How come Ansar Allah seems to be winning so well?

Okay, so Ansar Allah..

  • is fighting a civil war
  • is fighting a war against Saudi Arabia
  • is surrounded by either their enemies or the sea
  • is poorer than Iran or Russia
  • has less people than Iran or Russia

Yet they seem to be doing a better job?
What's going on?

Decentralized area with poor infrastructure. Population unlikely to betray intelligence.

Hard to hit targets if you don't know what the target looks like.

  • Tunnels and missiles are currently OP against military bases, ships and planes.
  • Saudi military is well funded, but not necessarily well trained.
  • Iran and Russia actually have to hold back from certain actions for diplomatic reasons.
