Houthi force grows to 350k despite strikes; AI-assisted missile work suspected

The Houthis have expanded from 30,000 to 350,000 fighters despite sustained coalition strikes, indicating resilience and recruitment capacity. Reports suggest use of cheap drones and possible AI-assisted missile development, which could complicate future deterrence. The scale of growth, if accurate, signals a strategic failure of attrition campaigns and a shift in regional threat calculus.
