Aircraft carriers are expensive to run and have few jets. This makes it risky and hard to keep a constant eye on the sea for a long time or send pilots into dangerous zones for simple patrols. Italy is the first in Europe to use the Turkish TB-3 drone. These drones have folding wings to fit on ships and can fly for over 24 hours without a pilot. This keeps sailors safe, cuts costs, and protects trade routes and sea borders for everyone.
