Washington: A disaster that comes close to the waves in the sea, about which the enemy comes to know only when the destruction has already occurred. The US Navy has launched its new weapon "Corsair Sea-Drone", into battle for the first time on July 13, 2026. And it made history as soon as it arrived. By targeting Iran's most secure Bandar Abbas Naval Base, this unmanned "Kamikaze USV" showed that now even big warships and submarines are not safe.
In simple terms, it is a suicide drone of the sea. Neither does it have a pilot, nor does it spy. It has only one function – to explode upon impact.
Main features:
1. Silent hunter: It is very small and moves very close to the surface of the water. Due to low height and special design, enemy radar and air defence are unable to detect it.
2. One-way kamikaze attack: Its front part is filled with explosives weighing up to 453 kg. As soon as it finds the target, it hits directly and blows itself up.
3. Expert in Electronic Warfare: It is equipped with advanced GPS anti-jamming and AI cameras. Even if the enemy cuts its signal, it automatically takes aim.

America learned from the Ukraine war. Made for only 35 to 50 thousand dollars, this drone, without putting any American soldier in danger, destroyed Iran's submarine maintenance facility worth millions of dollars. Especially in narrow passages like the Strait of Hormuz, where big ships cannot turn, this drone has become the biggest threat to the enemy navy. Now, along with the era of expensive ships in sea warfare, the era of cheap, fast and silent drones has also started. Is.
