Yemen unveils new domestically-developed military hardware

Yemen has unveiled new achievements in the defense sector, including ballistic missiles, drones and artillery as well as anti-tank and light and heavy weapons, vowing stepped-up raids against Saudi Arabia if the aggressor kingdom continues its devastating war on its neighbor.

The equipment, manufactured by Yemeni military experts, were put on display at an exhibition in the Yemeni capital city of Sana’a on Thursday, the al-Masirah TV channel reported.

The exhibition kicked off in a ceremony attended by several military and political officials, among them Mahdi al-Mashat, the President of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council. 

Mashat congratulated the Yemeni armed forces and people on their new military achievements, which he hailed as a victory for the nation in the strategic sector.

He also noted that the military equipment will be used to confront the enemy.

Mashat further stressed that all the weapons at the exhibition were unveiled for the first time and that they were all produced by Yemeni experts.

In a separate development, Colonel Aziz Rashed, a Spokesman for the Yemeni army, said the country’s forces will certainly continue their retaliatory strikes deep into Saudi Arabia until the regime ends the aggression and lifts the blockade on Yemen.

He also warned that Western and American air defenses will not be able to repel the attacks, and that the Yemeni forces will have surprises for the enemy.
