Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So the productive forces have reached a point where small militaries are able to embargo and drone strike Israel, effectively making empires impossible to sustain.

This article is so fucking funny. "Yes, Ansar Allah said they're responsible for this attack, yes, all the evidence points towards them being responsible for this attack, but are we really sure it was them, really?" It really feels like whoever wrote this piece is really trying to minimize how capable Ansar Allah are, especially since they blame "human error" (by the Israelis) for the lack of warning about the attack when Ansar Allah has said this is a new type of drone that is undetectable by radar.

I guess I'm just more willing to take Ansar Allah at their word than whoever wrote this article, and I find it deeply amusing how much hedging you have to do if you refuse to believe that Ansar Allah is capable of doing the things they say they're doing.

The only thing I'm suspicious of is a prop-driven drone having a low radar profile - my understanding was that props are pretty much giant radar reflectors for all intents and purposes

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago (2 children)

it probably helped a lot that it was flying at an altitude of like... 5 to 10 meters

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that's true

I wonder where it was launched from

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

speculative from an IbnRiad retweet, but makes ~~the most~~ some sense

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

big if true, I was thinking it might have been launched in the med or off the coast of the med

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

yeah after more reflection that drone made a big boom and is small enough that how much fuel or battery could it really carry? maybe it was launched from a speedboat in the med

I imagine detection would be a lot harder if it were launched closer as well, wonder if the yemenis will spill the details eventually

Those drones have reported ranges of 1500-1800km, so 2000 isn't so unbelievable.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't a couple of them (yemenis) allegedly break into Gaza

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

They released a video of them training to enter Gaza, but I never heard of them actually entering (yet)

The drone hit just a block from the U.S. Embassy Branch Office, which is on the oceanfront.

Ansarallah Allah do not fuck around.

[–] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago

Unreasonably based warning shot across the bow of the empire.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago (2 children)

On telegram last night they were talking about how it was a new drone type purpose built to be undetectable to Israel's air defenses

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

they named the drone "Yaffa" (the original name of Tel Aviv)

[–] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Yaffa will be freed by the Yaffa drones!!!

The geopolitical equivalent of a few pebbles rolling down a mountain, presaging an avalanche.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

How the fuck are you getting hit by Yemen before Hezbollah?

Edit: I should add: before getting into a war with Hezbollah

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago

You know, when everyone is paying attention to what Hezbollah might do, no one notices Ansarallah sneaking up on them!

As a rule of thumb, whenever I see Yemen in the news, I always think that I'm a citizen in One Piece hearing about what the Straw Hats are up to while resisting villains.
