Reuters reports that the US Army deployed suicide unmanned surface vessels (USVs) for the first time during the recent wave of strikes on Iran. The report confirms a development that had been previously indicated by other sources, marking a new phase in the use of unmanned systems in the conflict.
Reuters reported on Monday that the US Army employed suicide unmanned surface vessels (USVs) for the first time in its recent strikes on Iran. The use of such vessels, described as kamikaze drones, marks a new tactical dimension in the US campaign. The Zioneer has previously reported on the US strikes on Iran, including the deployment of one-way attack sea drones by CENTCOM. The current report from Reuters is the first major news agency confirmation of the use of such vessels. The details of the strikes, including the number of USVs used and their targets, have not been disclosed. The report comes amid ongoing US operations against Iranian military infrastructure.
