AUKUS: American torpedo fired for the first time from a British autonomous submarine
London and Washington tested the launch from an unmanned underwater vessel in British waters, an operation hailed by the British government as a breakthrough for Euro-Atlantic security.
A U.S. torpedo was fired for the first time from a self-sustaining British submarine, as part of the AUKUS alliance that brings together Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.
The launch took place last week in British waters, from an unmanned underwater vessel, according to information provided by the authorities.
The British government on Monday described the operation as a "significant breakthrough for Euro-Atlantic security", stressing the cooperation between London and Washington in this area.
