The "alien" in NATO Turkey has now played a new trick on the aircraft carrier, with a displacement of 30,000 tons. The largest warship in the Black Sea Anadolu, as the world's first unmanned ship The advent of the unmanned aircraft carrier, and its unique take-off and landing methods were exposed, which is one step faster than that of China and the United States. It means that the era of unmanned aerial vehicle carriers is finally about to unveil its mystery. So what is the mysterious special feature of this aircraft carrier? After being equipped with unmanned aerial vehicles, What is the combat capability of an aircraft carrier?

The Turkish Navy's "Anadolu" light aircraft carrier conducted its second sea trial. The aircraft carrier conducted a technical voyage. According to Turkey's plan, it will carry the TB3 drone, a series of drones , has participated in many actual combats and achieved extraordinary achievements. In the Russia-Ukraine war, the conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, and the Syrian war , this series of UAVs have withstood the test of actual combat many times. Turkey believes that aircraft carriers carrying unmanned aerial vehicles After the aircraft is installed, it will gain combat advantages against the sea and the enemy. It is expected to enter service in October this year.

As a country with a small land area, Turkey’s geographical location is very important. It spans Europe and Asia and is the crossroads connecting the Eurasian continent. Therefore, Turkey hopes to have it, which is as important as its own strategic position. Turkey's military strength, judging from the strength of its shipbuilding industry, Turkey is the fifth largest shipbuilding country in the world and has a very good shipbuilding industry. The Turkish aircraft carrier was built on the basis of the Spanish amphibious assault ship. Turkey has also dismantled three British ships before. Retired aircraft carrier and have a certain understanding of aircraft carriers.
After Turkey has an aircraft carrier, it has absolute say in the relevant waters, but the issue of carrier-based aircraft has given Turkey a very headache. Before the Syrian War, Turkey was one of the members of NATO and one of the participants in the research and development of the F35 fighter . First, there are qualifications to purchase and use F35 series fighter jets. However, because Turkey purchased the Russian S400 long-range air defense missile system, the relationship between the United States and Turkey broke down, resulting in the United States imposing sanctions on Turkey and canceling the qualification to purchase F35.

. For a time, the Turkish aircraft carrier reached a situation where no aircraft was available. The aircraft carrier did not have carrier-based aircraft and was equivalent to scrap metal. Since the Anadolu was not equipped with the catapult , it could only take off and land at short distances/ There are two models available for vertical takeoff carrier-based aircraft, namely AV8B and F35B. AV8B is very old and the same models on the market are all second-hand. Turkey does not like them at all. Although F35B is very advanced, The United States has canceled its purchase qualifications, so Turkey chose to use drones directly as carrier-based aircraft. The
TB3 UAV was first developed by Turkey and is expected to be deployed in the army in 2023. This UAV has lower requirements for takeoff and landing, but the aircraft size is larger than the TB2. The highlight is that it can be remotely controlled by satellite, so it is unmanned The combat radius of the aircraft has been expanded. The combat technical indicators of this drone will comprehensively exceed that of the TB2 drone. It will enable the aircraft carrier to have sea and ground strike capabilities and become a strategic delivery ship. In general, Turkey It pioneered the use of drone aircraft carriers and will become a model for future generations.
