“Big worries” in the Red Sea: Frigate “Hessen” is probably suffering from a lack of ammunition. The oversight and ammunition shortage could have implications for deterrence against Russia.
Especially because the Kremlin may feel threatened by Sweden's imminent admission into NATO. The German Navy shot down two enemy drones on Tuesday (February 27). But there is one concern: the frigate may be at risk of an ammunition problem. The problem: Once the ammunition has been used up, there will only be minimal supplies of one type and no supplies at all from German stocks.
