Why did the Danish Navy choose a camo pattern for one of their uniforms?
Is it just a tradition thing or are Danish sailors expected to also operate on land?
Why are they wearing those masks? Burn protection?
Funny thing is that right now this is blowing up in Danish media because the frigates weapon systems and radar apparently failed and ammunition exploded unintentionally before hitting the target. Decades of cutting costs in the Danish military has led to gaping holes in our national defence, malfunctioning equipment and baracks that are falling apart.
It has just been leaked, that the radar was off for 30min due to a known technical issue doing the incident. The ammo used for the anti air guns were 30y old and half of them exploded halfway to the target.
It seems like a political scandal is under its way, because of this incident.

How to know how your enemy will reacting on the field without being involved. Send some Houthi and let’s see what happens. Nobody will care about them and you will have exactly what you need after to play the real game. All I see now is Russia and china sending them pawns.
Good work, sailors! The Danes are strong.
Danish sounds kinda awesome when shouting orders
The Houthi are basically supplying the best training regiment the world navies could ask for.
Godt drenge!!
That the west allows this circus, is beyond me. Bomb them to the stone age.
Sea Sparrow RIM7 – unit cost: 165.000$
Houthi Drone – unit cost: trip to home depot
Do they regard this as an exercise or why do they not engage with e.g CWIS? Burst of that would be much more cost effective.
u/savevideobot
Just saw the French Frigates chose to use more often an helicopter with a HMG ( with really good success) instead of using expensive missiles.
The Danish had to use their missiles to replenish their stock maybe? Good training in any case.
