Recently, a joke-ridden incident occurred on the Red Sea, when a German ** ship fired missiles at a US drone in the sky above it, but none of them hit. This makes people sigh that it turns out that between Europeans and the United States, there is a lack of even the ability to identify a drone.
The frigate "Hesse" saw a drone flying over the Red Sea, and was at a loss for a moment, so it aimed at the target and fired two missiles. Dramatically, however, both missiles failed, and none of them hit the target. It's a ridiculous mistake.
The German side said that they were unable to confirm the nationality of the drone. But it seems to me that the German missiles actually failed en masse, and it is very likely that the so-called "special systems" equipped by the United States for the allies played a role, automatically identifying American equipment and avoiding accidental damage to friendly forces.
The incident exposed the resistance of European countries to military action. The EU drew a line with Britain and the United States during its Red Sea operation to avoid conflict with the US military. This shows that European countries are cautious about cooperation with the United States, and there are obvious problems in communication and trust between them.
The United States is trying to draw European countries into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but Europeans know this well after the lessons of the previous Russia-Ukraine conflict. European countries are reluctant to follow in the footsteps of the United States again and suffer unnecessary economic and social shocks.
In the military operations of European countries in the Red Sea, there are obvious problems such as insufficient technological level and depletion of military reserves. Collaboration and trust between its own people have been flawed, making Europe's role in global affairs even more awkward.
For Russia, this oolong incident can be described as good news. Germany's actions in the Red Sea, which may have an impact on the situation in the Middle East in the future, deserve close attention.
The misshooting incident on the Red Sea revealed the dilemmas and divisions of European countries in military operations. The United States tried to draw Europe into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but the Europeans kept a clear head and did not want to get into a senseless predicament.
