USV symbolHouthi explosive USVs (family)
A family-level category for Houthi explosive uncrewed surface boats, not a single standard hull. CTC describes converted Shark-33 boats; IISS analyses a wider maritime campaign. The sources describe different evidence units and cannot yield one universal range, load or success rate.[1][2]
Archived research edition. Archive statistics and new dossiers are available on the current profile.
