수상전투함 독일 F124, 홍해의 첫 실전에서 문제 발생

[백선호]

독일 F124형 방공함 Hessen이 2월 26일 홍해에서 미확인 무인기에 미사일을 쐈지만 뭔가 문제가 있어 맞추지 못했고, 미사일 문제는 아니고 방공함의 문제였는데 바로 고쳤다고 합니다.

2월 27일에는 무인기 2대를 성공적으로 교전했다고 하네요 ( Kurz darauf wurde diese erfolgreich bekämpft ).

First use of weapons by the frigate “Hessen”.

• MISSION
• ASPIDES

DATE: March 1, 2024 LOCATION: Red Sea

The European-led operation EUNAVFOR European Union Naval Force Aspides is supposed to ensure the protection of ships on one of the most important international trade routes against attacks by the Houthi militias from Yemen. The German Navy frigate used for this purpose has now used its on-board weapons for the first time.

On February 23, 2024, the German Bundestag decided to deploy the frigate “Hessen” into EUNAVFOR European Union Naval Force to send Aspides. With German participation, the operation makes an important contribution to protecting ships in the operational area of ​​the southern Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab from missile and drone fire as well as from attempts at hijacking using helicopters or boats.

First use of weapons

On February 26, 2024, the frigate fought a drone with guided missiles. All criteria for combat were met: the drone was on direct approach without a friend-enemy identifier. The decision to combat the attack was made in close coordination with the allied units in the maritime area and the relevant command posts. The missiles could not reach the target. According to the initial assessment, this is due to a technical error on board the frigate. The error was quickly identified and could be remedied immediately. There are no deficits in the effectiveness chain of the weapon system used.

The following day, February 27, 2024, the “Hessen” patrolled the southern Red Sea in the region assigned to her. At around 8 p.m. Central European Time, an unmanned drone detected it. Shortly afterwards this was successfully combated. Around a quarter of an hour later, the frigate detected a second drone approaching the ship. This was also successfully combated.

Information from the operational area is sensitive

The safety of the ship and crew is paramount. This requires us to handle sensitive information about the frigate “Hessen” and its deployment with particular care. That hasn't always been the case in recent days. Every detail is very likely to be eval‎uated by possible opposing actors in the region and used for future attack strategies.

Ammunition supply

The frigate “Hessen” began operations with a weapons mix adapted to the threat situation with an ammunition inventory of 100 percent. The resupply of ammunition during operations depends on the actual ammunition needs of the unit.

The frigate's anti-aircraft capability is internationally recognized

Our US allies United States Navy has so much confidence in the German Navy and its capabilities that in 2022 they have given the frigate “Hessen” responsibility for all formation air defense and airspace coordination to protect one of their aircraft carrier battle groups.

MQ-9에 대고 미사일을 쐈는데 맞추진 못했다고 하던데, 쏘고 나서 오사인 거 알고 자폭시킨 건지.

슈피겔은 맞추지 못한 것으로 보도하네요.

Fortunately, two missiles fired at the drone missed their target and crashed into the sea due to "a technical defect," according to Der Spiegel news magazine, which also claimed that the UAV in question was a US Reaper reconnaissance drone.

이 뉴스에도 두 발을 쐈는데 빗나갔다고.. 대체 센서나 무장 상태가 어떻길래 무인기를 못 맞추는지 -_-

독일 공영방송 DW(국제방송이라 영어로 운영됩니다) 보도로는 함정의 유도탄 재고가 부족해서 작전지속능력에 문제가 있다고 언급하네요. 구체적 수량이야 부대 안전을 위해서라도 언급하지 않지만... (먼 산)

탄약 떨어지면 도망가는 수 밖에 없지요...
