ROBOTIC EARS IN THE SKY: BAYRAKTAR TB3
According to the news, the foldable-winged maritime UAV Bayraktar TB3, which took off from the TCG Anatolian amphibious assault ship, can decipher underwater sound frequencies in real time while still in the air, turning into a "flying acoustic laboratory" on its own.
Thus, Türkiye carried its UAV revolution against tanks on land to the seas and established a low-cost and highly effective detection network against billion-dollar giant strategic submarines.
THE STUNNING POWER OF DOMESTIC WEAPONS
So, if TB3 is not attacking directly, why does this test worry naval commanders in the region? According to Israeli analysts, the answer is extremely clear: Turkish Doctrine. TB3 acts as an inexpensive sensor that stays in the air for days and monitors the submarine uninterruptedly. Once a suspicious submarine signal is received, the data is transferred to manned patrol aircraft, submarines and warships within seconds. According to the news, the lethal power at the edge of the system consists of heavy weapons produced by Türkiye with domestic resources.
While one of these, the AKYA heavy torpedo, proves to have a destructive power that can split target ships in half from their keel, the ATMACA missile flies very close to the sea surface, making radar detection impossible.
