The U740-Valkyrie, a robotic 'wingman' drone developed through cooperation between Europe's Airbus and the American company Kratos, has completed its first flight. Reports say the autonomous aircraft will operate alongside crewed fighter jets from 2029, running on an independent system. The maiden flight is drawing attention as a step forward for European unmanned combat aviation.

Why now: The first flight of a European autonomous combat drone developed with US firm Kratos is new defense news.
