A driver stuck in the stream bed with his vehicle while crossing the Deliçay river in Mersin, Turkey, and asked for help from the firefighter and police teams. The firefighters, who were sent to the region upon the notice, started working to save the vehicle that was stuck in the water. Meanwhile, the driver, who was at the front of the vehicle to help the teams, fell into the water. Trying to get out of the water, the man was then dragged into the water pipes with the current. The man, who survived the danger of drowning, got on a shallow area after being dragged for a while. The vehicle was towed and rescued by firefighters.
Türkiye successfully deployed two Bayraktar TB3 armed drones on its flagship vessel, TCG Anadolu, during the ongoing Denizkurdu-2025 naval exercise. This marks the first time two domestically produced drones have operated simultaneously from a short-runway ship.
The drones, identified as PT-3 and PT-4, flew from Keşan and landed autonomously on TCG Anadolu. Tests included ammunition loading and fully autonomous takeoffs and landings, controlled by an onboard ground station using AI-supported flight systems.
Baykar Chairman Selçuk Bayraktar and Turkish Naval Forces Commander Admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu observed the operations. The TB3 drones will conduct missile strikes on land targets and perform a formation flight during the exercise’s key event on May 14.
Bayraktar TB3 is the first drone in the world capable of autonomous operations on a short-runway naval ship, highlighting Türkiye’s growing defense technology capabilities.
