The aircraft carrier "Eisenhower" was beaten away by the Houthis in Yemen! The U.S. military announced that the aircraft carrier had completed its deployment in CENTCOM's area of responsibility and was departing for home. According to US media reports, the US Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt, which has arrived in Busan, south of South Korea, to hold joint military exercises, will be deployed to the Middle East after the end of this round of exercises. Pentagon spokesman Pat Brown. Ryder said in a statement on the 23rd, "Next week, the USS Roosevelt nuclear-powered aircraft carrier will leave the Indo-Pacific region and head to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility." "
The US Navy aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt departed from Northeast Asia and is not expected to arrive in the Middle East until August, when the aircraft carrier and strike group will pass through the Gulf of Aden in the Arabian Sea, through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea, and then enter the eastern Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal. It is unclear whether the USS Roosevelt will carry out military strikes against Yemen's Houthis in the Red Sea, as the USS Eisenhower did. But one thing is certain: once the USS Roosevelt carrier strike group enters the Arabian Sea, it will be targeted by Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles.
The Houthis' latest unveiled "Hatem-2" anti-ship ballistic missile
As far as the Houthis are concerned, they have long been on the same page as the US Navy, and they will not hesitate to strike at US aircraft carriers, because they are not afraid to do another 15 years after they have already done the first year (to strike at the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier). Moreover, the Houthis summed up the lessons of three strikes on the USS Eisenhower and will be more confident in striking the USS Roosevelt. In addition to confidence and courage, the Houthis now have more advanced anti-carrier ballistic missiles to strike the USS Roosevelt.
ON JUNE 26, YEMEN'S HOUTHI REBELS UNVEILED THE HATEM-2 ANTI-SHIP BALLISTIC MISSILE USED TO STRIKE THE ISRAELI MERCHANT SHIP MSC SARAH V IN THE ARABIAN SEA TWO DAYS AGO, CLAIMING THAT IT HAS THE NATURE OF A "HYPERSONIC MISSILE". This missile is indeed the first anti-ship ballistic missile with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers in the Houthis, and it proved its reliability in the first operation. IN THE VIDEO, THE HOUTHI NEW HATEM-2 MISSILE HIT THE MIDDLE OF THE HULL OF THE ISRAELI MERCHANT SHIP "MSC SARAH V" FOR THE FIRST TIME AND EXPLODED VIOLENTLY.
An Israeli cargo ship hit by an anti-ship ballistic missile of the Houthis "Hatem-2".
According to the analysis of military experts, the missile itself is similar to Iran's medium-range ballistic missile "Khaybar. Shekan-2 "type is similar. The fact that this new, finely crafted anti-ship ballistic missile that appeared in the video accurately hit the Israeli cargo ship is undoubtedly a wake-up call to the US Navy's "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier, and once the "Roosevelt" enters the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea, it will be greeted by a precision strike by the "Hatem-2" anti-ship ballistic missile.
