Turkey built the second prototype of the Bayraktar jet

12

Recently, the son-in-law of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, entrepreneur, engineer, technical Director and co-owner of the defense company Baykar Makina, Seljuk Bayraktar, informed the public that the Baykar Teknoloji division had completed the assembly of the second prototype of the Bayraktar Kizilelma (Red Apple) jet combat UAV. The development is carried out within the framework of the MIUS program - a combat unmanned aircraft complex.

As evidence, the businessman presented to the public photographs of the built second prototype of the jet-powered supersonic low-observable deck-based Bayraktar.





A jet-powered UAV was a dream 12 years ago

- he added.

We remind you that in the first half of March 2022, Seljuk Bayraktar told on his Twitter account (a social network banned in Russia) what the name of the unmanned fighter under development would be called, sharing then pictures from the workshop where various UAVs were assembled.

The first prototype was made by mid-June. At the same time, the start of test flights of both prototypes is expected in 2023. Note that this is not just the success of one Turkish company close to the country's leadership. There has been real progress in the entire military-industrial complex of Turkey in recent years. At the same time, there are also shortcomings that the Turks are trying to eliminate. For example, Bayraktar Kizilelma will be available in two variants. One will be equipped with the AI-322F turbofan engine (modification AI-222K-25F), and the other with the AI-25TL turbofan engine. The problem is that both aircraft engines are produced in Ukraine by SE Ivchenko-Progress and JSC Motor Sich (Zaporozhye).

    Well done Turks, they are on the right path. Of course, on such an occasion, a pebble in our garden is necessary. They have been tormented with the "Hunter" for a decade, but they can't bother them in any way (or it's more convenient to "cut" the money this way). The transition to jet aircraft-like UAVs is a foregone conclusion, both in terms of their development and weapons for them. Why are our military-industrial complex so beloved layouts and promises not visible, even there are none.

      I think the answer is on the surface - there is no responsibility for one’s actions, and this, under the current government, is everywhere. The main manager does not bother with such trifles as accounting and control, although he studied at a Soviet university, and there, as you know, they taught such a science as political economy, now forgotten by everyone and fucked up

    How will this thing fly without dill engines? All their factories seem to have been bombed according to reports from the RF Ministry of Defense. And the idea is good. And they built it quickly. Our defective managers have a lot to learn, and not just to cut the loot.

    Compared to the Hunter - economy class. Especially on Ukrainian engines. Even if they are still being made, a couple of Calibers - and they will forget about engines in Ukraine forever.

    Turks, yes, well done. simple ones have already been mastered, swung at Supersonic !!! Yes, and ship!!!
    Essentially a fighter.

    Compare with the Hunter, As commentators here - to show liberal jingoistic incompetence.

    Shipborne supersonic fighter and subsonic land bomber. different niches.
    And the engine is a solvable matter, another one will be delivered., From NATO.

        Refused for deliveries to Ukraine, because. this is a violation of some kind of NATO rules ...
        so far without Ukraine - they supplied it like this.
        and for the internal layout - put. where do they go...
