    HOT SKIES OVER YEMEN: AERIAL WARFARE OVER THE SOUTHERN ARABIAN PENINSULA
    TOM COOPER
    Following the Civil War of 1994, Yemen experienced few years of relative peace. This was rudely interrupted in 2004, when the government opened the first of six campaigns against the movement colloquially known as ‘Houthis’. The Yemeni Air Force – partially re-equipped over the previous years – saw intensive involvement in this conflict, but proved insufficient. In late 2009 an...
