In the context of the Houthis launching drones against western ships.
So I heard that recently, both French and US warships have been targetted by Houthis drone and had to shoot some missiles to get rid of them.
Shooting 2 missiles isn’t necessarily a big deal, but assuming the thing don’t calm down, a warship shooting two missiles a day will quickly run low in Sea to Air missile.
How easy is to reload a warship ? Can you have navy helicopter dropping some missiles to the ship so they extend the patrol ? Can you transport naval missile in a cargo plane so you can reload them in a “remote” naval-base (thinking about the French base in Djibouti for example) or do they have to sail all the way to their home base (Effectively limiting the ability to keep boats patrolling on zone) ?
In a selected port, with a crane. That’s basically the tl;dr from the video Kalash posted at 4:23 time index.
But the Houthis didn’t fire at warships. I know some outlets had similar sounding titles but they were clickbait and their own articles were contradicting their title. The Houthis were firing towards merchant vessels and within 20 km or so, there was also a warship, which then reacted.
