Steve Baldwin, former Royal Marine and veteran of undercover Yemen missions talks on video about his ‘Gate of Tears’ misadventure. Chinese naval forces deployed long range Dong Feng carrier-busting missiles, and a naval fleet to threaten access to the southern entrance to the Red Sea.
Baldwin, 39, claims he was a key player in NATO’s Operation Free Seas in the Gulf of Aden region. ‘Free Seas’ was set up to counter the Chinese threat, and war was only narrowly avoided.
