Users praised the Saronic Corsair unmanned vessel for rescuing a downed US Apache crew in dangerous waters with no risk to human lives, while others expressed anger at Iran or questioned US naval reach in the region.
A Saronic Corsair unmanned surface vessel rescued the Army AH-64 Apache crew after they crashed near the Strait of Hormuz in the waters of Oman yesterday, the first-ever rescue of downed aircrew by a drone boat -WSJ
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 🇺🇸.
According to the Washington Post’s @DanLamothe, the U.S. Navy drone that aided in the rescue of two U.S. Apache helicopter crew members was a Saronic Technologies Corsair unmanned surface vessel (USV). First deployed in the U.S. Central Command AOR in March of this year, the USV reportedly picked up the two soldiers and then took them to a secondary location where a waiting helicopter hoisted them up. Such a rescue would be the first time that such a system was used in this role.

Never been prouder of the @Saronic team. 🇺🇸💪🚀
This was an absolutely massive win for @Saronic
And by extension the broader US Defense Tech Ecosystem
And also the American Warfighter
I’m not an investor in Saronic but believe in giving praise when it’s due
Bravo 👏
Go @Saronic 🛥️🇺🇸
Amazing!

American Dynamism at its best.
@Saronic is remarkable.
Autonomous surface vessels rescued two Americans last night. 🇺🇸
Sketched this up as we were founding it. Amazing.

Incredibly cool to hear about the involvement of @Saronic's Corsair unmanned surface vessel in the search & rescue operation for the downed Apache crew in the Strait of Hormuz.
This is the way.

It took under 2 years to go from prototype to scaled production to lives saved in the news.
Deployments will continue to ramp, and ASVs will become a cornerstone of the US Navy.
I am incredibly proud of my time working on Corsair and of the @Saronic team’s continued progress.

@JTLonsdale @Saronic Congrats Joe, a mega win for you and the team.
@sentdefender @DanLamothe Iran shot down that helicopter in defense of their national security. We know that the US has attacked Iran more than once. So yes, Iran saw that helicopter as a threat. A response will be met with an equivalent from Iran. He must stop flying helicopters in the Strait of Hormuz
