UK Navy First Comabt use CAMM/Sea Ceptor Air Defence Missiles to Takes Down Drones in Red Sea

Defense News ,Red Sea :-  On March 9, the UK Ministry of Defence shared exciting news about the Royal Navy's ship, HMS Richmond. It used a powerful air defense system, called Sea Ceptor, to destroy two flying robots (UAVs) in the Red Sea. This is the first time they used the Common Anti-Air Modular Missile (CAMM) in a real battle.

HMS Richmond was part of a team of ships from different countries. While sailing in the Red Sea, it faced a threat from attack drones sent by a group called Houthi rebels. Thanks to the Sea Ceptor missile system, the ship successfully stopped two of these flying threats. This event shows how well the new air defense technology works.

The Ministry of Defence made sure to share videos and pictures of this event to show how important it was. The attack happened at a close distance, and the UK wants to make it clear that they are actively protecting innocent people and keeping the world economy stable.

Originally, HMS Richmond was sent to the Red Sea to replace another ship, HMS Diamond, which had to go back to Gibraltar for repairs after two months of work. Now, HMS Diamond is back in action, joining the mission to make sure the region stays safe.

The Sea Ceptor system, made by a company called MBDA, is a big step forward in protecting against air threats. It can work in any weather and defend against many different flying dangers, like advanced fighter planes and really fast anti-ship missiles. The Royal Navy is putting this system on their Type 23 ships and will also use it on the upcoming Type 26 frigates. It's a crucial part of their plan to keep the fleet safe from air attacks.
