CV32 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yeah, the Houthis have claimed destruction of numerous Saudi Navy vessels several times over in the past. Though they are obviously quite capable of doing it, I would not necessarily accept their claims at face value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
