Jack sent me this: "Have you seen the BBC's featured opinion piece from yesterday? Choice parts of the Saudi military puff piece read:
"The success achieved by the RSAF in hitting military targets was high, and initially the precision munitions caused little collateral damage.
...
However, the longer Decisive Storm went on and the fewer defined targets remaining that showed clear military purpose, the more collateral damage and incorrect target identification occurred.
The Houthis, like so-called Islamic State, got better at concealing their activities, the result being that strikes increasingly erred in accuracy and caused civilian casualties.
...
If the definition of success is the removal of strategic and tactical threats to the Saudi homeland, then yes the Saudis basically achieved their aims."
