During the DENİZKURDU-I/2025 Exercise, Bayraktar TB3 UCAVs launched from TCG Anadolu and the AKINCI UCAV flying from Northern Cyprus destroyed all designated targets with different munitions. Türkiye showcased its air–naval operational power in the Blue Homeland.

The Turkish Navy’s Anadolu Task Group, centered around flagship TCG Anadolu, is taking part in NATO’s “Neptune Strike 25.3” exercise in the Adriatic Sea, conducting amphibious, submarine defense, and joint operational drills alongside 44 allied units.

Türkiye is entering a new phase where naval and air assets operate in full coordination. With TCG Anadolu, TB-3, KIZILELMA, ANKA-3, and GÖKBEY, its capabilities are rapidly expanding.

The final day of TEKNOFEST 2025 Blue Homeland draws thousands to Istanbul Shipyard Command, where visitors lined up to tour Türkiye’s largest warship, TCG Anadolu.

Bayraktar TB-3 continues intensive sea-based trials from TCG Anadolu and recently guided a kamikaze USV to a pinpoint hit—experts say international interest is accelerating.

Developed by MKE, the PİRANA kamikaze unmanned surface vehicle, controlled in integration with Bayraktar TB3 from TCG ANADOLU, successfully hit its target, marking a new strike capability for the Turkish Navy.

Bayraktar TB3 UCAV completed 100 successful sorties aboard Türkiye’s flagship TCG Anadolu. The latest trials featured AI-assisted, fully autonomous takeoff and landing systems, marking a new milestone in naval aviation history.

Experts say Turkey has officially entered a “golden age” in naval aviation as the Bayraktar TB-3 successfully conducts takeoff and landing tests on the TCG Anadolu and the KIZILELMA UCAV prepares to follow. This shift enables the Turkish Navy to conduct extended operations without dependence on land-based airfields.
