It was seen that the production development model of Bayraktar KIZILELMA's first prototype was painted. Today, Selçuk Bayraktar shared the painted photograph of Bayraktar KIZILELMA on his Twitter account for the first time.
Utilizing the experience gained by Baykar Teknoloji with Bayraktar AKINCI, the Bayraktar KIZILELMA Combatant Unmanned Aircraft System is being developed to meet Turkey's need for an unmanned combat platform that can serve in air battles of the future, where unmanned combat jets are predicted to take place.
The project was called KIZILELMA
In March 2022, Baykar Technology Leader Selçuk Bayraktar stated that the name of MİUS was Bayraktar KIZILELMA, “After 3 and a half years, a larger and more agile fish entered the production line. MİUS – Unmanned Fighter Aircraft: Bayraktar KIZILELMA. It's on the way, stay tuned...” he said. In the statement made by Baykar Teknoloji, “The production development model of the first prototype of our Combat Unmanned Aircraft System (MİUS) has entered the integration line. The name of our unmanned warplane project was Bayraktar KIZILELMA.” statements were made.
Capabilities of KIZILELMA
Bayraktar KIZILELMA will operate at a cruising speed close to the speed of sound. In the next process, it will be supersonic by going above the speed of sound. Bayraktar KIZILELMA will have an ammunition and payload capacity of close to 1.5 tons. It will be able to carry Air-Air, Air-Ground smart missiles and cruise missiles. The radar will be able to carry its ammunition inside the hull so that it has a low-visible design.
In missions where radar invisibility is not at the forefront, they can also have their ammunition under the wing. Bayraktar KIZILELMA will be able to land on the ship with the help of catch cables and hooks. The element that distinguishes the aircraft design from other unmanned warplanes in the world is its vertical tails and front canard horizontal control surfaces. Thanks to these control surfaces, it will have aggressive maneuverability.
An agreement was signed with Ukraine for the engine.
On the second day of the defense, aerospace and space fair SAHA EXPO 2021, Baykar Defense and Ukrainian Ivchenko-Progress Combatant Unmanned Aircraft System (MİUS) signed a contract for Bayraktar KIZILELMA. The contract signed for MİUS Project covers AI-322F Turbofan Engine Supply and AI-25TLT Turbofan Engine Integration.
