In the clearest sign yet that the United States, the United Kingdom, and another western power are planning a massive air attack against Houthis in Yemen, the Sanaa, Yemen main airport reports its radio beacon (VOR/DME) has been "totally destroyed" as of last night local time.
Notice(s) to Air Missions (NOTAM) provide the details:
And this other NOTAM telling pilots which radio frequency to use:
In radio navigation, a VOR/DME is a radio beacon that combines a VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) with a distance-measuring equipment (DME).[1] The VOR allows the receiver to measure its bearing to or from the beacon, while the DME provides the slant distance between the receiver and the station. Together, the two measurements allow the receiver to compute a position fix.[2]
