Developed by ROKETSAN with domestic and national capabilities, the AKYA Heavy Class Warfare Torpedo will be an important milestone for the Turkish Naval Forces. The serial production of these torpedoes, which were produced in line with the needs of the Turkish Naval Forces Command and were shot tested last year, has finally started.
ROKETSAN and the Turkish Naval Forces start serial production of the AKYA torpedo
The successful performance of the AKYA torpedo in the Eastern Mediterranean warfare firing carried out by the TCG PREVEZE Submarine last year proved the effectiveness of our indigenous technology in the field.
The AKYA Heavy Class Warfare Torpedo has the capability to sink a target ship with a direct hit from a distance of 12,000 yards. This will have a major impact on Turkey’s maritime security and increase its national defense capacity. The mass production of AKYA, which is a completely domestic production, is seen as a factor that will increase Turkey’s independence and security in the defense industry.
The effectiveness of the AKYA torpedo in the field will be an important element of Turkey’s Blue Homeland strategy. These torpedoes, which strengthen Turkey’s presence at sea with their technological capabilities, also contribute positively to the regional balance.
ROKETSAN’s successful initiative also reflects Turkey’s confidence in and support for the domestic defense industry. This move, which demonstrates the country’s determination to meet its defense needs and make technological progress, is considered an important step towards strengthening Turkey’s defense capacity.
