JAKARTA - The British Royal Navy will have six hybrid warships capable of launching both unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and underwater drones.

As reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Monday, June 29, the ship will be the first fleet with multi-capabilities for the Royal Navy, and is scheduled to begin being accepted by the kingdom's navy in the early 2030s. The plan is planned to be announced next week.

The British government is said to prioritize the development of hybrid ships and plans to cancel the construction of eight Type 83 destroyers and five Type 32 frigates.

The move reflects a shift in strategy toward greater reliance on UAVs over traditional military hardware.

The Times last week reported that the British government had canceled plans to replace some of its aging naval vessels in order to allocate funding for unmanned systems within the framework of the Defense Investment Plan.
