Turkey stunned global militaries after Baykar’s Kızılelma unmanned fighter jet successfully executed a beyond-visual-range air-to-air kill during tests, as reported by TRT World. The UAV used its Murad AESA radar and a Gökdoğan missile to strike a high-speed target, marking the first verified air-to-air combat capability by an uncrewed platform. Footage of Kızılelma flying alongside F-16s in a mixed formation signaled Ankara’s ambition to push manned-unmanned combat integration, shaking Western defence assumptions and showcasing Türkiye’s accelerating military tech leap.
