Turkiye’s Indigenous Torpedo Akya is Operational
Turkiye’s first indigenous heavy-weight torpedo, Akya, is now operational after its test launch with a live warhead.
Turkish Defence Ministry announced last week that the fire tests would occur on December 26th. The tests were postponed for a day and took place on the 27th. The Ministry announced on social media that an Akya heavy-weight torpedo was launched from the TCG Preveze (S-353) submarine. The Ministry stated that Akya hit the target vessel (ex-TCG Gazal, ex-USS Sioux) and destroyed it. This statement and a photo with the “Akya harp” notice mark that the torpedo had a live warhead. “Harp” is a Turkish word for “war”.
