KIZILELMA and ANKA 3: Turkey on the Verge of a World First!

KIZILELMA, ANKA III, MQ-28A Ghost Bat, YFQ-42A, YFQ-44A and the Rafale F5 unmanned combat aircraft compared: serial production, schedules and inventory dates. Baykar's Bayraktar KIZILELMA is targeted to enter the inventory in 2026, and TUSAŞ's ANKA III has a first-delivery target of late 2026 to early 2027. If these schedules hold and acceptance is formally completed, Turkey could become the first country in the world to bring the unmanned fighter class into its military inventory. In this video we look at serial production, munition tests and inventory schedules for KIZILELMA and ANKA III, and compare them with Australia's MQ-28A Ghost Bat, the US YFQ-42A and YFQ-44A Fury, and France's unmanned combat aircraft for the Rafale F5 — keeping the line between "official target", "planned delivery" and "completed acceptance".
