Baykar Chairman Selçuk Bayraktar shared a post on his NSosyal account regarding the test of the Bayraktar KIZILELMA PT-3, which focused on identifying the aircraft’s aerodynamic takeoff system.

The Bayraktar KIZILELMA project, initiated in 2021, represents Türkiye's commitment to developing indigenous unmanned combat aircraft technology.

This programme is viewed as a major milestone in Türkiye’s ambitions to bolster its air power with cutting-edge, domestically produced platforms.

It aims to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers and strengthen the country’s position as a defence exporter.
