Zitat:CMF seizes $ 8 m drugs in Arabian Seahttps://www.naval-technology.com/news/cm...a/?cf-view
The French-led Combined Task Force 150 (CTF 150) is one of five task forces under the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), the world’s largest multinational naval partnership, and focuses on maritime security operations.
AUS Sentinel-class fast response cutter, within the French-led CTF 150 of the CMF, seized $8.1m worth of illegal narcotics. While all eyes are fixed on the conflict in the Levant, where regional militant groups are challenging the security of commercial shipping, nearby in the Arabian Sea the CMF continue to “promote the security and stability” of the US-led ‘rules-based order’ that is currently under fire.
The fast response cutter USCGC Emlen Tunnell (WPC 1145) seized 173 kilogrammes of methamphetamines following a search. The servicepeople properly disposed of the drugs and released the vessel. [...] During France’s tenure, more than 16 tonens of illegal narcotics with a street value of over $600m were seized and disposed, preventing criminal and terrorist organisations generating income from drug smuggling.
