Is it still in the air or did it land yet, I wish a happy landing.

Pictures are from 23 minutes ago probably it is still in the air.

First flight footage is around 45 minutes old. Assuming they needed to take the footage, send it to Selcuk and upload it, I think more than 1.5hrs has passed. The aircraft is back on ground (I think)

Future does look exciting. The Kizilelma as a loyal wingman craft and Anka working on a jetpowered stealth bomber.

Only problem is propulsion - dependency on GE engines must come to an end.

And an unmanned helicopter gunship also in the works.

Wonder if we will see a fully autonomous electric tank in the near future.

According to my calculations Kızılelma-A (with AI-25TLT) used only 350-400 meters of the runway.

Keep in mind that Kızılelma-B will use AI-322f that can produce up to 9600lbf

What a beast. Those who said that the Turkish Air Force will be outmatched due to Greece's shopping spree have shut their tongues. Kizilelma + Anka III + MMU/TFX will be a scary combo. But even the Kizilelma by itself presents a terrifying new reality for all our enemies. I'm not sure when it will be 100% combat ready, but if it is within a year, we have our stop-gap fighter problem solved. Furthermore, enemy pilots now need to contend with literal "sky terminators" with no fear, no miscalculations and no chance of passing out due to high G turns.

I think MIUS B will be ready with its AESA+EW+EOTS sensor fusion and gokdogan BVR by 2026.
