For the first time appearing in action, Çaka silently advances towards its target at a speed of more than 60 knots with a considerable amount of explosives it carries at its tip, inflicting maximum casualties and damage.

HAVELSAN Specialist Göker Oral explained the operational system of the unmanned sea vehicle Çaka, capable of performing kamikaze dives, to Hürriyet at IDEF'23: "In recent years, unmanned surface vehicles have evolved in different directions. We have developed a new concept.

We conducted research, but we could not find its counterpart worldwide. There are trials, but not in this manner. It carries explosives at its front end, hits the target at high speeds, and detonates.

One of its most important features is its ability to dive. It can maintain its position underwater and move steadily in a certain direction. It has a significant integration and cooperative movement capability.

It will be able to work in integration with air-supported warfare management systems such as ADVENT. In addition to these integrations, it will be able to execute joint movements with both manned sea vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Meanwhile, AZERBAIJAN has become a partner in Türkiye's 5th generation fighter aircraft project, the National Combat Aircraft KAAN. Within this scope, a collaboration agreement was signed between the Ministry of Defense Industry of Azerbaijan and TUSAŞ at the IDEF 23 defense fair.

The agreement is also considered as a significant step in the modernization of Azerbaijan's Air Force. Engineers from both countries will work together, and the production of some sub-systems of the KAAN Project is planned to take place in Azerbaijan.

With a length of 8.5 meters, a width of 3.3 meters, and a speed of over 60 knots, Çaka silently approaches its target underwater.
