The United Kingdom has announced plans to deploy drones, Typhoon fighter jets, and Royal Navy warships as part of a multinational military mission to ensure security in the Strait of Hormuz. The UK Ministry of Defence stated on Tuesday, May 12, that the decision followed a virtual meeting involving defense ministers and representatives from more than 40 countries. The mission will include automated mine detection systems, drone defense technology, and specialized mine clearance teams.
The initiative will receive funding of approximately £115 million (about $152 million). It will utilize the Royal Navy’s modular “Beehive” system and autonomous “Kraken” drone vessels designed to detect and respond to maritime threats. The destroyer HMS Dragon has already departed for the Middle East after additional training, equipped with the advanced Sea Viper air defense system. Eurofighter Typhoon jets stationed in the region will also be prepared for aerial patrols over strategic waterways.
UK Defence Secretary John Healey said the mission aims to restore confidence in maritime security and commercial navigation in the Hormuz Strait, describing it as a defensive and cooperative international effort.
