[Shorts] Spur the launch pad and swoosh!… First launch of attack drone from British aircraft carrier

The Royal Navy announced on the 6th (local time) that the attack drone 'Nyan' took off from the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth during North Atlantic exercises conducted mid-last month.

It is reported that a total of four Nian vehicles were launched, and all of them successfully reached the designated target point.

In this exercise, the Royal Navy also operated the AR5 fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle developed by Portuguese defense company Tekeber from an aircraft carrier for the first time.

“This trial demonstrates that drones used for intelligence gathering, surveillance, targeting and reconnaissance can operate as part of a more integrated combat force alongside strike systems,” the Royal Navy said.
