Everything We Know About The U.S. Navy’s Submersible Drone Iran Just Captured

- Iran fished a U.S. Navy Dive-LD out of the Strait of Hormuz — a 19-foot, three-ton autonomous submersible built by Anduril, and the first confirmed operational loss of the type. Victory is mine! Because losing it was the plan: "attritable" means it was designed to be risked so warfighters aren't. Tehran's hoisting footage is real; U.S. officials claim the vehicle malfunctioned, was an "older model," and carried no classified sonar or radar. Course of action — action: the Navy fielded these in April 2025 for mine-hunting missions in the Strait, thousands of operational hours logged via UUVGRU-1. Iran gets a hull; we keep the doctrine. Victory is near because I've already started the speech.
