Baykar’s KIZILELMA unmanned fighter performed its second flight test involving a captive munition with TEBER-82 500 lb Laser+GNSS guided bomb of ROKETSAN.
Following the captive munition flight test with ASELSAN’s TOLUN small-diameter bomb, TEBER-82 took its place under KIZILELMA’s wing in the new test footage Baykar shared on social media.
Like the test with TOLUN, two TEBER-82 guided bombs were placed on external hardpoints of KIZILELMA PT-3 prototype.
TOLUN and TEBER kit being the first suggests the initial phase of KIZILELMA’s munition tests will consist of unpowered munitions due to the simplicity in integration. Later on, air-to-surface missiles like ÇAKIR and UAV-230 are likely to follow as powered munition types. Ultimately, with the integration of sensors such as MURAD AESA radar and KARAT 100 IRST, KIZILELMA will move on to the air-to-air missile tests.
TEBER-82 is a Laser+GNSS guided bomb combining two guidance types for fire-and-forget against static targets and effectiveness against moving targets. The kit is available for all Mk-80 series of general-purpose bombs. For Mk-82 500 lb bombs, the TEBER-82 is available in baseline (Fighters: 28 km / UCAVs: 13 km), fixed wing (Specialised for UCAVs, 30 km), and folding wings (Fighters: ~100 km / UCAVs: ~50 km).
