Turkey’s Kizilelma Fighter Drone Fires Guided Bombs From Internal Bay for First Time

Baykar’s Kizilelma unmanned combat aircraft has completed its first live-fire tests using its internal weapons bay, successfully releasing precision-guided munitions against ground targets in Çorlu.

The trial, conducted with the serial-production S2 model, saw the aircraft deploy a Roketsan Teber-82 guided bomb and an Aselsan Tolun glide bomb from inside the fuselage.
