Saudis have shut down half their oil output because of this.

You seem to stay up to date on Arab/Islamic events.  In your opinion, who is [more] in the right and who is [more] in the wrong?

They have a bunch of low tech drones, the best ones can apparently travel over 1,000km according to some western anylists. There's a nytime writeup about it. Supposedly they cost at most $15k each hahaha. 

Their drones can also evade detection apparently, probably by flying low. This is not the first time they've surprised the Saudis with them.

And yeah, the Saudis have the 3rd highest defense budget rn & yet are unable to pacify Yemen. Maybe its time they were liberated with some democracy.
