Introduction: National Promise and Technology Power
In the era of advanced unmanned combat aircraft Baykar KIZILELMArepresents a groundbreaking milestone in Türkiye's defense industry. The launch of this prototype, local and national engineering power demonstrates how it has risen to a competitive position in the global arena. Designed for operational superiority in a rapidly changing threat environment, KIZILELMA clarifies its primary objectives: durability, high maneuverability, advanced avionics integration, and effective weapons integration.
Technical Excellence and the Subtleties of Integration
Two separate sorties were successfully completed by the prototypes, ASELSAN TOLUN ammunition and ROKETSAN TEBER-82 All of the shots fired with the aircraft disciplined shooting capabilities In this process, structural improvements and updates to the avionics architecture increase flight safety and mission flexibility. AESAR-based radar integration provides wide area effective awareness; thus, against air-terrain and air-surface targets high situational awareness is obtained.
Performance and Design Highlights
Renewed engine integration, improved aerodynamic stability at high speeds It combines with. The power output is approaching the speed of sound, high maneuverability and increases the operational safety coefficient. KIZILELMA, safety and efficiency in long-range missions It is equipped with fuel management and thermal management solutions optimized for AESA radar high situational awareness provides operational advantage even in difficult weather conditions.
2026 Inventory Entry Strategy
Baykar's 100% equity-backed KIZILELMA project continues its journey, which began in 2021, with a target of 2026. Ground and air tests conducted at the AKINCI Flight Training and Test Center in Çorlu are accelerating the transition to the production line. entry into inventory The goal is seen as a critical turning point in Türkiye's defense independence. Increasing domestic production and export capacity Strategic plans are being implemented for.
A New Era in Aviation History: National Success and International Integration
At turning points like TEKNOFEST 2023 first flights in global aviation history Formation flights with Bayraktar AKINCI TİHA and squadron flights with Turkish Stars, left its mark on international aviation literatureThese successes, the competitive capacity of local talents in the global arena The significant figures achieved in defense and aerospace sector exports in 2023 and 2024 provide confidence in KIZILELMA's future missions.
Exports and Strategic Investments
Baykar's cooperation network and export balance around the world, Export agreements with 36 countries ve ongoing global partnerships It is getting stronger with. It will become the leader of the defense and aviation sector in 2023-2024, new generation UCAV and attack technologies provides a reliable supply chain and sustainable growth for. In this process, the power of domestic R&D, the vitality of the defense industry ecosystem ve increasing international competitiveness plays a critical role.
We Are Ready for Future Air Attacks
KIZILELMA is not just an airplane, an integrated combat system The system's afterburning engine infrastructure, higher-altitude escort and air defense missions provides flexibility. With sensor fusion anonymized field data are brought together, decision support processes are accelerated and operational efficiency is maximized. In this context, powerful AESA radar, serves as a backbone that responds quickly to enemy threats and excel even in the most challenging tasks Provide.
Result and Vision: National Power, Global Presence
Baykar KIZILELMA project is not only a technological product but also global competitiveness of domestic innovation stands out as a platform, the competitiveness of own-source R&D at world standards proves and Türkiye's defense industry strategic independence and export-oriented growth KIZILELMA is both a critical deterrent element for national security and a pioneer in advanced technologies. a tool that continues to produce innovative solutions stands out as one of the most important design flexibility, integration competencies ve strategic objectives compatible with national defense policies This ensures the platform's sustainable success. In this context, the Turkish aerospace and defense ecosystem continues to advance to greater heights with KIZILELMA, strengthening its position as a global voice in the coming years.
