The Yemeni Armed Forces published photos and video footage of the “Toofan-1” (Flood) drone boat that was used to sink the “Tutor” freight ship last week.
The Toofan-1 drone boat is locally-manufactured and carries a warhead weighing 150 kg. It is distinguished by its high speed, manoeuvrability and stealth capability.
It reached a speed of 35 knots and specializes in targeting fixed and moving nearby maritime targets.
The Toofan-1 drone boat represents a qualitative step in the local weapons industry, showcasing advanced capabilities within the navy’s development of sophisticated weaponry.
It greatly improves naval capabilities and acts as a powerful deterrent against any enemy trying to provoke aggression in territorial waters.
