An image shared by Baykar, the manufacturer of the well-known Bayraktar TB2, shows a half-complete aircraft alongside a full-scale model.
A similar panel arrangement was seen in concept photos. Upon close inspection, serrated indentations appear to surround the nose and all panel openings throughout the aircraft. Indicating a strong emphasis on a low RCS. These serrations are featured on all modern stealth aircraft including the F35, B2 and J20. A Zinc-Chromate coating is clearly visible through the frontal panels, suggesting that this will be a working prototype once complete.
The Kizilelma, unlike other drones, is optimized for air-to-air combat. Not only does it feature a stealthy airframe and AESA radar, but it is also going to be highly manoeuvrable. Later models will be supersonic. It will essentially be an AI-driven, unmanned fighter jet, capable of multi-role missions.
