Pistorius visits frigate: In the “war march” to the Red Sea. It is the Bundeswehr's first foreign deployment for which Boris Pistorius is responsible.

17 European Union states and Norway are taking part in the mission, five of them with ships. The Bundestag will vote on the mission on Friday. The crew is on alert around the clock in six-hour shifts and is therefore prepared for all possible attacks - be it with ballistic missiles, drones or even kamikaze speedboats with explosive charges.
