Hm. They asked for it.

This is quite impressive, though.
Who armed the rebels as to enable them to take down jets?

So we have one group of Arabs we really don't like (the Yemenis) killing another group of Arabs we really, really shouldn't like (the Saudis) ... what's not to like?  :nod:

Did a Saudi fighter crash?

Foxtrot Alpha is reporting that the 'aircraft wreckage' is just droptanks and AIM-120C missiles. The article states that it is possible that a Saudi fighter dropped its external stores. It goes on to state that this does not mean an aircraft didn't crash, but that the images are not of a crashed aircraft.
