Belgium announced on Monday the postponement of deploying its forces in the Red Sea after the failure of the defense systems of the frigate “Louise-Marie” to intercept missiles and aircraft from Sana’a.
According to American media, the Belgian Ministry of Defense stated today, Monday, that “Belgium has postponed the deployment of the frigate Louise-Marie in the Red Sea for an unspecified period of time after the ship failed in several technical tests during training.”
According to the American website “Defense News,” the ministry has “refused to provide details on the matter.”
Earlier, the French Navy announced that the frigate “Alsace” of the “Aquitaine” class had returned to the port of Toulon last week after a 71-day mission in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden as part of the European Union Naval Force’s Operation “Atalanta.”
According to the French newspaper “Le Figaro,” the French Navy frigate “Alsace” returned from its operational mission in the Red Sea after what its commander, Jerome Henry, described as an unprecedented level of attacks by Houthi drones, ballistic missiles, and naval forces.
Days before that, Denmark dismissed its defense chief following the failure of its naval vessels’ defense systems to counter Sana’a’s attacks.
