Hearing this, Salaman almost laughed in anger.
“Are you making up excuses so casually?”
“You said the Houthis are strong, I can admit that.”
“But what do you mean by saying their equipment is too strong?”
“Do you think I’m so old that I don’t even know what weapons the Houthis are using?”
Salaman was extremely disappointed with his incompetent son at this moment.
Nowadays, the Houthis have publicly announced their victory over the coalition forces.
This has made the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a laughingstock among countries on Blue Star.
Even other countries in the Middle East have expressed dissatisfaction with Saudi Arabia's failure to lead the coalition.
Several countries have secretly discussed withdrawing from the subsequent coalition operations.
This undoubtedly shook Saudi Arabia's leading position in the Middle East.
Not only abroad, but also within the royal family, there have been many voices questioning Aziz's capabilities.
Salaman called him over not only to understand the specific reasons for their failure.
He also wanted to find a suitable excuse for Aziz to quell the questioning of his abilities.
But he really didn't expect Aziz to be so stupid.
He actually came up with a lame excuse that the Houthis had strong equipment.
When did KA and old-fashioned rocket launchers become strong equipment?
He’s simply hopeless!
Aziz also saw his father's disappointment.
He immediately explained with grievance and helplessness.
“Father, what I said is true!”
“The Houthis' weapons have really become stronger, their individual combat weapons are even better than our army.”
“This is video footage we got from the battlefield, you can see for yourself.”
As he spoke, Aziz handed over the phone he had prepared.
Hearing Aziz's firm words, Salaman, although somewhat skeptical, decided to take a look.
The video starts on the battlefield of the Saudi coalition.
Judging from the uniforms of the soldiers in the video, there is no doubt that it is their own Saudi troops.
At this time, in the video, several advanced M1A2 main battle tanks purchased from Freeland are quickly driving on a road.
Salaman recognized that this should be their armored tank force.
In the video, you can hear the Saudi soldiers laughing happily.
Clearly, the Saudi soldiers are still confident at this time.
Just when Salaman was wondering what Aziz wanted him to see in this video.
The picture suddenly changed.
The video shows that in the grass not far from the road, dense figures suddenly appeared.
Although the lens is a bit far away, he can still see the rocket launchers carried on the shoulders of these figures.
Seeing this, Salaman frowned.
He knew that this was their armored tank force, ambushed by the Houthis.
However, Salaman was still somewhat puzzled.
In the previous video released by the Houthis, it was clearly stated.
Their Saudi coalition's armored tank force suffered heavy casualties.
But he saw in this video that although there were many ambushers, they didn't have heavy weapons.
How could they possibly inflict heavy casualties on their armored tank force with just these individual rocket launchers?
You know, this is the most advanced main battle tank they bought from Freeland at a high price.
Let alone individual rocket launchers, even tanks of the same level would find it difficult to destroy their tanks.
However, just as Salaman was still puzzled.
He saw from the video that countless small black dots were ejected from these individual rocket launchers of the Houthis.
The next second.
The picture suddenly became blurry and then fell into darkness.
It is likely that the person who shot this video hid in the tank after seeing these rockets.
In the dark picture, Salaman could only hear the violent explosions.
After a long time, the lens finally became clear again.
But when Salaman saw the picture in the video, his face instantly changed.
After the explosion just now, the scene instantly fell into chaos.
The flames of the explosion engulfed everything.
Even through the screen, he could feel the suffocating sense of despair.
As the smoke ahead gradually dissipated, Salaman clearly saw.
The once mighty tank force had been blown to smithereens.
Especially the several M1A2 tanks on the outermost edge, all of them had their tops blown off.
White smoke billowed out of the tanks.
Some tanks, although not opened, their armor was already riddled with holes.
The tank tracks were blown up, completely losing their mobility.
And besides these tanks, the armored vehicles in the formation were even worse.
Several large armored vehicles, some were directly penetrated by shells.
Some even overturned on the ground, bursting into flames.
Looking around, in just a moment.
Their Saudi coalition's elite armored tank force had already been beaten into a pile of scrap metal.
Seeing this, Salaman's pupils shrank.
He couldn't help but shout loudly.
“What’s going on?”
“Even if our armored tank force was ambushed by the Houthis in advance.”
“But they only had individual rocket launchers, no large heavy weapons!”
“Why are our tanks and armored vehicles as fragile as paper?!”
“Did Freeland deceive us?”
“They sold us defective products?!”
Obviously Salaman couldn't accept this fact.
This is the main battle tank they bought from Freeland!
The arms company in Freeland said at the time.
This main battle tank is one of the most advanced tanks on Blue Star today.
Even if it was attacked by a penetrator from a tank of the same level, it wouldn't be penetrated in one hit.
But now, it's easily beaten to a pulp by several individual rockets.
This made him unable to accept it.
Thinking of this, Salaman couldn't help but want to call Freeland.
To question them why they bought a bunch of defective products for a large sum of money.
Did they really think of themselves as gullible rich fools?
“Father, the main battle tanks Freeland sold us have no problems.”
Hearing Salaman's words, Aziz quickly stopped him with a grim expression.
As Saudi Arabia's Minister of National Defense, he personally negotiated for this batch of main battle tanks in Freeland.
Although, according to Saudi Arabia's request, Freeland's arms company made some modifications to this main battle tank.
But it was only a performance enhancement, not a weakening of the armor defense.
He can be very sure of this.
“It’s not Freeland’s fault? Then what’s going on?!”
Salaman said angrily.
“Father, it’s the enemy's individual rocket launchers that are too powerful.”
“The Houthis are not using the old RPG-7 rocket launchers.”
“But a very powerful individual anti-tank rocket launcher.”
“……”
Salaman's eyes narrowed.
Hearing what Aziz said, he noticed that the rocket launchers in the hands of the Houthis were indeed different from before.
