Saudi-led Coalition Confirmed That Its Tornado Warplane Was Downed In Yemen

The Saudi-led coalition has acknowledged that a Tornado IDS combat aircraft of the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) was lost over Yemen.

In an statement released on February 15, a spokesman for the coalition said that the combat aircraft went down while conducting operations over the northern Yemeni province of al-Jawf.

“At 23:45, on the evening of Friday, February 14, 2020 AD, a Tornado combat aircraft of the RSAF crashed while on a mission of close air support to units of the Yemeni National Army,” the spokesman, Col. Turki al-Malki, said in the statement.

Col. al-Malki didn’t specify how the aircraft was lost. A day earlier, the Houthis claimed that their Air Defense Force shot down the aircraft with an “advanced” missile “equipped with new technology.”

The fate of the Tornado’s crew remains unclear. Saudi sources said that the pilot and the navigator/weapons officer were still missing, while Yemeni sources claimed that they were captured by the Houthis.

Warplanes of the Saudi-led coalition targeted the Tornado’s crash site with several airstrikes, killing 30 people. The pro-Houthis al-Masirah TV said that women and children were among the casualties.

In January of 2018, the Saudi-led coalition lost a Tornado IDS over Yemen. Back then, the Houthis said that the aircraft was shot down. However, the coalition claimed that the aircraft crashed as a result of a “technical failure.”

Zionism = EVIL

Ansarallah have a very high degree of veracity and credibility, this British faggots hunk was downed by a quad Misagh2 at about 10,000 feet and both the pilot and the backseater arsehole were captured, so it is hard to tell lies when two live morons are on parade. They will sing like canaries and will provide a lot of operational intel to Iran and the Axis of Resistance.

mohammed bin salman paid 450m bucks for a fake leonardo da vinci and had he not done so he could have gotten the saudi airforce say 20 more tornados, what a foolish thing to do or folly squared.

Zionism = EVIL

The British arseholes sold absolute junk to the Saudi morons at more than three times the NATO price and then that bitch Margaret Thatcher and her son and subsequent corrupt British governments sold them spares and “technical services” for another $5 billion. Not a single one flew and most were stripped and junked by the Bedouins who tried to play the radio communications at home and were disappointed as they could not get any AM or FM reception. The illiterate Bedouins did not understand that modern jet fighters have VHF/UHF radios with an integrated UHF secure voice and encrypted data communications suite compatible with global air traffic management requirements and IFF frequencies and it is not a commercial radio to listen to Arabic songs. This is a true story. Then the Bedouins tried to put the tires on Toyoto pickups, but that did not work either.

ROYAL SAUDI ARABIAN AIRFORCE IN ALL ITS GLORY

good american

What you say supports what an old rocket scientist from india who used to work for the Pentagon told me. He said the US gave all the good stuff to Israel and sells all the junk to saudi arabia at inflated prices. Another interesting thing he told me was that during the 7 day war egypt using russian air defense systems shot down most of the Israeli jets and NATO repainted their own to Israeli colors and used them to help the Israelis. This guy hated arabs, called them the dumbest people on the planet, even though his stepson was one. He had high respect for russian air defense systems. Said they were great, even at that time.

If you ever had the chance to work in Saudi with Saudi staff, you will not question the above. Without the foreign labor in Saudi, all infrastructure would break down in days, as even basic understanding of technology is missing.

Yep…been there seen that. Was there in the early 80s, Peace Sun II when we sold them f-15s. The Saudi officers (royal family) were sent to US for flight training, but took proxies who received the training, but the officer got the certification. In Saudi (Taif) dad saw Saudi officers try to fly and were constantly running into other planes on the ground or even support vehicles. Most certified officers had no clue how to fly, but would get in the planes anyway. Total CF. Saudis never admit they know nothing, especially to infidels. As for civil service jobs…all foreigners. Training instructors were told they could not teach, but could advise. There were a couple Saudis who were friendly (very few of those) that let on that the Royal family was hated by the common Saud. If their security forces ever turn on the Royals, they’d all be dead in a day…and that was over 35 years ago. They still rule with an iron hand and brook no dissent…as they are scared to death that their people will rise up. With all their ‘success’ in Yemen and the attacks on home soil, I imagine they sleep with one eye open these days.

This constrasts a lot from the the highly skilled and brave saudis piloting the doomed flights to WTC & pentagon on 9/11 2001; perfect hits, amazing control of massive jets at high speed and low altitude, and all that with just a few hours of training on light propeller aircrafts and simulators. :P

Zionism = EVIL

The first F-15 deal in 1979 was to sell the morons third grade planes without even bomb racks, after the Saudi sons of whores licked Zionist arse they were given bomb racks in 1990.

Zionism = EVIL

I have over 30 years military aviation experience and have traveled over 120 countries, but I have never come across more stupid people than the Saudis, and I am being kind. The US sold then F-15 with inferior avionics and weaponry and then control every aspect since western maintenance contractors provide after sales support, it is like a mega after sale long term maintenance contracts the folks at Best Buy try to flog to morons if you buy a TV or a computer. The Saudis have paid western companies over $300 billion in after sales contracts and fuckall to show for.

Liberal guy

So end of wahhabi scum Al saud and all the cowards traitors soon

Zionism = EVIL

It is inevitable. The morons OIL will be worthless soon and they have an uneducated inbred Wahhabi madrassa population that is unskilled, lazy of totally moronic.

Liberal guy

Thks for the reply u r so true

FlorianGeyer

I wonder if the British made Tornado was piloted by a British mercenary? :)

Zionism = EVIL

More likely a Pakistani or Egyptian.

zman

More than likely, that or ex-NATO. I doubt that there are more than a handful of capable (Saudi) pilots, if any.

good american

I’m curious to know.

Zionism = EVIL

Ansarallah move mobile SA-6 batteries towards south. General Yahya Sari gave more details and said that the Ansarallah and Yemeni armed forces are now deploying more sophisticated longer range SAMS and preparing more air ambushes.

yep mark thatcher is one sorry useless friggin sob, saved by his mother for all his bungled business attempts – one was the failed coup against an african country and the entire group of mercenaries were apprehended at the airport in one of the neighbouring countries and mark, being onboard was allowed to leave and no legal consequence for him but I think the other guys received stiff prison terms in the neighbouring african country.

All the limey git Tories are Zionist bought arseholes.

Red Pilled ThoughtCrimes
