Turkish Navy's fourth Ada-class corvette, TCG KINALIADA, carried out the final test-firing of the Roketsan-made Atmaca anti-ship missile on June 19th in the Black Sea.
=====================
In this sinking exercise (SINKEX), the missile sunk the decommissioned research vessel ISIN (a former US Navy Diver-class rescue and salvage ship ). Atmaca hit the ship from the starboard side after a sea-skimming flight with an altitude between 1 and 1.5 meters. This test-firing was the final qualification test. The program can now move to mass production.
Following the event, Turkey’s President officially announced the commissioning of the missile into Turkish Navy service.
Another critical issue of the event is the role of Turkey’s first armed USV known as ULAQ. ULAQ was positioned approximately 5 km from the target ship. As you can see in this footage captured by the USV, it monitored the launch and recorded the impact on the target and the explosion from a close distance.
