Iran could potentially reverse-engineer captured US underwater drone — several Iranian embassies mock US over capture, Navy claims lost Anduril vehicle was defective and unclassified

Iran has captured a U.S. Navy Anduril Dive-LD underwater drone, providing Tehran an opportunity to study and potentially reverse-engineer the vessel. While Iranian embassies have mocked the incident, Washington downplays the military value of the loss, with the Navy claiming the vehicle was unclassified and defective. Despite these claims, the event represents a setback for the Pentagon and drone maker Anduril as Iran seeks to analyze the captured American military technology.
