Yemen’s Houthi-Saleh forces have showcased their “domestically developed” anti-ship missiles “al-Mandab 1” and threatened to target with them warships of the Saui Navy soon.
The missiles will reportedly be used against warships involved in the Saudi-led naval blockade of Yemen.
According to experts, the al-Mandab 1 is likely based on a C-801 subsonic Chinese anti-ship missile. C-801 missiles appeared in Yemen with Chinese Type 021-class missile boats purchased by Yemen in 1995.
