Feb. 21 Red Sea Rollup TAMPA, Fla. – On Feb. 21, between 12:00 a.m. and 6:45 p.m. (Sanaa time), U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted four self-defense strikes against seven mobile Houthi Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles and one mobile Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile launcher that were prepared to launch towards the Red Sea. Additionally, during this timeframe CENTCOM forces shot down a one-way attack unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in self-defense. CENTCOM forces identified the missiles, launchers and UAS originating from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and determined that they presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and to U.S. Navy ships in the region. CENTCOM forces subsequently struck and destroyed the missiles, launchers and UAS in self-defense. These actions will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy and merchant vessels.

The US military has conducted its first defensive strikes against unmanned underwater vessels in the Red Sea. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) executed targeted strikes against Houthi forces in Yemen, engaging an unmanned underwater vessel deployed by the Iranian-backed group. The operation involved precision strikes against Houthi naval assets, including anti-ship cruise missiles and unmanned vessels. These strikes were conducted in response to the immediate threat posed by these assets to US Navy and commercial ships operating in the region. The use of unmanned underwater vessels by the Houthis represents a concerning escalation in their offensive capabilities. However, these engagements provide valuable intelligence on emerging maritime threats, including new types of weaponry, and demonstrate the adaptability and preparedness of the US Navy in facing unprecedented challenges. #USNavy #USMilitary #UnmannedUnderwaterVessels #MaritimeSecurity #DefensiveStrikes #MilitaryTechnology

Simultaneous Bomb Drops: A Complex Question Determining the exact number of US fighter planes and drones capable of simultaneously dropping bombs is highly classified information and would depend on numerous factors: * Aircraft type: Different aircraft have varying bomb-carrying capacities and release mechanisms. * Weapon load: The number and type of bombs carried by each aircraft will impact the overall bomb load. * Target area: The size and nature of the target will influence the number of aircraft required. * Tactical considerations: Factors like aerial refueling, weather conditions, and enemy defenses will affect the operation. * Operational tempo: The frequency and duration of bombing runs will impact the overall capability. While specific numbers are unavailable, it's safe to say that the US military possesses a substantial air force capable of delivering a massive amount of firepower in a short period. Modern aircraft and weapons systems are designed to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in delivering ordnance.
