Ehrlich gesagt kenne ich mich mit die Torpedos nicht so gut aus.Ich auch nicht. Aber irgendeinen relevanten Unterschied zwischen Seehecht und SST wird es wohl geben, da beide im gleichen Zeitraum nebeneinander von TKMS/Atlas produziert wurden und die Türkei auch beide einsetzt. Außerdem soll Akya offenbar eine ganze Reihe von Torpedos ersetzen, nur halt eben die Seehecht nicht.

Turkish Army Practices Artillery-UAV Teaming
In a recent training, the Turkish Army used various artillery pieces with cueing from UAVs.
As part of the operational readiness inspections, Land Forces; “Artillery Fire and UAV and Artillery Fire Regulation Training” was conducted by the 102nd Artillery Regiment Command.
T-155 Fırtına 155 mm and M110A2 203 mm SPGs were present in the training.
Non-line-of-sight observation/ranging with UAVs has become a point of interest for the armies since the Russo-Ukrainian War. The UAVs are utilised to increase the accuracy of artillery guns, rockets, and even automatic grenade launchers by providing real-time position information.
While the types of UAVs used haven’t been disclosed, HAVELSAN’s BAHA and Baykar Kalkan VTOL UAVs are among the possibilities.
