[THREAD] On the second load of imagery from the #Houthis about their attack against Saudi/Saudi-backed forces.

Lots more interesting things, pretty much in the same vein as previously. (Note the Iranian RPG launcher below)

1/
Lots more capture, including vehicles. I will focus on weapons though.

- Belarusian "Utes" NSV HMG
- Bulgarian PG-7VT Tandem Charge RPG warheads
- AKs of various stripes- Zastava M02E1 etc.
- Multiple Likely Saudi F2000 + GL, vehicle-mount FN MAG

2/
More captures:

- Tripod-mounted Browning M2 (Multiple of these across different positions)
- H&K MG4, this one isn't seen too often.

These captures did seem like they were from Saudi forces.
3/
Are you getting the theme here?

Yugo-pattern M75 Hand Grenades, still in packaging, another F2000 with GL1 UGL, FN SCAR-L with serial L014761 and a Elcan SpecterOS 4x optic.

4/
Houthis showed off some more ATGM use, including 9M113-pattern ATGM (Could be Iranian "Tosan", although they doesn't look to be in at least one shot), as well as the Iranian Dehlaviyeh ATGM (9M133 Kornet derivative)

5/
More interesting weapons use, such as what seems to be the Iranian Fadjr-1 single-barrel 107mm launcher (Could be chinese Type 85), as well as captured Zastava M02 as a personal weapon. PG-7VL with Type 69 RPG, and an apparent thermobaric RShG-2!

6/
And ammo capture. Lots of it. Includes small arms ammo, Mecar M543 HEAT rounds for the Carl Gustav (At least the packaging), etc. I haven't shown it all whatsever.

7/
In terms of munitions, these captures are much more interesting than the Houthi's previous media. Some of these arms (In particular F2000, FN SCAR) are rare and expensive, and seem absolutely seized from Saudis, likely National Guard.
