Yemen has probably more than six hundred SAM vehicles. The new TOR-M1 and the Tunguska M1 systems which were ordered and tested in 2007 have been proven to be very effective due to the fact they can destroy bombs and missiles from a close range.

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or force:
“Make me a willow cabin at your gate,
And call upon my soul within the house;
Write loyal cantons of contemned love,
And sing them loud even in the dead of night;
Halloo your name to the reverberate hills,
And make the babbling gossip of the air
Cry out “Olivia!” O, you should not rest
Between the elements of air and earth
But you should pity me.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“If we wish to know the force of human genius, we should read Shakespeare. If we wish to see the insignificance of human learning, we may study his commentators.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
