Turkey's Kizilelma unmanned fighter completes first internal bay firing tests

Turkey’s unmanned combat aircraft, Kizilelma, has successfully executed its initial live-fire tests using its internal weapons bay. Developed by Turkish defense company Baykar, the platform conducted the test flights at the Corlu Flight Training and Test Center in Tekirdag province.

During the trials, the aircraft successfully struck designated targets with TEBER-82 and TOLUN precision-guided munitions deployed directly from its internal bay. Storing weapons internally allows the aircraft to maintain a reduced radar signature, strengthening its stealth profile during operational missions. Testing for the Kizilelma program continues as new capabilities are integrated.
