Selçuk Bayraktar, the pioneer behind Türkiye’s drone revolution, met with young people aboard the TCG Anadolu aircraft carrier during the Victory Journey event. In his inspiring speech, Bayraktar emphasized the importance of national maritime aviation, technological independence, and the future of Turkey’s defense industry.
The Bayraktar TB-3, the world’s first UAV capable of taking off and landing on a short-runway ship, has successfully completed 170 test flights — proving Türkiye’s ability to achieve what even superpowers have not. This milestone marks a new chapter in naval aviation history and highlights Turkey’s vision for full independence in defense technology.
Join us as we look at how Bayraktar TB-3 is shaping the future of maritime UAVs, the role of TCG Anadolu in Turkey’s naval power, and the inspiration given to the younger generation to dream big and push boundaries.
