Baykar Chairman of the Board and Technology Leader Selçuk Bayraktar shared on his Twitter account, “We celebrated the first flight of Kızılelma, which we have dreamed of for 20 years, together with the Baykar family.” used the phrases.

Bayraktar Kızılelma will be a platform that will revolutionize the battlefield, especially with its ability to land and take off on ships with short runways. Bayraktar Kızılelma, which was developed to have the ability to land and take off on ships with short runways, such as the TCG Anadolu ship, which Turkey has built and is currently conducting cruise tests, will play an important role in overseas missions thanks to this capability. With this capability, it will assume a strategic role in the protection of the Blue Homeland.

Bayraktar Kızılelma will successfully perform the most challenging tasks thanks to the low radar trace it will obtain from its design. Turkey's first unmanned fighter aircraft, which is aimed to have a take-off weight of 6 tons, will use all nationally developed ammunition and will be a great power multiplier with a planned 1500 kilogram payload capacity. The unmanned fighter aircraft will also have high situational awareness with the national AESA radar.

Bayraktar Kızılelma, which can perform air-air combat like manned warplanes with aggressive maneuvers, unlike unmanned aerial vehicles, will also provide effectiveness against air targets with domestic air-air munitions. With these abilities, he will change the balance on the battlefield. It will have a multiplier effect on Turkey's deterrence.
