Yemen's Houthis Replace Iranian Technology to Avoid Hezbollah's Fate: Shift Towards Chinese and Russian Tech
Houthi Rebels have begun replacing Iranian technology with Chinese and Russian surveillance and communication systems, aiming to prevent security breaches similar to those that have affected their allies in the "Axis of Resistance," particularly Hezbollah in Lebanon.
According to leaked documents, the Rebels are strengthening its intelligence capabilities by importing advanced equipment from China, including data extraction devices worth $60,000, designated for the Jihadi Preventive Security Unit, the Houthis' covert intelligence arm, overseen by senior leader Ahsan Abdullah Al-Hamran, a close associate of Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi.
Reports indicate that Chinese and Russian technical and intelligence support for the Houthis is increasing, coinciding with the withdrawal of Iranian vessels, which previously served as command and control centers in the Red Sea. This shift in strategy comes as the Houthis continue their military escalation in the region, including drone and missile strikes against Israeli targets. The move reflects their efforts to enhance cyber defenses and reduce vulnerability to security breaches.
