As part of preparatory flights for the Denizkurdu-2025 (Seawolf-2025) exercises set for May 14, the PT-3 and PT-4 prototypes of Bayraktar TB3 combat drone were transferred to the TCG Anadolu. During the drills, the Bayraktar TB3 drones will carry out live-fire strikes against ground targets using MAM-L missiles.

All takeoffs and landings were carried out fully autonomously using mission algorithms developed by Baykar based on artificial intelligence.
