Enhanced with artificial intelligence and a turbo engine, Türkiye’s Bayraktar TB2T achieved 25,500 feet altitude in its third performance test, proving its advanced flight capabilities.

Turkey’s Baykar and Italy’s Leonardo have signed a five-year partnership agreement in Rome to co-develop and co-produce unmanned aerial systems. The deal includes joint production in Turkey and Italy, leveraging European certification and market access advantages.

Turkey’s first unmanned fighter jet, Bayraktar KIZILELMA, has successfully completed its Aerodynamic System Identification Test. With its new afterburning engine, KIZILELMA is approaching supersonic speeds and is set to redefine the future of aerial combat.
