Without F-35Bs, Turkey plans to equip TCG Anadolu with UCAVs

President of Turkish Defence Industries, İsmail Demir, revealed that Baykar will be building a new unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) dubbed Bayraktar TB3 for the Turkish Navy’s TCG Anadolu amphibious assault ship.

Haluk Bayraktar, CEO of Baykar, says the development program will take one year.

Between 30 and 50 folding-winged Bayraktar TB3 UCAVs will operate from Anadolu.

Turkey was suppose to field the F-35B on that ship but lost the option after the United States drop Turkey from the F-35 program.
