Touching on foreign countries' embargoes on defense products, he said systems that will come or not come from abroad are not a problem for Türkiye.
"We wouldn't be able to see these (domestically produced drones) if there were imported UAVs. Maybe it's better if they don't sell us," he underlined.
Kızılelma -- the prototype was completed in May 2021 -- is set to make its maiden flight at the beginning of next year.
The drone has aggressive maneuverability, with a flight time of five hours and an operational altitude of 35,000 feet.
It has the ability to land and take off from ships with short runways like TCG Anadolu, an assault ship of the Turkish Navy.
