This flight, which lasted 18 minutes, opened the curtain on a new era in the history of Turkish aviation, the report said..

The KIZILELMA project, which Baykar pledged with 100% equity, started in 2021. After tests that lasted for 1 month, the first flight was completed in record time - about 1 year from the start of the project.

Recall, Bayraktar will equip UAVs with missiles to fight other drones and aircraft.

Also recently, two Bayraktar drones destroyed Russian equipment worth $26.5 million in three days - video.

In the summer, Bayraktar introduced a new jet drone, partly Ukrainian-made.
