As of 2025, Türkiye has emerged as one of the leading countries in unmanned combat aircraft technology, marking a new era in its air-power capability. From jet-powered platforms to swarm-enabled autonomous systems, the nation is advancing a wide range of projects that strengthen its defense capacity while shaping the future of modern warfare. Systems such as Kızılelma and ANKA-3 stand out as flagship developments that showcase Türkiye’s ambition and engineering power in next-generation unmanned combat aviation.

Among the 2025 projects, Bayraktar Kızılelma takes center stage with its jet engine, low-visibility design, high maneuverability, and short-runway aircraft carrier compatibility. TUSAŞ ANKA-3, with its stealthy flying-wing architecture, plays a strategic role in deep-strike missions, electronic warfare, and intelligence operations. Additionally, Türkiye continues to work on swarm-controlled unmanned aircraft concepts, jet-powered mini-UAV programs, and advanced autonomous combat platforms. Together, these systems position Türkiye as a rising force in global aviation and prepare its defense industry for a new era in unmanned warfare beyond 2025.
