WILL PAKISTAN ATTACK YEMEN? | Get Ready For an Epic Fail | By Prashant Dhawan

Summary of the video (auto-subtitle based)

• Pakistan may consider strikes in Yemen: The presenter, Prashant Dhawan, claims Pakistan’s government is weighing whether to conduct air strikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
• “Mekapat/Mecapt” collective-defense logic (as stated): He argues the decision is tied to a joint-defense arrangement involving Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, where an attack on one party implies support for the others. Since rebels (Houthi) recently attacked Saudi Arabia, Pakistan may be pressured to respond.
• Key strategic claim—distance and escalation risk: He highlights that Pakistan is about 3,000 km from Yemen and would have to cross the Gulf of Oman and travel through Oman airspace. He argues such a mission could be dangerous and could trigger retaliation, including the risk that Houthi missiles could be fired at Pakistan afterward.
• Houthi strength and capability: The video argues the Houthis are not weak, asserting they have:
  • Large manpower numbers (claimed ~350,000 to 400,000 by 2025–26, with many described as civilians turned combatants)
  • Combat experience from a long conflict
  • Air-defense systems including radar-guided surface-to-air missiles and MANPADS, which he says could threaten Pakistani aircraft and missiles
  • Prior success against drones and aircraft, citing examples such as alleged shooting down of US MQ-9 Reaper drones and earlier claims involving aircraft during conflicts
• Predicted outcome—“epic fail” and possible pilot losses: While conceding Pakistan could cause damage, he predicts Pakistan would likely suffer losses and suggests the mission may become an “epic fail.” He also claims that eventually Pakistani soldiers may be deployed in/near Yemen.
• Impact on India: He argues that Pakistan taking on Yemen could create an opportunity or at least shift regional attention, but he says he does not believe India would automatically exploit Pakistan’s diversion.
• Internal political consequences for Pakistan: The presenter forecasts that Pakistan’s public may react against committing resources and lives to a Saudi-linked war, increasing internal divisions.
• Additional claim about Saudi deployment: He mentions Pakistan already has ~10,000 soldiers stationed in Saudi Arabia and suggests deployment could increase further.
