Why the US Navy can't stop Houthi rebels - CaspianReport

[TexasTowelie]

The US Navy finds itself in the most intense naval engagement since World War II. Six months on, the Houthis remained undeterred. Why is that?

1. Very hard to target mobile missile launchers in urban environments without mass civilian casualties

Houthis seem very good at keeping a low enough profile that conventional air or missile strikes are very hard to target until its too late. I am surprised that special forces has not been sent in to try and ascertain weapons stockpiles and command centers locations but perhaps they have and those things are so well dispersed and hidden that risk of losing operatives is too great for no gain. Tough nut for sure.
