The B and C segments of the NOTAM are,

B) 22/12/07 03:00
C) 22/12/07 14:40


B indicates the start and C is the end of NOTAM. There's only one hour to the expiration. So it's highly likely that it's already flown(assuming no hurdle experienced).

Edit: Times are in UTC. So NOTAM will expire in 4 hours.
The Kızılelma won't fly today, folks. NOTAM has been published for Bayraktar TB-2.

Then I presume the NOTAM was for a test that was simply related with KE. Flight planning maybe?

EDIT: Testing emergency deployment of drones for surveillance purposes in case we lose KE?

Perhaps it was Tb2 who fly like that , I dont think Bayraktar will fly KE like that in the first fly it will be like torturing it , there was extreme turnarounds all over the map 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣
Yeah that looks like a friggin rate fight lmao. Can't imagine KE drawing all those rings at first.

Did kizilelma fly or not ?
What type of drobe is this ?

The second picture can not be the first flight. First flights are generally executed with landing gears left down, aircraft take off and made one or two tours around the airfield, then land. It is done for checking basic systems and low-speed profiles. However, in the second picture, there are plenty of maneuvers and flying around, which suggests that it is not the first flight of a new aircraft.

I have read that first test flight is usually done along with another plane.

TAI Ghost Unmanned Warrange TISU will fly in February 2023 prof. Akşit said that there may be a few months delay in the product delivery schedule, but the TF6000 will be ready at the beginning of next year. In this case, TISU can be expected to fly with the TF 6000.

I also thought that Tisu would use the same engine as Kızılelma at first.

A never flown plane with a never fired engine flying together would be an exciting scene to behold.

I doubt that the TF6000 engine can be ready that fast to be used, it would mean the prototype engine without stress test would be put on the TISU.

Highly doubtful and dangerous. I would expect the TISU prototype to fly with Ukrainian engine first and in time switch over to the TF6000
