Flew from Yemen: Unknown drone tried to attack US destroyer in the Red Sea

Carney vessel detection systems promptly identified a threat, but journalists do not specify from which weapons were destroyed. At the time of attack, the destroyer accompanied ships with military cargo. In the Red Sea, the US Navy has shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle, which probably headed from Yemen to Israel. About it reports Reuters. Pentagon representatives, without revealing their person, reported that the destroyer "Karney" knocked down an unmanned unmanned aircraft.

According to sources, the drone was launched from Yemen. There was no information about who could be responsible for launching the drone. According to the data, the system of detection of the American destroyer successfully discovered the drone. However, the type of weapons used, which has been shot down, remains unknown.

"Although his intentions are unknown, the UAV was heading to a warship," they said in the department, adding that at that time "Karney" accompanied two ships, one of which visited military equipment to the region. The statement states that no one was injured among American staff. It should be noted that the Karney destroyer in the framework of international maritime exercises Sea Breeze 2019 attended Odessa.

Recall that the US Navy successfully tested the latest Flexrotor drone, developed by Aerovel. And Hevendrones has introduced two new models of unmanned aerial vehicles on hydrogen fuel - H2D200 and H2D250. In November 2022, GKN Aerospace from Sweden presented an unusual unmanned aerial vehicle operating in liquid water. The developers have tested the power plant that burns hydrogen and produces electricity. She withstood heavy loads.
