🇺🇸🤖🇮🇷 U.S. Apache Pilots Rescued By Naval #Drone In Warfare History First: "In a first, a navy surface drone found and rescued two crew members from an army Apache attack helicopter that went down in waters near Oman's coast, the #UnitedStates military told Reuters, and President Donald #Trump said the pilots were "fine." The US military's Central Command said the AH-64 Apache went down at around 03:00 local time on Tuesday (23:00 GMT on Monday) near the coast of Oman while patrolling regional waters. It gave no reason for the crash. The US and #Iran have been in an uneasy ceasefire, with periodic clashes and Iranian drone and missile strikes on US regional allies. The US military said the drone that carried out the rescue was a US Navy Corsair, which manufacturer Saronic says on its website is a 24-foot (7.3-metre) autonomous surface vessel (ASV) capable of carrying up to 1,000 lbs (454 kilograms) over 1,000 nautical miles. "The drone picked them up and transported them to another location on the water where they were hoisted up to a helicopter for further transport," said Navy Captain Tim Hawkins, a Central Command spokesperson. Hawkins said the drone was chosen for the mission due to its proximity and capability. The US Fifth Fleet’s Task Force 59, which operates in the region, is a dedicated unit for integrating unmanned systems and artificial intelligence with everyday maritime operations. Speaking on the runway at John F. Kennedy International Airport before returning to Washington, Trump said there was "nobody injured." US Central Command used more cautious language to describe the condition of the two, saying they were in stable condition. US President Donald Trump later said on social media that Iran had shot down the helicopter and vowed to respond." Via Reuters. 📸: A Corsair vessel, Axios.
