The Truth Behind Houthi's Secret Arsenal

After the recent incident where two ballistic missiles were launched towards the USS Mason

(DDG-87) in the Gulf of Aden, attributed to the Houthi group, here's a probable list of Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles they might possess, ranking them from the most to least likely options.

• A modified version of the "Persian Gulf/Khalij Fars" Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile, reportedly supplied by Iran. This missile is a derivative of the Fateh-110 Ballistic Missile.

Range: 300km

Payload: 650kg

• An adaptation of the Fateh-110 Surface-to-Surface Ballistic Missile, also believed to be provided by Iran.

Range: 300km

Payload: 500kg

• The Burkan-1, a mobile Surface-to-Surface Ballistic Missile, part of the SCUD Missile Family. This missile is said to be domestically produced by both Iran and the Houthi forces.

Range: 800km

Payload: 500kg

• A variant of the Hormuz-1/2 Naval Strike Ballistic Missile, which is another evolution of the Fateh-110, featuring anti-radiation countermeasures and terminal guidance. However, it's uncertain if this model has been supplied to the Houthis by Iran.
