Turkey has launched the TCG Anadolu, the world's first "drone carrier" and its largest warship, which can carry armed drones, helicopters, tanks, and amphibious assault vehicles. The ship was built using local resources and has locally developed weapon and combat management systems. It can transfer a force of at least battalion size and can be used for natural disaster relief missions.
