SHOCKING INTEL on F-16 Shot at By Houthi Missile

About this video

Max analyzes recent U.S. military strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, describing how Air Force involvement indicates an escalation beyond carrier-based operations. He explains the tactical roles of F-16s in suppressing air defenses, recounts how Iranian-supplied SAM systems threaten aircraft, and shares his assessment that increased rules of engagement signal a strategic message to Iran during nuclear negotiations.

Key takeaways

• Max describes how Air Force F-16 and F-15E involvement in Yemen operations represents a higher level of coordination requiring tanker support and regional airbases
• According to Max, the Iranian-supplied 358 Saqqr surface-to-air missile has been used against U.S. aircraft, but F-16 countermeasures and maneuverability make it ineffective against Western fighters
• Max assesses that F-16 formations likely intentionally drew fire to locate missile batteries, enabling follow-on F-18 strikes as part of a broader signal to Iran
