The scale of the EU's Red Sea escort is "big" to a staggering one!
Denmark: Send 1 soldier.
Czech Republic: Send 2 soldiers.
Sweden: Send 4 soldiers.
A few days ago, EU President von der Leyen von der Leyen swore that the EU would participate in the Red Sea escort, which involved the Red Sea, the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea!
Boy! Now a country is sending 2 4 soldiers! If this continues, the 27 countries of the European Union will only be able to send about 100 soldiers!
The Red Sea has 450,000 square kilometers and the Gulf of Oman is 1810,000 square kilometers, the Arabian Sea has 3.86 million square kilometers of sea area, and the three sea areas add up to 44910,000 square kilometers of sea!
Only about 100 EU soldiers are sent, and each soldier needs to defend an average of 4490,000 square kilometers of sea!
The entire country of Sweden is only 44990,000 square kilometers, that is, a sea area of Sweden, with only 10 soldiers escorting!
This ** is an escort, this is simply looking for a needle in a haystack!
Moreover, the EU also said that the budget ceiling for the first year of this Red Sea escort is only 8 million euros, and these 100 soldiers will be paid!
The scale of the EU's escort in the Red Sea this time is simply too "huge"!
