Turkish UAV/UCAV Projects

Congrats to Turkiye, this will level up our Defence industry in the world. Ther was a race ongoing with Americans, they claimed they would be the first in the world firing a air to air missile from a drone.

Againg Baykar beat the competition.

 
Congratulations, Turkey that is a very big achievement

When will this drone takeoff from the naval carrier?

Thank you. I think they postponed it. The aircraft carrier version will be built in 2035 at the earliest.

not for a while, the current Kizilelma needs to first go into mass production and service, before a naval variant is built. And for mass production the engine issue will need to be addressed, the Ukrainians I don't think can supply the engine in a stable way b/c of the war. And I think Arrested landing will be needed as well unlike the TB3, so it might indeed be on the second carrier, rather than the Anadolu, unless the Anadolu gets refitted with arresting cables.
 
BAYKAR technology seems to have undertaken the mission of bringing the Turkish Aviation industry to the level of developed countries like USA or maybe even one step ahead of them

Baykar CEO Haluk Bayraktar ... July 22, 2024

We will invest $300 million into engine production within the next five years. Within four years, we will be building Bayraktar KIZILELMA’s Engine

BAYKAR allocated $1 billion to the KIZILELMA project

Türkiye will be building the world’s most advanced unmanned stealth fighter Jet within the next four years by developing its own engine: “We concentrate on being the best in technology over profits.”

Congrats to our brothers . Their hardwork payoff now. keep going keep going keep going
 
The KIZILELMA Model 5 aircraft achieved a new achievement in the history of world aviation by successfully completing a target hit test using an air-to-air missile beyond visual range.

In this test the two local components were used as follows
MURAD AESA radar from ASELSAN and GÖKDOĞAN missile developed by TÜBİTAK SAGE.

Thanks to this success, KIZILELMA became the first unmanned fighter in the history of aviation to hit an air target powered by a jet engine using an air-to-air missile beyond visual range.

The move was so big that the Air Force commander and directors of major defense companies flew aboard F-16 fighters to watch the strike from the air

Five two-seat F-16 fighter jets took off from Mirzevon 5th Main Air Base for a historic test, meeting Kizililma aircraft over the skies of Sinop. Kizililma conducted a five-a-side formation flight with F-16s, and also demonstrated the future of air combat by implementing a joint manned and unmanned operation (MUM-T).

Engineer Selcuk Bayraktar :
Today we have opened the doors to a new era in aviation history.
We have successfully completed this historic mission using Bayraktar KIZILELMA, which we have fully developed at the national level
ASELSAN's MURAD radar and the GÖKDOĞAN missile, equipped with active radar beyond optical sight, were developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE.

The Meheter piece used as the background music in this video presentation is also very meaningful! It's to commemorate the conquest of Constantinople using the Ottoman technology, strategy and tactics to its fullest....

Lyrics:
Sails will be cut , sails will be sewed
The Galleon which pulled from mountains will be pulled

You are in the hand , you are in the tongue , in the heart , on the head
You are at the age of Fatih when he conquered Istanbul

Young man , when you take sign from your ancestors
You will walk , the people will walk after you
I bring you greetings from Ulubatlı Hasan

You are in the hand , you are in the tongue , in the heart , on the head
You are at the age of Fatih when he conquered Istanbul

What a clean hit as well.

Beautiful shot.

This song is often thought to be a military march from the Ottoman period, but this is not true. It belongs to musician Yıldırım Gürses, who lived during the Republican era.

Just imagine KE, while being undetected, firing PL-17s deep into Bharat! They'll compelled to shift their capital toward South India....

Its not going to fire PL-17s, China would not allow for the integration, in all likelyhood it would fire Turkish munitions that Pakistan buys, or Pakistani munitions that they jointly develop with Turkey. Pakistan's Faaz BVR program there were reports that it merged with Turkey's i.e. Pakistan might license build Turkish missiles in Pakistan.

While Pakistan is collaborating with Turkiye on a joint program, Pakistan won't abandon the FAAZ to simply manufacture Turkish missiles.

Personally, I think we may see what happened in the naval sector be reproduced. Pakistan will gain enough technical experience from Turkish and Chinese technology to build its own version, like it has done with the Jinnah-class frigates.

In other words, I'm of the belief that FAAZ-2 Will likely incorporate what Pakistan has learned from both the Chinese and the Turks when it comes to AA missile technology.
