A Review of Turkiye’s Future Submarine-Based Missiles
Following the AKYA heavyweight torpedo, Turkiye has embarked on developing various submarine-launched missiles for different tasks. The development of three missiles is ongoing for launch from submarine torpedo tubes to give the submarines ASuW, land attack, and self-air defence capabilities.
The first known development is the GEZGİN missile. While there have been no official statements, GEZGİN is anticipated to have a longer range than current cruise missiles like SOM and ATMACA due to its mission profile.
The missile will be an important asset to the Turkish Navy, onboard submarines and future warships like TF2000 destroyers. With the stealthiness of a submarine, the missile will allow the Turkish Navy to conduct surprise attacks on high-value targets from the coastline to the mainland with submarines.
