GeenStijl: New photos – Houthis have been warned! Terror of the Seven Seas enters the Red

Here comes the Wet Cavalry (that’s what you call the navy)

Gays, salvation is near! “Zr.Ms. As of today, Tromp will be deployed to combat Houthi missiles and drones in the Red Sea. The air defense and command frigate takes part in the American-led operation Prosperity Guardian. (…) The ship’s deployment lasts approximately 25 days and involves a high spectrum of violence. The unit is trained to deal with the risks. The ship is equipped with means of defense against various threats.“

Well, as long as it goes well. Because after three days the first German frigate on site shot two SM-2 (wiki) missiles at an American MQ-9 Reaper drone, but both missed this incorrect target due to “technical reasons“.

In short, it is to be hoped that OUR Zr.Ms. Tromp – which is a much nicer frigate than that hideous German one Hesse – makes a slightly more elegant entrance. OUR active SM-2 air defense below! You can do live tracking here, although it has been at the exit of Suez since yesterday, and Yemen is still some way away.

Probably to take the time for that new photo session – picture after the snap!
