No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It's like this video was made to be commented in this thread. It uses the same conflict as an example and it covers the same details from the question
The crazy part is that this video was made already one month ago, I didn't realized warship started to intercept drones that early.
I hope a war won't start, but It may-be an interesting conflict to watch, and with the massive impact cheap drones have in Ukraine and Armenia it may-be less asymmetric than the previous ones. A pitty that one more time kids will come back in wooden box to please a few rich assholes owning stocks in the defence industry.
The biggest problem with that approach, especially in a full blown war, is the opponent with the technical edge can usually pinpoint where the drone was either launched from, or is being controlled from.
And you will not be intercepting whatever they shoot back with.
I want to say the US was quietly reporting shooting down drones and even missiles basically within days of the start of the conflict.
It is just that it is not in the US's interest to say "We are under attack and need to get directly involved in this shitshow", it is not in Israel's interest to acknowledge that this ethnic cleansing is part of a larger war against their neighbors, and it isn't in Al Jazeera/Qatar's interest to acknowledge anything but the ethnic cleansing. Because the reality is that Hamas are (allegedly) backed by Iran and they, and Iran, are more or less sacrificing the Palestinian people to promote their own interests. And Israel is glad to cooperate while avoiding a "real" war.
What I will add: Random drones and even missiles aren't entirely unheard of even when there is not a conflict waiting to boil over. It is just, again, it isn't really in anyone's interest to make a big deal out of them.
In a selected port, with a crane. That's basically the tl;dr from the video Kalash posted at 4:23 time index.
But the Houthis didn't fire at warships. I know some outlets had similar sounding titles but they were clickbait and their own articles were contradicting their title. The Houthis were firing towards merchant vessels and within 20 km or so, there was also a warship, which then reacted.
