Although managing to shoot down 4 Houthi drones, Danish frigate HDMS Iver Huitfeldt was unable to fire ESSM missiles at times while in action in the Red Sea due to integration issue with Dutch APAR radar and Danish C-FLEX Combat Management System. 76mm shells also exploded prematurely when fired. The ship is returning home sooner than expected.
