Some exciting results from Baltops 24 where the Royal Navy proved the portability and adaptability of their expeditionary mine hunting kit, including our Mission Specialist Defender.
Working closely with our NATO and JEF allies, Coastal Forces Squadron delivered MTXG capability to BALTOPs for the first time. Another step closer to normalising seabed warfare and MCM from platforms of opportunity. 🌍 https://lnkd.in/evgkZ5pZ

#Iran's influence extends beyond the Red Sea, where it arms the #Yemen's #Houthis/#Houthi. It has also provided at least five Zolfaghar (Peykaap III) class fast patrol craft to the Bolivarian Navy of Venezuela. These vessels are equipped with two single anti-ship missile launchers capable of firing Kowsar/Nasr missiles, as well as being compatible with Chinese C-701/FL-10 torpedoes. With this transfer of #Iranian arms, a potential threat now looms 2,432.39 nautical miles south of the United States of America's coastline in the western hemisphere, within the Caribbean Sea. https://lnkd.in/e_Yda7WX
