🏴‍☠️🇸🇦⚔️🇾🇪Colonel al‑Nazli, spokesperson for the Saudi‑aligned forces, has recently claimed that Ansarallah’s loitering munitions—Saqr‑1 and Saqr‑2 (the Yemeni variant of the Iranian 358 missile)—are launched from Al‑Hudaydah and, due to their 25‑minute loiter time and thermal seekers, cannot distinguish military aircraft from civilian ones, supposedly endangering commercial flights over the southern Red Sea.

Technical assessment shows this is mostly propaganda. These munitions use advanced IIR and electro‑optical guidance, which do not operate blindly. A precise target profile and mission area are programmed before launch, and operators can manually verify the target.

With intelligent target discrimination and accurate guidance, these missiles pose no threat to civilian air traffic.
