersonics & intends to use them in current hostilities against the Zionists. In concrete terms, this means expanding operations into the Indian Ocean proper.

When hostilities began several months ago, ships bound for the 'Israeli' port of Eilat had to be rerouted several thousands of miles away from the Bab-el-Mandeb straits and the Suez toward the Indian Ocean, across the Cape of Good Hope and Africa…

…into the Straits of Gibraltar, the Mediterranean Sea & finally, the alternate destination of Haifa, the other key port city of the Zionist entity. Needless to say, Global Shipping went into a mad frenzy given said New, 'on the ground,' practical realities:

The port of Eilat was rendered Moribund overnight, & much of the Global Economy has already been irreparably damaged (far more so than during the pandemic years) by the Red Sea's de facto blockade. ‘Israel’ & its economy have also been irreparably damaged.

Dear Readers, remember that this has all transpired while 'Israel' still can receive inbound cargo into Haifa, courtesy of the traffic rerouting mentioned earlier. However, mere hours ago, such a calculus was also entirely upended by Ansarallah:

Shipping in the Indian Ocean has now likewise been attacked.

This is a massive escalation in the current regional war, which began with the Palestinian JOR (i.e., 'Joint Operations Room') & their successful military raid into the 'Israeli' interior on October 7, 2023: 

Yemen's Ansarallah, in attacking vessels in the Indian Ocean, has now signalled to the Zionist leadership & 'Elite' that rerouting to the northern port of Haifa is Moot. Eventually, like Eilat, it too will be rendered barren & unused:

The Gravity of the current moment should not be underestimated. It is often said that 'the cornered animal is the most dangerous'... so it is with the Zionist regime & its sundry handlers. The 'Israeli' economy has already contracted ~20% or so in the past quarter:

The war has seen the Zionists conscript tens of thousands of its productive citizenry to swell its ranks for the ground offensive. The labour force has rapidly contracted, with productive economic activity lacking the requisite manpower.

'Israel' is therefore cornered. Even before Ansarallah's escalation, Zionist leadership & 'Elite' knew that the economy & overall society would not cohere should things continue as is. A Decisive Outcome is therefore needed to restore Deterrence:

Post October 7, the Mythos of 'Israeli' military might was shattered. This has meant the Axis of Resistance nipping away at Zionist infrastructure, military installations & related architectures daily, 'slow-boiling' the broader society.

Buckling from within, the 'Israeli' public is already thoroughly angered by the current status quo, with many outright seeking the ouster of Netanyahu & his government. In a wartime setting, given no clear victory, this means rapid social implosion. 

Thus, such pandemonium will not soon cease without a decisive outcome. For the Zionists, the only move left is massacring wantonly civilians. This is why Zionist military leadership is considering an Operation into Rafah.

Several hours ago, a green light was provided for such an operation. I expanded on what would happen should such an Operation occur in my analysis here:

---

Yemen's Ansarallah expanding operations, in tandem with the Zionists now preparing to enter Rafah… means that the War in West Asia will officially enter the next phase of going Kinetic on the broader region, thereby drawing in other actors formally.

At that point, technology transfers will become far more commonplace. Ansarallah, who has now successfully tested their Hypersonic Missile, would be given even more such munitions to utilize on 'Israel' & its ally, the United States of America.

(In case, Dear Reader, you are unfamiliar with the sort of damage these weapons are capable of, here is a quick reader on some of the models commonly used by Iran & frens… Here is Exhibit A, & here is Exhibit B).

Make no mistake: America stopped being an 'honest broker' for the region's people long ago. Its sundry deceptions are well known, & the people of West Asia are now all too familiar with the outsized influence of the Zionist lobby on American politics.

The very idea that America is anything other than a Co-belligerent with the Zionists as they engage in their Vile crimes is simply repugnant.

Analysts have already gone at length on why the collective 'Biden' is de facto pursuing a 'State-Minus' solution regarding Palestine.

The danger, then, is evident for anyone willing to see with eyes wide open:

The Americans, who have sundry Naval assets parked in & around the region, may soon find out that they are forcibly kicked out courtesy of the calibre & might of the weaponry brought to bear on their already aged, buckling & obsolescent fleet.

Aircraft Carriers, the poster child for American Imperial Might, are sitting ducks for Hypersonic salvos fired off the Yemeni interior. In fact, one does not even need to sink such aged, ancient (& increasingly obsolescent) vessels anyhow:

Should there even be a hit on one of these vessels that 'blows off' a large enough hole, there are simply too many Maintenance Woes & overall rot in the Wider US Navy that prevent a sound rescue & repair, as this article from last year notes.

The Americans, at that point, can choose. Escalate to war for a wounded carrier against Iran & frens... or simply back down & retreat, cutting its losses. If the former, it is World War III & if the latter, it means America's Fall as a Superpower.

Given such a Disaster out at Sea, it remains to be seen which way American 'Elites' & leadership will move. We will then wait to see how events play out…

The DOOM cometh!
