Interesting. But it seems it could be a cover up story to avoid saying that Yemen's defense system was able to shoot US' jets.

Yep. Ansar Allah did claim to have shot down US jets.

Western military supporters are going to say the USA's jets are too good to be shot down 🤣. Hoping this overconfidence bodes well against the USA's military's strategy.
