(MENAFN) Baykar, the Turkish aviation firm, premiered a documentary in Istanbul on Wednesday chronicling the development stages of Türkiye's first indigenous unmanned fighter aircraft, Bayraktar KIZILELMA. The documentary, titled "The Goal: Kizilelma," offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development of the UAV and the company's journey toward creating an autonomous fighter aircraft.
The screening was attended by Selcuk Bayraktar, the head of Baykar, who spoke to reporters about the significance of the documentary. Bayraktar emphasized that the documentary not only tells the story of Kizilelma, but also the larger story of Turkey's efforts to be free and independent in the skies. He added that the documentary delves into the reasons why the warplane was created and how it was developed, rather than just focusing on the technical details.
Bayraktar described the documentary as an opportunity for the Turkish nation and other countries to learn about the company's journey toward creating an autonomous fighter aircraft. He encouraged viewers to watch the documentary, which will be available on Baykar's YouTube channel.
The development of Bayraktar KIZILELMA is a significant achievement for the Turkish aviation industry, as it is Türkiye's first indigenous unmanned fighter aircraft. The UAV has undergone several testing phases and has been successfully used in combat operations in Syria and Libya. The development of KIZILELMA represents Türkiye's commitment to advancing its domestic defense industry and becoming more self-sufficient in military technology. The release of the documentary serves to showcase this achievement and inspire future generations of engineers and innovators in Turkey.
