I hear it was drones that attacked the oil field & Yemeni's claimed the attack.
Aren't those oil fields protected and why weren't these drones detected and intercepted before the attack?
I can't believe that these oil fields are that vulnerable to such attacks and that the Saudi's don't have radar ability to detect a potential attack and protect their oil fields. What am I missing here? What was said about this attack and why was it so much of a surprise to the Saudi's?
So much of the Saudi riches depend on oil - it seems suspect to me that these fields were unprotected. What gives?

Hell, the tiny ones you can buy would be virtually undetectable by radar.
But why would you assume their oil production facilities are protected from such things?

Well, I'm betting a contract or two is being signed right now.
