The End of Super Carriers? Inside TCG Anadolu & The Future of Drone Swarms.

Описание: Welcome back to Pacific Steel. Today, we are looking at a warship that redefined modern naval strategy overnight.
The TCG Anadolu was supposed to be a standard light aircraft carrier hosting American F-35B fighters. But when geopolitics killed that plan, the Turkish Navy didn't scrap the ship. Instead, they pivoted. They took a billion-dollar crisis and turned it into the world's first dedicated "Drone Carrier."
In this video, we dive deep into the engineering and strategy behind TCG Anadolu (L-400). We explore how Turkey retrofitted a Spanish-designed hull to become a launchpad for the next generation of unmanned warfare.
We cover:
• The Crisis: How the S-400 deal ended Turkey's F-35 dream and forced a radical redesign.
• The Technology: A look at the "Foldable Wing" Bayraktar TB3 and the supersonic, stealthy Kızılelma "Red Apple" drone.
• The Tactics: Why "Drone Swarms" at sea are a nightmare for traditional defenses and how this ship acts as a command center for unmanned operations.
• The Economics: Comparing the cost of TCG Anadolu to US Super Carriers—is this the future for middle-power navies?
This isn't just a story about a ship; it's a glimpse into the future of automated warfare. Can a swarm of cheap drones really sink a destroyer? Let's find out.
