The Baykar-developed Bayraktar KIZILELMA unmanned combat aircraft has successfully conducted a live-fire test using TEBER-82 and TOLUN-P munitions carried in its internal weapons bay…
During the live-fire test, the KIZILELMA successfully released the TEBER-82 and TOLUN-P munitions from its internal weapons bay and struck the designated target with pinpoint accuracy.
This marked the first time the unmanned combat aircraft had fired munitions carried in its internal weapons bay.
By carrying munitions internally rather than on external under-wing stations, the weapons bay helps reduce the aircraft’s radar cross-section while preserving its high-speed capability and aerodynamic performance.
With its internal weapons bay, the KIZILELMA will be capable of penetrating heavily defended airspace with a low radar signature to conduct deep-strike and precision-strike missions.
The Bayraktar KIZILELMA is designed as a single-engine, low-observable unmanned combat aircraft.
Equipped with an AESA radar and an electro-optical targeting system, KIZILELMA is capable of conducting autonomous missions.
The platform has a total payload capacity of approximately 1.5 tons across its internal weapons bay and under-wing stations, with a maximum takeoff weight ranging from 6 to 8.5 tons depending on the configuration…
