TCG Anadolu ship, one of the biggest projects of the Turkish defense industry, was officially delivered to the Naval Forces Command.
TCG Anadolu Amphibious Assault Landing Ship, a step that may directly affect the next 50 years for Mavi Vatan, was officially delivered to the Naval Forces Command after the ceremony held in Türkiye's Tuzla.
At TCG Anadolu, the testing process of many different systems has been going on for a long time.
Although the ship has passed to the relevant force command, it is known that some critical tests will continue.
Chief among these are the studies to be carried out on platforms such as Kızılelma, Hürjet, Bayraktar TB-3 that will take part in TCG Anadolu.
Issues such as how these platforms will land/take off from the ship and what external systems they will need are still a matter of curiosity.
Apart from the ship and the platforms on it, there is another important development that needs to be talked about. The Kemankeş missile, which Head of Baykar Board of Directors Selçuk Bayraktar mentioned concretely for the first time at the delivery ceremony.
Kemankeş missile, about which Selçuk Bayraktar said they continue to work on and will be showcased for the first time at Teknofest, is perhaps one of the most interesting details of the TCG Anadolu ceremony.
One of the experts and researchers on Defence Industry, Kadir Doğan, said about the missile "Perhaps it is one of the most special ammunition in this class ever developed in Türkiye."
"The main reason for this is that the TB-3 has less payload capacity than larger platforms such as Akıncı, Aksungur, Kızılelma and ANKA-3.
In general, TB-2 uses light but effective ammunition in the 20kg band, such as MAM-L, MAM-C and Bozok.
In sea conditions, however, the situation is quite different. Because although the effect of these light ammunitions is high on land platforms, it is very small for ships.
For this reason, there is a need for systems with a higher capacity, which will create intense firepower and at the same time provide engagement at long ranges.
As we understand from Selçuk Bayraktar's statements, Kemankeş is a long-range, highly destructive and light ammunition. It is also important that this is developed by Baykar, which also shows us the ability of Baykar.
