Houthis adopt Russian saturation tactics, overwhelm Saudi air defenses

Houthi rebels are using Russian-style saturation tactics—combining swarms of drones and modern missiles—to overwhelm Saudi air defenses, which cannot intercept all incoming threats despite heavy spending. Riyadh is calling for an international coalition, but Washington is hesitant to commit to another direct military involvement. This marks an escalation in the conflict and a shift in Houthi tactics, potentially increasing regional instability.
