Bayraktar TB3 stands out as Türkiye’s first ship-based unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) capable of taking off and landing from naval platforms with short runways, including the TCG Anadolu. Designed for both reconnaissance and strike missions, this next-generation aircraft introduces a new operational dimension by enabling effective missions over sea and land. Its ability to operate on multiple fronts makes Bayraktar TB3 a versatile and strategic force multiplier.

From a technical perspective, the TB3 features foldable wings, long endurance, and a high payload capacity that supports advanced sensors and smart munitions. With its ability to carry approximately 280 kg of payload, perform long-range missions via beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) communication, and execute precise strikes when necessary, the system stands out among modern UCAV platforms. These capabilities position Bayraktar TB3 as a critical asset within Türkiye’s evolving defense strategy and its role in next-generation warfare.
