Drones provide Singapore Navy with realistic training opportunity
The Republic of Singapore Navy missile corvette RSS Vengeance launches two BARAK missiles and shot down two BQM-74E aerial drones launched from the deck of USS Tortuga yesterday.



This is the first time two drones were engaged simultaneously. Both targets flew at 450 knots and drone one flew at 1,200 feet to simulate an aircraft. The second drone dropped down to 30 feet to simulate a sea-skimming air to surface missile.
