Ankara - Saba:
The Turkish Ministry of Defense announced on Wednesday the successful launch of the domestically produced "Atmaca" anti-ship missile from a submarine, an achievement that enhances the country's naval capabilities.

The ministry posted clips of the launch of the missile on its X platform account, which was developed by the Turkish company Roketsan with local expertise.

Haluk Görgün, head of the Turkish Defense Industries Presidency, explained that the "Atmaca" missile will now be able to hit its targets from underwater, placing Turkey among the few countries with the capability to launch guided missiles from submarines.

The "Atmaca" is considered Turkey's first naval cruise missile, with a range exceeding 220 km. With this missile entering service with the Turkish military, the army will stop using the American "Harpoon" missiles.
