This is coolbert:

Thailand an aircraft carrier? Thailand? Surely does the Thai navy have an aircraft carrier. You learn something new every day.

Thai aircraft carrier now having a eVTOL drone capability. Strictly at this stage of the game only for over-the-horizon reconnaissance. Thanks for the input from www.navalnews.com

eVTOL = Electric powered vertical take-off and landing.

VTOL but fixed wing. Not a quadcopter. See the wiki entry quadcopter. More than anything else watch the video to see how the UAV is assembled and launched.

See the You Tube video:



"MARCUS-B is powered by a 60 Ah battery, allowing it to fly for around two hours. It can be used on large navy ships such as frigates, amphibious assault ships, and carriers."

Combat UAV a multitude as carried in the internals of the carrier in a swarm mode of attack creating for the defender an insuperable problem. Very cost efficient too. I think it is intuitive and easily imagined that many units can be purchased just for the cost of a single F-35B.
