Here is a list

 of what all the Houthis have shot down during their 8 year civil war:

US ‘Unleashes’ EA-18G Growler EW Aircraft 

On Houthis Who Are Armed To Teeth 

With Lethal Weapons – Reports

"Possessing an array of older, legacy air defense (AD) missiles, cheap yet effective Iranian drones that are usually shipped in disassembled forms, and some relatively advanced series of missiles and UAVs, the Houthis survived 

the combined military might 

of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) 

and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) 

in the eight-year-long civil war."

(Thats a non-state actor BTW.

Sound fun yet?)

"The group shot down 

Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF), 

Yemeni, 

Emirati, 

Sudanese, 

Bahraini, 

Jordanian 

and Moroccan 

F-15s, 

AH-64 Apaches,

 Su-22s,

 MiG-29s,

 F-16s

 and several 

American MQ-9 Reaper drones."

And?

What is Tower 22, 

the military base 

that was attacked in Jordan 

where 3 US troops were killed?

"JERUSALEM (AP) — A little-discussed United States military desert outpost in the far reaches of northeastern Jordan has become the focus of international attention after a drone attack killed three American troops and injured at least 34 others there."

(That was the whole point of the attack.

To make the citizens of Jordon realize 

what their government supports.)

"U.S. troops long have used Jordan, a kingdom bordering Iraq, Israel, the Palestinian territory of the West Bank, Saudi Arabia and Syria, as a basing point. Some 3,000 American troops typically are stationed across Jordan.

However, the U.S. presence in Jordan risks angering a population that’s already held mass demonstrations against Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip over civilian casualties in a conflict that’s already killed over 26,000 Palestinians. Estimates suggest some 3 million of Jordan’s 11.5 million people are Palestinian.

Widespread unrest could threaten the rule of King Abdullah II, a key American ally. Jordan initially denied the Tower 22 base existed within its border after the attack Sunday."

(When you adversary?

Doesn't care to try and sew the seeds of domestic unrest?

Which is 100% what this attack was about.

Even when they know you are going to retaliate and strike back against them hard?

Do you really think they are scared or intimidated by you in that scenario?)
