Baykar Tech Kızılelma News and Developments

@Combat-Master and I have agreed that this bad boi deserves a separate thread of its own.

Here's a starter:

From now on, please use only this thread for Kizilelma news; we're reserving the "Turkish UAV Developments & Fielding" thread for TB-2/3, Anka, Aksungur and Akinci since these drones are not analogous to turbofan powered Kizilelma or Anka-3 at all...

✅ 360° Coverage

Aselsan has revealed the architecture of the FEWS-U EW-system on the Kızılelma:

  • ARIA-U-210 RWR
  • ARK-U-210 RF Jammer
  • SUMER-A-200 Management Unit
  • KARTACA-A-200 Countermeasure System
  • GizEM Conformal Communication Antennas
They also say the system has the capability to share threat data with other ground and air assets.

How does it compare with modern IRST systems?

Roughly comparable range, but on a slightly lower performance spectrum if this is its maximum range for a passenger aircraft type target. Regardless, it has only flown 4–5 times so far, and it is almost certain they have not tested its maximum performance yet. Keep in mind this is a downrated product and Aselsan’s first airborne IRST also.

(Baykar shares a lot of flight test footage and rarely censors displayed info but keeps some tests secret)
