Saudi Military Posts Fall apart before Blows of Yemeni army
2015-07-03
[ALMANAR.LB] In retaliation for the persistent Saudi-US aggression, the Yemeni army and the Popular Committees stormed the al-Hajl Saudi military post in Dhahran- Asir and destroyed a BMP tank and one military vehicle.
A BMP 1 is a Soviet-era armored personnel carrier. It's armed with a 73mm gun, but it's more lightly armored than a tank and I don't think the gun's stabilized--it has to stop to aim.
The armor vehicles destroyed appear to be MBTs, though I can't tell the type. The narration said the tanks destroyed were Abrams. Unlikely, but it is what it sez.
Moreover in the home front, the Yemeni forces advanced in Taez province west of the country and liberated several positions from the control of al-Qaeda operatives.

The Yemeni military media broadcast on Wednesday the following footage that documented seizing control over the Saudi Al-Shorfa military position, as the national army and Popular Committees stormed the Al-Sho'ba military post in Saudi Dhahran-Asir region:
