Iran's IRGC Claims Capture of Anduril-Style Dive-LD Underwater Drone

Iranian IRGC claims to have captured a U.S.-made Dive-LD autonomous underwater vehicle that closely mirrors Anduril's Dive-LD design, with public photos highlighting matching features like the nose cone, flood holes, sail, seams, and rudders. The Dive-LD is a large, long-endurance AUV used for ISR and mine countermeasures and is in U.S. Navy service, while Anduril also builds a larger Dive-XL. If the claim is verified, access to the drone could boost Iran's underwater capabilities and potentially aid its allies, though the evidence remains uncorroborated.
