Analysing Houthi Missile Components

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.
