Arent they changing the engine area to steathy one? This way kizilemla looks amatour drone and not steathy
Such a nozzle reconfiguration is a major undertaking. I doubt Ivchenko Progress have the knowhow or the resources to undertake it at the moment. We will probably see such a design change with TF6000 in the future.

first flight (if I didn't miss the first before)
Probably the second or third flight test. Only the first one was announced.

It's the third prototype but is still has no landing gear bay doors. It is exposed to air drag even when its legs are folded, just like in the slow-speed drones like Akinci or Reaper.

A nice and very important detail has been overlooked.
During this firing test, 2 MAM-T bombs were sent to the target. Incidentally, both bombs hit the target at the same spot. Second one going through the hole of the first one. Good targeting!

if that targetting could be done automatically then that would indeed be extremely impressive. And could turn even small size UCAV into dangerous platforms for naval vessels.
