[US]Navy uses anti-ship ballistic missiles to engage Iran-backed Houthis in Red Sea

[FoxNews] The U.S. Navy fired anti-ship ballistic missiles on Tuesday against incoming Iran-backed Houthi missiles in the Red Sea, signaling a significant escalation in the region, a senior defense official told Fox News.

The Navy engaged three ballistic missiles provided to Yemen's Houthis by Iran. It was the first time the Navy shot down an incoming ballistic missile using an anti-ship ballistic missile.

Naval assets, including the USS Laboon and F/A-18 Super Hornets from the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, shot down 12 one-way attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles and two land attack missiles fired by the Houthis over a 12-hour period, U.S. Central Command said.

#1 Anti-ship ballistic missile shoots down incoming ballistic missile. That's what I call Kentucky windage. Or somebody's auto check for loose.

#2 I await the news article indicating Yemeni rubble has been bounced. Deal with the disease, not the symptom.

#3 This is just dodgeball. Bad ROE in place because Joe has been paid not to injure Iranians.
