Dearsan Launches MAC 50 Fast Attack Craft for Qatari Navy TurDef
Turkish shipbuilder Dearsan announced on 17 November 2025 on social media that it has successfully launched the first of two MAC 50 missile attack craft being built for the Qatari Emiri Naval Forces. The vessels are an extended and modernised variant of Dearsan’s original 43-metre FAC design, lengthened to 50 metres at Qatar’s request to integrate additional combat systems and mission capabilities.
The platform has Roketsan ÇAKIR anti-ship missiles and Roketsan Sungur surface-to-air missiles on board. The primary gun is a Leonardo 40 mm, and there are also two Aselsan STAMP remote weapon stations and two manually controlled 12.7 mm machine guns. It has a full set of sensors for littoral and open-sea operations, including an Aselsan MAR-D air and surface surveillance radar, an LPI navigation radar, an electro-optical sensor, and an electronic support measures system.
After the launch, Dearsan will continue building the second ship according to the anticipated timeline while also equipping the first ship. After outfitting, the MAC 50s will undergo sea trials initially in Türkiye and later in Qatar before their formal induction into the Qatari Emiri Naval Forces.
