In an official statement, the British government revealed that, in response to Houthi forces deliberately targeting the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Diamond and US Navy vessels on January 9, coalition forces identified key facilities linked to these attacks. Following this identification, a well-coordinated strike was executed to diminish the capabilities of the Houthi forces.
According to the Houthis' military spokesman., there were 72 strikes in all.
The UK said it sent four RAF Typhoons from Cyprus, carrying Paveway IV-guided bombs
The Houthi movement colloquially simply Houthis is an Islamist political and armed organization that emerged from the Yemeni governorate of Saada in the 1990s.
These militias, who have been engaged in nearly a decade-long conflict against the Saudi-backed government in Yemen, have received various weapons, including anti-ship cruise missiles and land attack weapons, from Iran.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why Houthis can do nothing against RAF Typhoons armed with Paveway IV-guided bombs?

The strike, carried out between November 9 and 10, 2024, involved the Marine Corps’ VMFA-314 squadron—also known as the “Black Knights”—stationed aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln supercarrier in the US Navy’s 5th Fleet Area of Responsibility (AOR).
The primary objective was to degrade Houthi capabilities, especially following a series of attacks on international commercial and military shipping by the Iran-backed militia. The Pentagon highlighted that these strikes aimed to prevent further unlawful targeting of vessels operating in these critical maritime zones.

,1,The US has reached a crucial milestone.
According to the Missile Defense Agency., the Defense Department’s advanced missile tracking satellites logged their first views of a hypersonic flight test.
Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) satellites were able to track a hypersonic system.
MDA didn’t disclose the date of the flight, which took off from Wallops Island in Virginia.
The agency said in a June 14 statement, “Initial reports show the sensors successfully collected data after launch. MDA will continue to assess flight data over the next several weeks.”
Viewers may note, that the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and Space Development Agency (SDA) are actively working on components of a hypersonic missile defense system to protect against hypersonic weapons and other emerging missile threats. This includes developing the tracking and transport layers of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) and various interceptor programs.

,1,The U.S. Army's new Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) short-range ballistic missile has successfully been used against a moving target at sea for the first time as part of Valiant Shield 24.
On June 16, two PrSM missiles were launched during SINKEX from the Army's Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (AML) in Palau, Micronesia.
This marked the first time the PrSM and AML were deployed outside the United States, according to the Army. The systems were operated by the Army’s 3rd Multi-Domain Task Force (3MDTF) and the 1-181 Artillery Regiment of the Tennessee National Guard.
Valiant Shield 24, a multinational field training exercise held from June 7-18, took place in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, and the surrounding sea in the Mariana Island Range Complex. According to the U.S. Navy, the exercise focused on integrating interoperability in a multi-domain environment, with joint forces collaborating to detect, locate, track, and engage units at sea.
The target for the SINKEX maneuvers was the decommissioned Austin-class amphibious transport dock ex-USS Cleveland (LPD-7), positioned in the North Pacific Ocean about 75 km (45 miles) from the nearest land.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes what is the implication of PrSM hitting moving ship in Valiant Shield 24 ?

,1,Recently, a potent Russian naval flotilla docked pretty close to the United States.
The Yasen-M class nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine Kazan along with Project 22350 frigate Admiral Gorshkov sailed to the Cuban capital Havana supported by heavy ocean-going tug Nikolai Chiker and the Project 23130 replenishment oiler Academic Pashin.
This was a major show of force but may have cost Russia.
After the Kazan showed up in Cuba, and the euphoria of “how close we are to the USA”, Russian experts began to realize that joy was turning to sadness. The Russian site Top War calls this a major mistake, saying, “Americans are already laughing at us.”
Top War mentions, “Some media praised this move near the United States, but it’s actually a bad move that will hurt our defense.”
“If it’s not impressive, Americans will laugh at us. This move wasn’t well thought out because it sent the submarine right into the American anti-submarine zone, losing its stealth advantage.”
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why Russia made a mistake by sending Kazan to Cuba?

,1,The war in Ukraine has shown several new and innovative combat tactics.
Ukraine has been employing serval kinds of asymmetric war strategies to resist much larger Russian forces.
This has worked really well, especially in the Naval domain, and inflicted several losses on the Russian Navy.
For example, the destruction of the Russian landing ship Saratov in the port of occupied Berdyansk was carried out using MANPADs and Tochka-Us that were not designed for naval combat.
New reports indicate that Ukrainian asymmetric warfare is inflicting more damage on Russia's fleet than previously known.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) successfully targeted and hit at least four Russian ships near the Crimean Peninsula using underwater mines deployed by Sea Baby drones.
