More than two months of clashes with the Houthis are costing the Pentagon dearly, the American publication The Hill reported on March 2.
The author of the publication, Brad Dress, notes that direct clashes with the Houthis have become a burden for the US military, as the cost of long-range air defense missiles significantly exceeds the price of cheap Houthi drones . It is also noted that in November and February the Houthis shot down expensive US drones worth $32 million.
The article emphasizes that the cost of fighting the Houthis is increasing, but they are not going to stop and could drag the United States into a protracted conflict.
However, the author admits that the cost of confrontation with the Houthis is not as great as the damage they can cause to the global economy.
Citing experts, the publication proposes broader use of electronic warfare (EW) to reduce the cost of destroying Houthi drones.
