Well I see more things coming from Turkey.

In fact, Turkey already has a system similar to the one you attached above. But, I thought it was an inferior system and hence did not bother attaching details of it.

The TAI designed and manufactured TURNA UAV is in the process of being integrated on every Turkish Navy Frigate. 80 mobile units are also being manufactured for use by the Land Forces Command. It has been designed to be launched by a catapult on both sea and land platforms.
