[HIGHLIGHTS] “Big worries” in the Red Sea: Frigate “Hessen” is probably suffering from a lack of ammunition

“Big worries” in the Red Sea: Frigate “Hessen” is probably suffering from a lack of ammunition. The aim is to protect the trade route against attacks by the Iran-allied Houthi rebels.

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 ammunition shortage could have implications for the German Navy and its crew. The navy ship has been in operation in theRed Sea since February 23rd, together with other EU countries.
