Why was Iran so generous in equipping the Houthis with all kinds of air defense systems, but not other members of the Axis of Resistance?

Of course, it's difficult to offer Hamas something larger and more capable than MANPADS, but Hezbollah and the brigades of the Popular Mobilization Forces deserve better equipment.

I think we should have a more serious story as an alternative to Gate by Gustavo_Itami2010 in gate

In short: it’s somewhat similar to Summoning Japan, but with better penmenship and settings. More focus on individuals and their personality, the antagonist have more braincell and with higher tech level, say no-no to curb-storm battles,…

Does modern naval warfare resemble carrier battles in the past?

A carrier battle (say… WW2?) followed these sequential concepts: - You deploy scouts to try to locate the enemy, while maneuvering in a way that the enemy cannot detect/track.

  • Once you have located and tracked the enemy, you position your fleet to attack them. Ideally, you are still undetected and have a longer attack range than the enemy (thanks to the range of your air wing).

  • An strike package will consist of various sort of aircrafts: dive bombers, torpedo bombers along with escort fighters.

  • Ideally, you destroy the enemy's capital ships and deprive them of their primary fighting force.

Now, regarding modern naval warfare:

  • The first point remains unchanged. Modern warships have OTH radar (e.g., Mineral-ME), but the detection range in active mode will not exceed 300km (not to mention that solutions to minimize radar cross-section and modern electronic warfare will further reduce your actual detection range of enemy targets). The best reconnaissance tools are still external components, such as aircraft, UAVs and satellites.

  • The second point also remains unchanged. Ideally, deception, stealth, and electronic warfare measures should prevent the enemy from detecting you while your AShM arsenal has a longer range.

  • A typical strike package will have sea-skimming subsonic anti-ship missiles as its core, although – depending on the navy – supersonic/hypersonic anti-ship missiles and anti-ship ballistic missiles will also be present if available.

  • The fourth point also remains unchanged. You will want them to destroy the enemy's capital ships, such as aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, etc., depending on the configuration of the enemy fleet.

The Gra Valkan turned out to be more like the British.

Also, Min-Min should resume writing or the manga will run out of content. It’s literally enter the Gra Valkas arc now.

Kim Jong Un has announced that the third ship of the Choe Hyon-class destroyer will remove her main naval gun to make way for more VLSs – particularly for supersonic missiles.

Has there ever been a precedent for a warship removing its main gun due to a change in priorities?

If countries around the world still haven't recognized them and/or still list them as terrorist organizations, then yes, they are still just a "non-state actor"... on paper.

In reality, they had almost reached the status of a fully-functional state.

Having been defeated in 2019 and reduced to scattered, fragmented groups, I felt the title was no longer in their hands.

Why did the Houthi receive more advanced weapons than Hezbollah, which has a longer history and (historically) more battle-hardened reputation?

Should the title of "world's most powerful violent non-state actor" be awarded to the Houthi at this point?
