What is a Red Apple UAV?
Bayraktar Kızılelma, unlike other unmanned aerial vehicles, can perform aggressive maneuvers like manned vehicles and air-air combat can realize. SİHA will carry the experiences gained from Bayraktar TB 2 and Bayraktar Akıncı.
Kızılelma will be able to protect its secrecy in missions, especially thanks to its low radar trace. The shared vehicle, which can use all national ammunition, will take off with a weight of 6 tons. Just like Bayraktar TB 2 Producing large numbers at low cost is aimed.
