So indirectly the Houthis destroyed a 60 million $ jet and 19 reaper drones 👍👍👍👍

That Yemen war is starting to be costly.

I would guess that every country on the planet is feeling the cost of the Houthi's interference with international shipping. A jet fighter and a few Reapers is small beer by comparison.

 

The sooner they are put out of action the better it well be for everyone.

You can bet some poor sod is on a fizzer for this. I'd humbly suggest there are procedures in place to prevent jets rolling out the side door during an evasive manoeuvre. 

Could be 2 guys the fighter pilot and the tractor/tug operator!

I wonder how close they came to going over board?
