When a drone (unmanned aerial vehicle/system) threatens USS Boxer an intrepid Marine technician drives the jammer-buggy combination around 41,000 ton USS Boxer's large "flat-top" deck. Presumably US super-carriers in the Middle East region are similarly protected by Marine or US Navy driven jammer buggies.
Hence USS Boxer's various kinetic anti-air capable defences (RIM-116, and RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles, 20mm Phalanx CIWS 25 mm and 50 calibre machine guns) were NOT used.
The downed Iranian “drone” (unmanned aerial vehicle/system) that approached within 900 meters of USS Boxer may have been a:
· H-110 Sarir (UAV)
· Shahed 129 or a
Trump on USS Boxer downing the Iranian drone.
