Hi @hyperman @Oublious @MMM-E
1. What's the difference between Kızılelma-A and Kızılelma-B
2. Is my understanding correct that Kızılelma-A will be a subsonic UCAV with TF6000 engine and Kızılelma-B will be a supersonic UCAV with TF10000 engine
3. Or Is Kızılelma-A just a tech demonstrator that will not see service
4. If Kızılelma-A will eventually use TF6000 then why was AL25 engine chosen for testing instead on non afterburning AL322
5. Also do you have any idea what will Kızılelma-C look like

Kizilelma-A is going to be powered by the TF6000 engine, its near subsonic.

Kizilelma-B is the same but with Engine has an afterburner(TF10000) which allows of supersonic flight.

Ideally there would be supercruise but such an engine does not exist as of yet, maybe Baykar will build one.

Kizilelma-C has been speculated to be a 2 engine jet with two TF10000 engines.

There is also a Kizilelma-D.

Well technically Baykar has referenced 5 different Kizilelma variants, they said there is a CA and CB.
