Spain has formalised an agreement covering 30 HÜRJET jet trainers as part of a broader shift toward an integrated “combat training system” rather than a standalone aircraft purchase. The programme is led by Airbus Defence and Space, with Turkish Aerospace…
Baykar’s KIZILELMA has started flight tests with ASELSAN’s KARAT IRST (Infrared Search and Track) system, marking a shift from “platform performance” headlines to “combat-relevant sensing” integration. In other words, it’s not only about flying and autonomy anymore—it’s about how the…
Two unmanned jets taking off and flying together in an autonomous “close formation” profile is more than a striking clip. It signals a capability milestone that sits at the heart of where airpower is heading: coordinated systems, shared roles, and…
KIZILELMA’s recent autonomous “close formation flight” with two prototypes has reignited a bigger conversation than a single test milestone: Are we entering the era of the unmanned combat aircraft, and what does “first” really mean in this context? Following the…
Turkish defense industry products became more visible in 2025 through unmanned systems, layered air defense discussions, electronic warfare capabilities, and platform modernization. This article brings together the most talked-about product families and prominent platforms in one place. Each section is…
Developed by MKE, the TOLGA Short-Range Air Defense System achieved 100% success in eight live-fire scenarios against drones at Konya Karapınar. National Interest highlights it as a “new-generation shield” capable of clearing the sky of drone swarms. Turkey’s defense industry…
Turkey’s unmanned combat aircraft Bayraktar KIZILELMA has successfully hit a jet-powered aerial target with an air-to-air missile, pushing the Turkish Armed Forces one step ahead in the age of robot warfare. Turkey has crossed another historic threshold in military technology.…
Türkiye’s first beyond-visual-range (BVR) air-to-air missile Gokdogan has now moved from “project slide” to real-world weapon system status. In a live-fire trial over the Black Sea, the Bayraktar Kizilelma unmanned fighter used the Gokdogan missile to destroy a jet-powered aerial…
ASELSAN’s MURAD AESA radar is one of the key steps that pushes Türkiye’s air power into a new league. Instead of just “upgrading an old radar”, MURAD is creating a common sensor backbone for F-16s, UCAVs like Akinci and Kizilelma,…
