Türkiye's new drone powered by a jet-engine shows similar exterior features to fifth generation fighter jets. Baykar says in addition to conventional drone missions, Kizilelma will be able to conduct air-to-air engagements.
Malaysia and Indonesia had expressed interest in buying armed drones from Türkiye, while 20 of them have been delivered to the United Arab Emirates.
Baykar is planning to complete the construction of its manufacturing plant in Ukraine, the only one outside of Türkiye, in two years.
After it got removed from the F-35 fighter jet program, Türkiye converted its vertical take-off aircraft carrier, which is still under construction into a drone carrier. The carrier will serve as a base for Kizilema and other drones in use by the Turkish military.
