POWERING THE HOUTHIS
CAR field investigators have documented more than 800 missile and UAV components recovered in maritime seizures in the Red Sea in 2024 and 2025. These provide critical insight into the composition and nature of advanced conventional weapon systems—like missiles and UAVs—in Houthi possession. This Frontline Perspective examines the missiles and UAVs available to the Houthis in Yemen, as identified through CAR’s analysis of documented components. It provides evidence of a continuing supply of Iranian-origin materiel to the Houthis in Yemen and explores the nature of the multipurpose components on which these missiles rely.
ITRACE
iTrace is a European Union and German Government-funded project which provides policy makers with the precise, verified information required to understand weapon transfers in detail and, thereby, develop effective, evidence-based weapon management and control.
