KIZILELMA has successfully conducted its first live-fire test with the ROKETSAN-developed JET-230 air-to-ground supersonic missile, destroying its target with pinpoint accuracy.
During the mission, the Bayraktar KIZILELMA engaged a target over the sea, striking it with high precision from a distance exceeding 120 kilometers.
By effectively utilizing long-range, high-speed air-to-ground munitions, KIZILELMA is significantly expanding its operational mission spectrum.
The ROKETSAN JET-230 Air-Launched Ballistic Missile (ALBM) was developed as an optimized version of the IHA-230 munition—itself a derivative of the TRG-230 tactical ballistic missile—specifically for combat aircraft.
With an engagement range exceeding 200 kilometers, the system reaches the target area at supersonic speeds due to its ballistic flight characteristics.
The Bayraktar KIZILELMA is designed as a single-engine, unmanned combat aerial vehicle with a stealth airframe.
The platform features a total payload capacity of approximately 1.5 tons via internal weapons bays and under-wing pods, and has a maximum takeoff weight of 6 to 8.5 tons depending on the configuration…
