Episode Details

The UK military is considering deploying autonomous drones and mine-hunting gear to secure the Strait of Hormuz, following Irans shutdown of the vital shipping route. The US has requested allies support, and the UK is discussing options with partners. The Royal Navy has systems ready or in development to scan seabeds and safely trigger mines. Interceptor drones, effective against Iranian-style drones, are also under consideration. However, experts caution that these technologies have not been tested in combat and could potentially divert resources from Ukraine. The UK aims to work closely with allies to reopen the strait.
