00:04.197 --> 00:07.197
(medium tempo rock)

00:24.863 --> 00:28.214
^- The Royal Danish Air Force has flown 193 missions

00:28.214 --> 00:31.714
^and 1,116 hours in Operation Ocean Shield.

00:43.370 --> 00:47.537
We're now established along the east coast of Africa.

00:47.578 --> 00:51.745
We're patrolling the coastline, looking for suspicious camps

00:52.262 --> 00:54.429
or any boats in the water.

01:01.501 --> 01:02.642
^- Previously, there was a lot

01:02.642 --> 01:05.183
^of piracy activity along the coastline.

01:05.183 --> 01:07.615
^There was a lot of captured vessels,

01:07.615 --> 01:11.081
^and there was a lot of things going on at that time.

01:11.081 --> 01:13.240
Today, the picture has very much changed.

01:13.240 --> 01:15.308
There's, ah, you can largely see

01:15.308 --> 01:16.913
that there's not this kind of activity anymore.

01:16.913 --> 01:18.803
The patterns have changed a lot since we start here,

01:18.803 --> 01:21.470
in the beginning of the mission.

01:24.401 --> 01:25.994
- Well, we're just a piece of the puzzle,

01:25.994 --> 01:28.734
and NATO cooperates with EU, who's here

01:28.734 --> 01:30.468
and has been here for a long time.

01:30.468 --> 01:33.718
And with some of the other task forces.

01:33.929 --> 01:37.512
And we do exchange, of course, information.

01:39.796 --> 01:42.437
We have a radar fitted underneath the aircraft.

01:42.437 --> 01:45.241
We have an optical sensor, forward-looking infrared,

01:45.241 --> 01:49.408
that we can use to locate stuff in darkness, as well.

01:49.723 --> 01:52.723
(medium tempo rock)

01:56.039 --> 01:58.241
- We're hoping, even though there was the recent wave,

01:58.241 --> 02:01.915
^we are ending piracy, so they assist us in training.

02:01.915 --> 02:03.494
^With the Seychelles Coast Guard

02:03.494 --> 02:04.924
^and the Seychelles People's Air Force.

02:04.924 --> 02:06.816
So we have given a great step to assist

02:06.816 --> 02:09.796
in continuing the security of the Seychelles territory

02:09.796 --> 02:11.859
and it's sad for them to go back,

02:11.859 --> 02:13.436
but we are looking forward to continuing to working

02:13.436 --> 02:16.269
with good intention to the future.

02:23.567 --> 02:27.712
- We are capable of resuming the mission at any time.

02:27.712 --> 02:29.803
Whether we do it over the Indian Ocean

02:29.803 --> 02:31.717
or we do it over the North Atlantic,

02:31.717 --> 02:34.134
it's for us, not a big issue.

02:34.388 --> 02:38.555
It's been an honor and a privilege to work for NATO.

02:38.842 --> 02:42.545
The presence of NATO here, definitely has helped solve

02:42.545 --> 02:45.962
the issue of piracy here in Somali basin.
