I think I need to become far more informed about these matters as this is rather surprising to read.

I’ve been watching Russia toddle about with their “second best in the world” equipment, demonstrating how difficult it can be. And now I’m reading that Houthi rebels have missiles that can make it outside some meaningful definition of “atmosphere”?

Maybe I’m failing to understand how modern military rocketry works.

The Houthi are using Scud-type missiles supplied by Iran that normally reach an altitude of 160km / 100 miles.

FWIW, the edge of space is usually, somewhat arbitrarily defined as the Karman line, 100 km / 62.1 mi.
