This guy is most likely a leftist. Socotra is a great place for a base. The Horn of Africa and on into the Red Sea has been a long running piracy and terrorist threat area. A great place to operate predators out of for early warning and kinetic protection of the commercial shipping. We operated out of Oman before the Gulf War. But it is a little remote and not without its restrictions.
Someone gotta stop the pirates..
I guess it isn't a secret now.
Why Socotra? There are plenty of other island and airfields they can (and probably are) using.
The Kuria Maria islands, the airbase at Salalah in Dhofar Oman, and another in the empty quarter at Thumrait.

Am I indeed? I operated out of Oman before the war there came to an end, what war was that?
And what makes you think I am a guy? Or a left winger for that matter.....
Sorry for the confusion. I was talking about the guy in the video clip.
Half our guys were temporarily in Oman before moving up to Al-Kharj before the first Gulf War.
No sweat, take care in these troubled times Fren.
