TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

Kızılelma variants:
- A
- B
- CA
- CB
- O

There is various speculation regarding the power output and flight envelopes between the variants. We can gues over A, B, and C from older brochures, but the current plan includes a total of five variants. My humble opinion is that C represents the twin-engine threshold, and A and B might relate to the total installed power and supersonic capability. The variant coded 'O' is a complete mystery; perhaps the biggest important milestone in the Bayraktar brothers' vision for the next 30 years: Highly maneuverable, fully autonomous 'air superiority' jet. 'O' could refer to a medium-class (orta sınıf) fighter. Like, Kaan is an optionally manned heavy-class heavy combatant while Kızılelma(O) is a fully autonomous unmanned medium-class combatant.

I miss the smooth fillet between wings and fuselage (wing root/fairing) without these hard edges.

In my opinion, O may refer to Otonom (Autonomous) which it will be full capable of doing air superiority without operator control.

It's highly probable.

The Baykar Group challenges traditional understanding with a fundamentally different concept and discourse, and therefore its activities reflect this. Some consider these views overly idealistic( and unrealistic), while others tend to see Baykar's current position as a point of achieving a result. However, they are talking about a 30-year perspective. I believe that many Baykar initiatives that currently seem separate are, in the long term, part of this vision. I am preparing a short forum article where I will present my humble opinions on this matter.

More TB-3 for land forces. Where is TB-2AI and when will Navy start to recieve TB-3's are good questions at this point.

Kızılelma goes Denizli, it is middle of eagea/adalar region.

The Çardak Airfield Command in Denizli has been restructured as the "19th Combat Unmanned Aircraft System Base and Flight Training School Command".
