As part of a test flight, the French Navy successfully launched a barrage of ammunition from aboard the frigate Floréal, which acted as an aircraft carrier.

After launch, the ship's crew remotely controlled it, performing a series of complex maneuvers around a simulated moving target.

- explained the developer, the French company FLY–R, which creates drones with a diamond-shaped wing.

R2-120 Raijin

The drone used was not named, however, it was most likely an R2-120 Raijin. This product is easy enough to launch from a ship, as it is placed in a shipping container.

The idea of using drones [from ships] is that they exhaust the enemy's air defenses, tire them out, and then we could use the means of destruction at the most appropriate moment and win.

- the chief of Staff of the Fleet, Admiral Nicholas Vaudzhur, stated back in 2023.

TTX R2-120 Raijin

As indicated in the local newspaper Zone Militaire, this is exactly what Russian troops are doing in Ukraine, delivering massive strikes with inexpensive Geranium barrage ammunition, after which cruise missiles are already involved.

In general, the French Ministry of Defense strives to keep up with the times and catch up by actively cooperating with UAV developers. So, in June, an agreement was signed with 5 leading players in the field of drones – Aura Aero, Daher, Fly-R, SE Aviation and Turgis Gaillard. Starting in 2026, they should start creating MQ–1 Predator class MALE drone demonstrators, Bayraktar TB2, Pacer, etc.
