FLYRT decoy drone
- ... that the United States Navy tested a Flyrt (pictured) for distracting radars from its ships?
Source: "Flyrt is a small, unmanned aircraft developed by the Naval Research Laboratory that can be launched from a NATO-standard chaff launcher as a decoy to protect ships from radar-guided missiles." [1]

The Bushranger New, in time, long enough, sourced, inline hook citation checks out, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. Is it pronounced "flirt"? Would have thought fly-ert but for your mention of wordplay. --Usernameunique (talk) 09:23, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
- It was/is indeed acronymed to "Flirt". - The Bushranger One ping only 09:25, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
