WATCH: Turkish Army conducted large-scale amphibious assault at EFES-2026 exercise.
Coordinated from Türkiye’s drone carrier ship TCG ANADOLU, the operation deployed ZAHA armored amphibious assault vehicles, LCMs, and LCVPs across two beach landing zones.
A separate wave landed 30 next-generation Karayel boats carrying troops from the Amphibious Corps, 19th Commando Brigade, and Combat Engineer Battalion.
Mine clearance teams used autonomous underwater vehicles to detect and destroy obstacles ahead of the landings, while ATAK helicopters, artillery, and snipers provided simultaneous fire support.
