Emmanuel Macron then hit back and sent two French Navy patrol boats - despite one being less than half of the size of each of the Royal Navy gunships.

The Senior NATO Commander added that the two Navy warships will aim to restrain and de-escalate the situation but will “use firm action to make sure nobody is harmed” if necessary.
