TL;DR Summary

The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) has detailed the Houthi anti-ship missile arsenal, including six anti-ship ballistic missiles and six anti-ship cruise missiles acquired since 2014. The arsenal includes Iranian-backed designs and domestically developed systems, posing a significant threat to maritime traffic in the Red Sea. The Houthis have used a variety of missiles and drones in attacks, but most have been intercepted or missed their targets. The ongoing strikes provide valuable real-world data for both Iran and the United States to develop countermeasures and tactics, with potential broader implications for anti-ship missile defense.
