The first screening of a documentary on the development stages of Bayraktar KIZILELMA, Türkiye's first indigenous unmanned fighter aircraft, was held Wednesday in Istanbul.
The Goal: Kizilelma also recounts the development journey of Turkish aviation firm Baykar's unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
“The documentary tells about the suffering and the efforts for Türkiye to be free and independent in the skies,” Selcuk Bayraktar, the head of Baykar, told reporters ahead of its premier.
“It tells not only the story of Kizilelma, but also the story of this whole adventure. More than technique, it tells why we created the warplane and how we do it,” Bayraktar said.
He urged the Turkish nation and all brotherly countries to watch the documentary broadcast on Baykar's YouTube channel.

UAE tech group EDGE will integrate precision-guided munition into Turkey’s Bayraktar TB2 combat drones.

The Romanian Land Forces started the reception procedures for the equipment of the first Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aircraft system this week, the Ministry of Defense (MApN) announced. Once this stage is completed, estimated for late June-early July, Romanian pilots will begin their training flights.

Turkish defence company Baykar is planning to complete the construction of its manufacturing plant in Ukraine in two years, its chief executive said on Thursday, after the company became highly renowned for their drones' success in thwarting Russian forces.
