The Houthi Air Force, while limited compared to traditional air forces, has modern capabilities for long-range strikes. It relies primarily on drone and missile units. These units are a critical part of the Houthis’ military strategy, with their drones increasingly used for surveillance, reconnaissance, and attacks. The Air Force is responsible for launching missile attacks on strategic targets in Yemen and neighboring countries, including Saudi Arabia and Israel. This force is heavily supported by Iranian technology and expertise, with training provided by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah.
