What happens when a US fighter jet is running low on fuel far from its aircraft carrier? Enter the MQ-25 Stingray – the US Navy’s first carrier-based uncrewed aerial refuelling aircraft. 🐝✈️
Designed to refuel fighter jets in mid-air, the Stingray could keep valuable combat aircraft in the fight instead of using them as tanker aircraft.
With operational capability expected by 2029, the MQ-25 will also have intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.
BFBS Forces News takes an in-depth look at the Stingray, its capabilities and how this drone could change the way US aircraft carriers operate.
