Not quite. There were rumours that the Houthis struck US/UK aircraft doing bombing runs with Stinger MANPADs that they obviously should be able to have, but could have bought on the black arms market where there's been a sudden increase that coincides with Ukraine getting a bunch.

I too really hope it's true, but I havent seen any confirmation yet...

Edit: Oh I hadn't heard the Hamas firearms one. That's another one.

I posted it, a Russian military blog reporting on resistance Telegram rumours. I decided to get wasted last night so I was like fuck it get hype, it's plausible. I totally believe they have manpads and shot down aircraft, idk about shooting down an f-22 with manpad. Somebody reminded me how mountainous Yemen is makes it way easier to do shit like that

I don't really give a shit about military hardware like a lot of people who follow conflicts. Stuff like that could easily slip by me again.
