President Mohammed Muizzu, speaking at the inauguration of the Air Corps of the Maldivian Army in N.Maafaru, said his administration will bring in more drones and double Coast Guard capacity within five years. Three Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones and the Ras'ain mobile application were launched at the event.
One outlet so far Only Atoll Times has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
The "Ras'ain'' mobile application aimed at assisting efforts to keep travellers and fishing vessels safe was also launched on Friday evening, and will allow fishermen to find popular fishing spots, schools of fishes and make full use of the Maldivian EEZ

“What I want to announce here is that the capacity of the current Coast Guard will hopefully be doubled by the end of these five years,”
“Hopefully within this year, capacity for the hydrography work will be established within the MNDF and we will start doing it ourselves”.
“Today, hopefully, we will be able to take care of our own territory and our independence will be assured,”
“We saw three UAVs here, but hopefully it will be much more thanks to our closeness to him [Erdogan] and [the extent to which] our military strengthens,”
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
Noting that Maldives has a large sea territory of over 900,000 square kilometres, the President said that the territory can be best utilised if it is monitored by ourselves.
