Turkish Navy Performs Coordinated UxV Attack during one-of-a-kind Exercise

The Turkish Navy just performed a rare coordinated UxV attack involving an aerial drone and a surface drone: On 4 December 2025, an ASELSAN Albatros-S Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) successfully neutralized a sea target while being remotely controlled through the data link of a Bayraktar TB3 UCAV operating from TCG Anadolu in the Eastern Mediterranean. [...] The test successfully validated the hybrid operation concept in the field. Through the data link systems onboard the Bayraktar TB3 UCAV taking off from TCG Anadolu, remote control was established over the ASELSAN-produced Albatros-S Kamikaze Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). The USV, directed to its target via commands transmitted from the Bayraktar TB3, successfully engaged and neutralized the maritime threat. [...]

As part of the activity carried out off the coast of Antalya, two Bayraktar TB3 UCAVs launched in salvo from the TCG Anadolu for strike missions and reached the designated area. One of the Bayraktar TB3s conducted munitions release on ground targets on the target island using the nationally developed MAM-T and MAM-L smart munitions produced by ROKETSAN, which it carried under its wings. The other Bayraktar TB3 delivered fire on the target with KEMANKEŞ-1 AI-Based Mini Cruise Missiles, developed indigenously by Baykar.

The designated targets were successfully hit during the strikes.
