New Turkish Heavyweight Torpedo & Attack Drone at IDEF 2025
At IDEF 2025, held in Istanbul between 22–27 July 2025 the Turkish Ministry of Defence R&D Center showcased two remarkable systems:
A New Heavyweight Torpedo – Developed in-house, this underwater weapon boasts 100 km range and is equipped with a 1,000-kg thermobaric warhead, an uncommon and highly destructive payload for torpedoes.
Semi-Submersible One-Way Attack Surface Drone – Still in the conceptual stage, this innovative USV features the same 1,000-kg thermobaric warhead. Its design suggests a future role in asymmetric naval warfare and coastal strike operations.
Our Turkish correspondent Tayfun Ozberk was on the ground, providing detailed information and expert insights on both systems.
