A separate statement from the group&#8217;s Saba News Agency says their forces shot down the aircraft with an unspecified surface-to-air missile. The complete video also shows the sensor turret on an improvised ground mount. The F-15S fighter appears to increase speed and releases decoy flares before a projectile hits it, appearing to cause significant damage. The fate of the pilots is unknown at this time.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0644\u062d\u0638\u0629 \u0625\u0635\u0627\u0628\u0629 \u0637\u0627\u0626\u0631\u0629 \u0625\u0641 15 \u062a\u0627\u0628\u0639\u0629 \u0644\u0644\u062a\u062d\u0627\u0644\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0639\u0648\u062f\u064a \u0641\u064a \u0633\u0645\u0627\u0621 \u0635\u0646\u0639\u0627\u0621\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5lVTBIIwimA?start=61&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read more at : http:\/\/www.thedrive.com\/the-war-zone\/17486\/houthi-rebels-release-flir-video-showing-shoot-down-of-saudi-f-15s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sourced : The Drive By Tyler Rogoway and Joseph Trevithick Houthi rebels have released video they claim shows the exact moment they shot down Royal Saudi Air Force F-15S over Yemen.
