S.A.T (Underwater Offence) commandos, Turkish Naval Forces
They take part in coastal reconnaissance to be subtracted under the pre-force operation and underwater control of the coast and the control of foreign ports. Stealthy attack, sabotage and raids on the coastal strategic facilities or surface platforms of the enemy by underwater, over water, from land or airborne are some of their missions.
To summarize some of the operations that are known by the public:
> During the Cyprus Peace Operation, the SAT commandos were the first TAF element to come ashore. The SAT Commandos, which infiltrated by underwater and landed, determined the beach to be landed before the amphibious operation.
> In 1993, an operation was carried out on the Lucky-S ship, which was found to be loaded with drugs, off the Mediterranean Sea, and 14 tons of drugs were seized.
> SAT commandos, who came to the public agenda for the first time after a Turkish cargo ship named Figen Akat ran aground on the Kardak rocks on 25 December 1995, successfully infiltrated the Kardak Rocks on 31 January 1996 from among the Greek DYK Commandos and thus the foreign element was cleared from the islet.
> They successfully intercepted the Eurasian ferry hijacked by Chechen militants in 1996.
> They rescued 253 citizens who were stuck in the capital Tirana as a result of the turmoil in Albania in 1997.
> In the rescue operation of the hostages on the Kartepe sea bus, which was taken hostage by the PKK terrorists in 2011, SAT team secretly infiltrated the ship, neutralized the terrorist which he has explosive device on him, and they successfully completed their mission without harming any civilian.
