Bayraktar KIZILELMA, with the tail number of TC-ÖZB, which came off the production line on November 14, 2022, was transferred to AKINCI Flight Training and Test Center in Çorlu. After successfully completing the ground tests here, it made its first flight on 14 December 2022. Bayraktar KIZILELMA met with the sky in a record time like a year.
TASK WITH SMART FLEET AUTONOMY
Bayraktar KIZILELMA, Turkey's first unmanned fighter aircraft, will perform air-to-air combat with its artificial intelligence capability along with air-ground missions. Bayraktar KIZILELMA unmanned fighter aircraft will be a power multiplier for Turkey with its low visibility thanks to its low radar cross section. Bayraktar KIZILELMA, which will be a platform that will revolutionize the battlefield with its take-off and landing capability from short-runway ships, will take on an important role in overseas missions thanks to this capability and perform strategic tasks in the protection of the Blue Homeland. Bayraktar KIZILELMA, which has a take-off weight of 8.5 tons and a payload capacity of 1500 kg, will also have high situational awareness with the national AESA radar. Bayraktar KIZILELMA, which will use all nationally developed ammunition, will be able to operate with smart fleet autonomy.
BALANCES WILL CHANGE ON THE WAR FIELD
Bayraktar KIZILELMA, which can perform air-air combat like manned warplanes with aggressive maneuvers, unlike unmanned aerial vehicles, will also provide effectiveness against air targets with domestic air-air munitions. With these abilities, he will change the balance on the battlefield. It will have a multiplier effect on Turkey's deterrence.
