The United States Must Respond to This Attack

I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.

“The unmanned surface vessel, a Saronic Corsair, located the crew, who had spent two hours in the waters off the coast of Oman and brought them to shore.”

Never been prouder of the @Saronic team. 🇺🇸💪🚀 pic.twitter.com/aOci6sgITK

Two US aviators went down near the Strait of Hormuz. DoW used an autonomous @Saronic Corsair to find and bring them home - the 1st drone rescue at sea in military history.

This is why we build: to keep our troops safe. This was science fiction. American builders made it real 🇺🇸.
