Türkiye tests naval kamikaze drone 'Albatros'
Türkiye tested its homegrown kamikaze unmanned surface vehicle (USV) Albatros equipped with ammunition in the southern province of Mersin, according to the National Defense Ministry on Monday, Azernews reports, citing Anadolu Agency.
"For the first time in the world, a swarm attack was carried out with the USV-UAV joint operation," the ministry said on X.
Carrying a Roketsan-produced warhead on it, Albatros attacked the target ship.
