[US Military Claims First Combat Deployment of Maritime Unmanned Surface Vessels] The US Central Command said on the 13th that the US military deployed maritime unmanned surface vessels (USVs) to strike Iran on the 12th. This marks the first time the US military has deployed USVs in combat. The US Central Command stated on social media that day that the US military used multiple "one-way attack surface unmanned surface vessels" to successfully strike an Iranian submarine and ship repair facility. Three "Pirate" surface unmanned surface vessels struck the port of the Bandar Abbas naval base. The US military post included a 25-second video showing US surface unmanned vessels rushing towards Iranian targets, followed by a violent explosion. (Xinhua)
