Warring Sides Agree to Shared Google Calendar for Future Strikes
Officials on both sides say the new scheduling system will cut down on "awkward overlaps" and double-booked airspace.
After years of unpredictable strikes and interceptions, representatives from the coalition and Houthi forces have reportedly settled on a shared digital calendar to coordinate future fuel-depot bombings and missile launches, complete with color-coded time slots and automatic reminders sent twenty minutes before impact.
The calendar, hosted on a free scheduling app normally used for dentist appointments, allows each side to claim an open slot for a depot strike or an interception without fear of a scheduling conflict. A recurring Tuesday block has already been reserved for "general hostilities, subject to change."
"We used to just show up and strike whenever," said a logistics coordinator who declined to specify which side he represented. "Now we get a notification the night before, which really helps with sleep."
Organizers say the next step is a shared spreadsheet to track which depots have already been hit, so as not to waste a perfectly good missile on a tank that's already empty. A follow-up meeting has been scheduled to decide when the next meeting about scheduling should be held.
As of press time, the only item not yet on the calendar was an actual ceasefire, which both sides agreed was outside the scope of the current booking system.
