During the Sea Wolf-II/2025 exercise, Turkey demonstrated the offensive capability of its naval TB-3 drones with the launch of MAM-L missiles from the drone carrier TCG ANADOLU.

In a maneuver considered historic for Turkish naval aviation, two armed unmanned aerial systems (SIHAs) of the TB-3 model, manufactured by Baykar, successfully took off from the aircraft carrier TCG ANADOLU and launched MAM-L missiles produced by ROKETSAN.

The launches were carried out in a coordinated manner: one of the TB-3s used the ASELFLIR-500 electro-optical camera from ASELSAN for target designation and guidance, while the other drone operated with the CATS optical system, also from ASELSAN, reinforcing the interoperability of Turkish sensors.

The video released by authorities shows the exact moment of takeoff and missile launches, highlighting the progress of Turkey's integration program between unmanned aerial vehicles and naval platforms.
