Portuguese navy’s drone launch ends in embarrassing fail
The Portuguese navy unveiled its new state-of-the-art surveillance drone this week, but things didn’t exactly go to plan.
It was launched in front of the nation’s media and Portugal’s defence minister at a Lisbon naval base, with disastrous results.
But he was made to look a bit foolish when it ditched into the harbour within seconds.
Afterwards, the embarrassed minister told the press: ‘This explains why it is always necessary to invest a lot in training at the right time so that the tasks do not fail.’
