The Royal Navy has launched strike drones from an aircraft carrier for the first time, flying British-made Nyan one-way drones from HMS Queen Elizabeth in North Atlantic trials. The tests show how uncrewed strike systems could work alongside F-35B jets in a hybrid carrier air wing. Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said the move backs faster innovation. A Tekever AR5 drone also flew from the ship.
