ANKARA (Sputnik) - Turkey will begin mass producing its first unmanned fighter aircraft Bayraktar Kizilelma in late 2023, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday.
"Mass production of the indigenous unmanned fighter, Bayraktar Kizilelma, will be launched toward the end of 2023," Erdogan was quoted as saying by state Turkish news agency Anadolu.
Turkey’s drone maker Baykar announced the start of Bayraktar Kizilelma ground tests in the country's north earlier in November.
The turbofan engine-powered aircraft reportedly boasts a short take-off and landing capability, which will allow it to operate from small-deck aircraft carriers, such as the Turkish navy's Anadolu amphibious assault ship.
