The latest revelation highlights Sanaa's growing naval and aerial military capabilities.
In the same context, the Military Media published footage showing the "Toophan al-Mudammer" USV targeting the ship Transworld Navigator in the Red Sea last week, after its owning company violated the ban imposed by the YAF on entry to the ports of occupied Palestine.

The YAF had warned all companies continuing commercial dealings with the Israeli occupation entity through maritime shipping, underlining that their ships would be directly targeted within the YAF's operational area, regardless of their destination.
YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree also affirmed that the operations of the YAF will continue until the Israeli aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in Gaza is lifted.
Earlier this month, the YAF unveiled the "Palestine" ballistic missile, then the "Toophan-1" unmanned surface vehicle, followed by the "Hatem 2" ballistic missile.
