UK's Royal Navy buys £13m mine-blasting robot boat

Voland's right hand Silver badge

Why do we need this expensive follies when we can just send out pot smokers and their ilk in a rowing boat ?

That folly costs significantly less than a modern minesweeper, costs less to operate and nobody dies if things go wrong as they quite often do around large explosive objects.

First time I see RN buy something useful. Probably someone had the wrong drugs by mistake.
