Germany sends another warship to the Red Sea – frigate “Hamburg” with special armament. EU operation decided on Monday to secure merchant shipping in Red Sea pursues the same goal.
With its radar SMART-L (Signal Multibeam Acquisition Radar for Tracking, L band), the ‘Hamburger’ can, for example, monitor the airspace over the North Sea, according to the Bundeswehr. This is likely to bring the Houthi drones into focus. The Houthi rebels want an end to the Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip by shelling ships.
