The most severe destruction occurred at gates 401 to 403, which were struck initially by Quds cruise missiles, each carrying a payload of 150 kg.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bryen, the situation was further compounded when debris from Patriot interceptors crashed into the terminals, causing fires and spreading shrapnel.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that no air raid sirens were sounded and no early warning of the strike was issued, the author stressed that the airport lacked a civil defence system, shelters, or publicized evacuation procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Arguing it was clear that Ansar Allah &#8220;aimed to cause mass casualties in order to punish Saudi Arabia for its support of government forces in Yemen&#8221;, the author stated that &#8220;the Houthi militia had repeatedly issued public warnings regarding their intentions&#8221; and had made plain their goal of shutting down the Riyadh airport, even if it was not their sole target.<\/p>\n<p>Bryen continued:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite modern radars and airborne early warning systems, the launches of the unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles went undetected. Saudi Arabia possesses five E-3A AWACS aircraft, two Saab 2000 Erieye AWACS aircraft equipped with modern AESA radars (the E-3A radar being an older pulse-Doppler system), and a series of other dedicated tactical reconnaissance platforms (RE-3A, RE-3B). These systems and coastal radar installations are integrated into a centralized defence network linked to air defence assets such as Patriot, THAAD, and up to 10 batteries of the Korean-made KM-SAM Block-II (Cheongung-II) used for lower-tier air defence against short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs), cruise missiles, aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pointing out that there are no reports indicating other countries, particularly the US and Israel, detected the Yemeni launches or alerted Saudi Arabia even if they did, the US expert recalled that drone and cruise missile launches are &#8220;easily concealed&#8221; and wrote that detecting such operations requires high-quality intelligence, typically human intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fact that Saudi Arabia established an initiative named the &#8216;Mecca Joint Defence Agreement&#8217; &#8230; with Pakistan and T\u00fcrkiye, excluding the US and frustrating Washington&#8217;s drive to expand the Abraham Accords to the Kingdom, may have played a role in dampening US interest in assisting the Kingdom with the Houthis and the Yemen issue,&#8221; Bryen claimed, arguing that it remains uncertain whether Washington will intervene now.<\/p>\n<p>Emphasising that the Ansar Allah operation was an intensive attack employing new or upgraded technology &#8220;originating from Iran and perhaps developed with the support of Russia and China&#8221;, the author said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The suicide unmanned aerial vehicle used by the Houthis was the Samad-3. The Samad-3 is an extended-range loitering munition powered by a two-stroke, twin-cylinder piston engine (typically identified as a 3W110i B2 or DLE 170 class model) driving a rear-mounted pusher propeller. During long-range operations, such as extended flights exceeding 1,500 to 2,600 km, it generally flies at a lower average cruising speed of 148 to 185 km\/h (80 to 100 knots or roughly 92 to 115 mph) to conserve fuel. Western experts do not consider the Samad-3 to be highly accurate, even though the latest variants have been enhanced with more jam-resistant satellite links. Between 30 and 40 Samad drones were deployed in the successive strikes on King Khalid Airport.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the Quds cruise missile was more lethal, carried a larger warhead, featured advanced electronics, and was powered by a copy of the commercial Czech PBS TJ100 turbojet engine, pointing out that this copy was manufactured in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Underlining that the Quds-2 utilizes satellite-assisted navigation (GPS\/GNSS) and inertial navigation systems (INS), Bryen said: &#8220;As a low-flying cruise missile, it can use terrain masking to evade standard radar coverage and air defence systems. The successful strikes by Quds cruise missiles on Terminals 3 and 4 demonstrate that it possesses effective guidance and anti-jamming electronic systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Saudi officials had asserted that they intercepted a portion of the Burkan ballistic missiles using Patriot systems. According to Bryen, the Burkan missiles were not the elements that inflicted the primary damage on the airport.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the Burkan ballistic missiles, the author wrote:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Burkan is a modernized ballistic missile. Once the boost phase is completed following launch, the warhead separates from the missile body. The high-speed warhead alone is difficult for radar to detect. The Burkan-2H and Burkan-3 feature a separable, triconic (&#8216;baby-bottle&#8217; shaped) warhead inherited from Iran&#8217;s Qiam-1 and Shahab-3 designs. The separated warhead lacks active control surfaces, such as grid fins or thrusters, to execute evasive manoeuvres or terminal guidance corrections against interceptors like the MIM-104 Patriot. Nevertheless, the missile body travels along the same trajectory as the warhead, creating discrimination and targeting challenges for systems such as the Patriot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The author finds it &#8220;striking&#8221; that the damage inflicted by the Ansar Allah strike on King Khalid International Airport is roughly equivalent to the Iranian strikes against a series of US and Israeli bases that began with the &#8220;Martyr Soleimani&#8221; operation hitting Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bryen, the takeaway from all this points to &#8220;grave intelligence shortcomings, inadequate integration of sensors, including radars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Recalling that several of these sensors had been targeted and destroyed by Iran, the author listed those targets: the half-billion-dollar THAAD radar (AN-TPY-2) stationed at Muwaffaq Salti in March 2026, the AN\/FPS-132 Block 5 upgraded Early Warning Radar (UEWR) located near Al Khor in northern Qatar supporting US and Qatari ballistic missile tracking efforts, other early warning radars in the UAE, and air defence systems functioning well enough to prevent significant damage.<\/p>\n<p>The author concluded his article by arguing that air defence systems and American base planning must be overhauled entirely:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The US has focused on refining legacy systems like the Patriot and has introduced some interim systems like NASAMS, but has otherwise neglected developing new air defence solutions. Systems such as THAAD and the Navy&#8217;s SM-3 could also play a role, but their utility has remained limited. THAAD was not utilized in the Riyadh strike.<\/p>\n<p>If the Houthi militia and the Iranians can penetrate the air defence networks of the US and its allies, the entire system will require a serious overhaul. Withdrawing from Middle Eastern bases is not a genuine solution; it is merely a short-term temporary fix. Even being pushed out of the United Kingdom should serve as a warning that base defences urgently need to be rethought.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- notionvc: e4bc3636-30f7-42e9-93af-c87126e3f7c9 --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Successful strikes carried out by the Yemeni resistance against King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh have intensified scrutiny over air defence systems.
