When weapons or supply facilities go up in flames in Sana'a or a Yemeni harbour city controlled by Huhti militias, the media usually only talk about Israeli retaliatory strikes. They follow drone and rocket attacks, which only rarely reach Israel's borders or pass through Eilat's air defence system without being hit. The fact that these strikes in Yemen were launched from on board Israeli ships, presumably the Sa'ar-6 corvettes (Magen class, 90 metres, 1,900 tonnes) in the Red Sea, usually goes unmentioned. Their capabilities far exceed simple coastal bombardment: the Blue Spear, developed from the Gabriel sea target FK, accurately delivers a 75-kilogram warhead at low altitude to a range of over 400 kilometres. The advantage of FK missions from naval platforms is that they do not provide any advance indicators of engagement, do not require large-scale flight and support planning for a coordinated air attack over the sea and over long distances - and can be carried out quickly. Even tried and tested drones such as the IAI Heron or Elbit Hermes can be fought in the interior of Yemen and are more suitable for attacks by sea against targets near the coast.
