"Hungry" rockets with a silk researcher: the recognized government is warning of a new hobby weapon.
A weapon that the Yemeni Government states that the Houthi have developed from Iranian air defence weapons of origin raises new concerns over the safety of civil aviation in the south of the Red Sea, because of its declared ability to stay in the air for about 25 minutes and to use a heat tracking system to search for heat sources. The Government states that the Houthis are firing these weapons from their control areas in the Iron Governorate towards areas close to international air routes, opening a new threat front not only for ships and seafarers in the Red Sea, but also for civilian air traffic.
