The Kizilelma unmanned fighter jet was presented at the Teknofest aerospace festival in the Turkish Black Sea city of Samsun in August of 2022. It is a supersonic deck-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle created as part of the MIUS combat unmanned aerial system project. It can be equipped with the Ukrainian AI-322F engine, with which it made its first flight, as well as the Turkish TF-6000.

The takeoff weight of the drone is around 6 tons, of which almost 2 tons is a payload. It can stay in the air for 5-6 hours at an altitude of 12 km. The flight range, according to the manufacturing company, is not limited due to the ability to work with the SATCOM data network.
