Pour causer des dommages pareils a un si grand navire il faut au moins 200 a 300 kg en terme de warhead non?
A moins qu'il (s'il s'agit dun seul missile) ait atteint un point sensible, e.g. fuel storage ou des munitions.

Le HSV-2 Swift est un catamaran commercial, avec une proue perce-vagues et une coque en aluminium, les 165 kg de charge utile semi-perforante HE + une charge creuse du Noour iranien https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noor_(missile) sont amplement suffisants.

[numidia]

quelle horreur ... ce conflit est bien la preuve que il n'existe pas de droits internationales pour les pays dans le viseur
qui va renvoyer les Saoudiens et la coalition anti-yéménite à leurs crimes ?
qui pourrait les stopper ?
leurs alliés du conseil de sécurité de l'ONU ???
ceux qui leur offrent amitié diplomatique et politique, protection, armes, soutien, légion d'honneur etc...

autre chose: le pseudo-journal Le Monde protecteur et canal des thèses occidentales (donc plutôt copain avec les Saouds) ne fait que surfer sur la vague actuelle de mise au pas des Saouds, pression entretenue

Une vraie bande de salauds, criminels, wakilhom rabbi, mais tôt ou tard, ils auront un foutu retour du bâton, il reste que peu de temps... patience ..

[Blackcode]

c'est la mobilisation générale au Yémen, donc guerre totale. Les yéménites vont faire de profondes pénétrations en territoire wahabite certainement.

[Chifboubara]

Exact, ils ont intérêt à faire sortir cette guerre de l'anonymat.
L'attaque sur le bateau est remarquable de ce point de vue.
Les moyenâgeux les aident dans cette quête de visibilité avec ses massacres aériens à grande échelle.
Je me trompe sans doute mais la guerre au Yémen est plus dangereuse stratégiquement parlant que la Syrie pour l'arabie yehoudite.
Avec peu de moyens, les houtis peuvent mener la vie dure aux bédouins arriérés.
Les incursions et attaquent spectaculaires vont augmenter, avec l'expérience accumulée et après avoir tâté le terrain.
Politiquement les houtis ont gagné aux yeux du monde : ils sont le peuple parmi les plus pauvres agressé par des lâches pleins aux as.
Les images de leur lâcheté tournent en boucle.
Les houtis ont de plus le temps pour eux.
Et puis Sanaa est une autre paire de manche. On verra le comportement des ventrus en combat urbain si l'idée leur traverse l'esprit.

Yémen: tensions maritimes autour de Bab el-Mandeb

par RFI

Au Yémen, le commandement central des forces navales américaines a annoncé ce lundi 10 octobre que deux missiles ont été tirés, « certainement par les rebelles houthis », et « sont tombés en mer Rouge non loin d'un destroyer américain ». Cet incident naval fait suite à la destruction d'un patrouilleur des Emirats Arabes Unis dans une région stratégique où transitent une partie importante des approvisionnements en pétrole de l'Europe.

Cet incident naval pourrait rappeler de mauvais souvenirs aux Etats-Unis. En 2000, une attaque suicide revendiquée par al-Qaïda contre le destroyer USS Cole avait coûté la vie à 17 marins américains. Le bateau avait été attaqué alors qu'il était au mouillage dans le port d'Aden.

Dimanche soir, l'USS Mason naviguait en mer Rouge dans les eaux internationales, précise le commandement de la marine américaine, lorsque deux missiles ont été tirés à une heure d'intervalle, sans atteindre le navire de guerre.

La marine américaine accuse les rebelles houthis

Montrés du doigt, les rebelles houthis, soutenus par l'Iran qui dispose d'engins antinavires dérivés des C802 chinois, installés sur des camions en batterie côtière.

Les missiles ont été tirés « depuis les zones qu'ils contrôlent au Yémen », assure la marine américaine. Les rebelles ont intensifié les attaques aux missiles en réponse aux raids aériens de la coalition arabe soutenue par l'Occident qui touchent parfois des cibles civiles.

« Aucun navire de guerre » visé

Les rebelles houthis assurent qu'ils n'ont visé « aucun navire de guerre ». Mais il y a quelques jours, un énorme catamaran militaire émirien a été touché de plein fouet, probablement par un missile, alors qu'il naviguait près du détroit stratégique de Bab el-Mandeb.

On estime que 20 000 navires transitent chaque année dans la région, soit 12 % du trafic maritime mondiale et 30% de l’approvisionnement en pétrole de la planète en 2015. Lorsque l’Arabie saoudite a lancé ses opérations sur le Yémen, le prix du baril de pétrole avait subitement fait un bon de 5% alors que la liberté de navigation dans le détroit n'avait pas été entravée.

Navy launches Tomahawk missiles at rebel sites in Yemen after attacks on U.S. ships

U.S. Navy launches strike against Houthi rebel sites in Yemen Play Video1:17

The U.S. Navy launched Tomahawk missiles early Thursday from the Red Sea at three coastal radar sites in Yemen, destroying targets associated with missile attacks on U.S. ships this week.

The Tomahawks were launched from the destroyer USS Nitze at about 4 a.m. at three locations in territory held by Houthi rebels north of the Bab el-Mandeb strait, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said. President Obama authorized the strikes upon the recommendations of Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Marine Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“These limited self-defense strikes were conducted to protect our personnel, our ships, and our freedom of navigation in this important maritime passageway,” Cook said. “The United States will respond to any further threat to our ships and commercial traffic, as appropriate, and will continue to maintain our freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandeb, and elsewhere around the world.”

The strikes were announced late Wednesday in Washington. A defense official said the radar sites were in remote areas where there was little risk of civilian casualties, but declined to say how many Tomahawks were used. The equipment was set up near Ras Isa, north of Mocha and near Khoka. All are on or near Yemen’s western coastline.

The Tomahawk strikes followed cruise-missile attacks that were launched against Navy ships on Sunday night and Wednesday from Yemen. Another missile launched Oct. 1 caused near-catastrophic damage to the HSV-2 Swift, a catamaran-style high-speed vessel that was operated by the Emiratis and once was a part of the U.S. Navy. Video of the strike published online shows the ship engulfed in a fireball.

The Houthis, who use some weapons smuggled from Iran, claimed responsibility for the attack on the Swift but denied launching missiles at the Navy on Sunday. But Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said Tuesday that “the facts certainly point” to the Houthis being involved.

In the first attack launched at the U.S. Navy, two cruise missiles were launched Sunday at the USS Mason, a guided-missile destroyer, and the USS Ponce, an amphibious staging base. In that case, the first missile was launched while the ships were at least 12 miles away from Yemen’s shore in international waters near the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a waterway between Yemen and Djibouti that is heavily trafficked by oilers. The ships were even farther away when the second one was launched.

In the second attack Wednesday, at least one missile was fired from rebel-held territory at the Mason, Cook said. That missile was launched at about 6 p.m. from south of the coastal city Al Hudaydah. The Houthis pushed the central government out of power in the capital city of Sanaa in 2014, and has resisted U.S.-backed efforts by Saudi Arabia to restore President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to power.

Adm. John Richardson, the chief of naval operations, said in a statement Wednesday that the Navy will remain on watch in the Red Sea. He credited the crew of the Mason for demonstrating “initiative and toughness” as they defended themselves from both attacks.


“These unjustified attacks are serious, but they will not deter us from our mission,” Richardson said. “We are trained and ready to defend ourselves and to respond quickly and decisively.”

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a foreign-policy think tank, said in an analysis published Wednesday that the Mason, the Nitze and the Ponce were ordered to patrol the area north of the strait after the attack on the Swift. The analysis, published by two Navy officers and a think-tank analyst, said that the attack Wednesday removes all doubt that the missiles fired Sunday were intentionally aimed at U.S. ships.

The missiles were launched at the U.S. ships after airstrikes on the funeral of a Houthi rebel leader in Sanaa killed more than 140 people and wounded hundreds more Saturday. U.S. defense officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss ongoing operations, said Tuesday that it is all but certain that the Saudis carried out the strike.

The Saudis have waged an air war against the Houthis since March 2015, carrying out hundreds of airstrikes. The United States has backed the effort but slowly backed away from it in recent months as concerns rise about the number of civilians killed. The death toll is close to 4,000.


A White House spokesman, Ned Price, said Saturday that the Obama administration was “deeply disturbed” by reports of the strikes on the funeral and was launching an immediate review of U.S. support for the Saudi-led campaign against the Houthis.

The Pentagon has provided logistical support, including aerial refueling, and intelligence that can be used for targeting to the Saudis. In recent months, however, they have dramatically scaled back that effort almost exclusively to refueling, citing concerns over how the Saudis have waged their war in Yemen.

This post was originally published at 2:23 p.m. in Washington and received significant updates at 11:15 p.m. after the announcement of the Tomahawk strikes.
