Visão geral
Turkish semi-submersible kamikaze drone boat that races in at 60 knots and can dive to avoid detection.
ÇAKA is a submersible kamikaze uncrewed surface vessel unveiled by Turkey's HAVELSAN at IDEF 2023. The 8.5 m, 3.2-tonne trimaran is designed to sprint across the surface at more than 60 knots on a 550 hp diesel, then switch to battery-powered waterjets and slip beneath the surface to around 10 m for the final approach, making it much harder to spot and engage than a conventional drone boat. Its Roketsan high-explosive warhead is intended for surface warships. Reported range is about 250 km, and like other Turkish drone boats it is designed to attack in coordinated groups.
