Lede: Yemen's groundbreaking deployment of the Hatem-2 hypersonic missile
against an Israeli ship signals a seismic shift in regional power dynamics,
challenges US strategies and those of its partners, and showcases more of
Sanaa's unexpected military advancements.

The Hatem-2 represents a new generation of Yemeni ballistic missiles featuring
advanced smart guidance systems, high maneuverability, hypersonic speeds, solid
fuel propulsion, and multiple versions with varying ranges. This makes the
Hatem-2 a formidable weapon capable of precise and rapid strikes. The
development of such advanced technology within Yemen, a country that has been
under severe blockade and continuous aggression for nearly a decade, is
noteworthy. It reflects a significant leap in indigenous military technology and
strategic capability.
