The Aden Crisis   level 1

"Russia continues to secretly bring nuclear tipped surface to surface missiles
into Yemen by cargo ship, to the large Russian base at Aden.
The Saudis suspect trouble and call in help from NATO which tasks
reconnaissance assets to investigate.
An air and sea exclusion zone is declared in the southern Red Sea, and the
western gulf of Aden.
The tension between NATO and the combined Russian / Yemeni forces
rapidly increases.
The Saudis try to stay moderate, but by now NATO forces are flying openly over
Yemeni airspace.
The  reconnaissance  planes have been given armed escorts,  which results in
an incident when surface to air missiles are fired.
The Russians create trouble at the United Nations but try not to be directly
involved in the fighting.
The Yemeni government insights anti western feeling throughout the middle east,
US assets are targeted by guerrillas in the  Yemeni / Saudi hills.
However the guerrillas are engaged by the US airforce, which also sends
missions looking for SCUD's of the regular Yemeni army known to have been
delivered by the Russians.
After units of the Yemeni army have been totally routed the US is forced to
withdraw by UN and home pressure under further Yemeni action."
