Turkey could become the first country to develop an aircraft carrier specifically designed for drone

The Turkish Navy will soon receive TCG Anadolu – a landing helicopter dock (LHD) vessel. The vessel was previously classified as an aircraft carrier by the press.

The ship will be able to carry combat helicopters on its landing deck asTurkey does not currently operate a plane that can take off from the vessel. The Bayraktar TB3 VTOL combat drone, with its folding-wing design, could deploy from the short naval runways.

Turkey will also start the construction of a prototype of a domestic assault boat project, namely the Fast Attack Craft (FAC-55) in 2022. The FAC-55 is a monohull vessel equipped with a gas turbine propulsion system that has been designed to perform sea warfare and patrol duties on the open waters in challenging weather conditions.
