Conspiracy? I am struggling to fathom how Saudi Arabia, the country with the highest defense spend in 2018, an estimated 67.6 billion dollars was unable to defend itself from a shower of old chicken-shit drones and cruise missiles! It all sounds very fishy to me, agreed?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.As the damage was minimal, I'd say this was a warning to Saudi Arabia to back off from Yemen or a real strike would shut them down for real.
Sadly, these two have been at each other for decades. The US wants them to stay peaceful so we can keep selling weapons systems.

Well, those weapons systems you want to keep selling them have proven to be woefully inadequate if reports are to be believed!
@Austin-Cambridge They don't need to work at all. They just have to be profitable enough to keep a few Trump voters employed.
Most drones fly below radar-cover. And because they are relatively low-tech, they might make for a 'poor man's air force' to augment 'poor man's armies' with.

With that sort of wonga most nations can see a cigarette pack clearly from outerspace! Still smells fishy mate.
I am not a lover of conspiracy theories but the fact that the damage was so minimal and exactly on target makes it look like it was an attempt to get the US involved in a war with Iran

My thoughts too. Israel maybe?
You are right on the money there, Iran stays within its borders militarily and does not send troops anywhere as far as I know, state sponsored interference however, is another question. They are blamed for most atrocities but by whom, the same people who said Saddam Hussain had WMD's?
@davknight A war is always good at election time, or is that just a strange coincidence, again?
I dunno weve seen lots of failed examples of big vs guerilla. Maybe the Saudis eere too worried about big ships in the gulf, trying to sreal stuff, not little things that were only destructive.
