Bayraktar Kızılelma, an unmanned fighter aircraft developed by Baykar, will be exhibited at Teknofest. According to Baykar’s Twitter post, Bayraktar Kızılelma set out for the Teknofest Black Sea event to be held in Samsun on 30 August-4 September.

Baykar Technology Leader Selçuk Bayraktar announced that Kızılelma, which will be exhibited at Teknofest, is the second production prototype version. Red Apple will appear in public for the first time.
Red Apple, developed as a combat unmanned fighter aircraft, will fly completely unmanned. It will reach a speed close to the speed of sound with a cruising speed of 0.6 mach.
Kızılelma will stand out with its 5-hour airtime and 1,500 kg payload capacity. The most striking feature of Kızılelma will be its take-off and landing capability from short-runway aircraft carriers such as TCG Anadolu. Thus, it will play an active role in the defense of the Blue Homeland. The first test flight of Kızılelma is planned for 2023.
