Baykar TB-3 and TCG Anadolu (3D) launching system.
Looks like a simple solution for catapulting the TB3s.
The hard parts are the arresting hook mechanism in both the aircraft and the carrier.

You guys should remember this catapult concept from the drawing I made and shared on April 3rd.

Yes simple catapult solution to launch UAVs only with minimal change, for arresting UAVs (TB3) a "net" could be used instead of cable which would be easier and simpler. Minimal change on the deck would allow TCG Anadolu to be ready to operate any future F35B too.

I don't really think this is official or referring to an actual system. Haluk Bayraktar has shared it in a video call, and the design (LHD) itself is probably prepared to show concept.
Otherwise, how would we explain the lamp below the ski-jump on fore RCWS platform? Whoever has made this had no idea what the weapon systems actually look like. My bet goes to: an intern.

I will keep bargaining for the rest:
:)
The outer shell is made of a different kind of steel than the usual high yield steels, which makes it harder to add on modules on the sides since the steel is sensitive to heat treatment. The outer shell at that particular location should be peeled and the modules shall be added. Won't be hard too but it is just another batch of work which navy won't like.
In my opinion add RAM(Turkish one) and leave the TCG Anadolu as is.
Bargaining, add 2x RAM in addition to 2 x CIWS, add one Mar-D in addition to Smart-S (Or newer Cenk-S)
It supposed to have 2x40mm guns in the beginning, later they have opted for STOP.

I don't think those are two RAMs (or Sapans). Look closely at the picture. It is mirrored on the glas. It is the same RAM we are seeing twice.
