Baykar and Indonesian PT Republikorp have signed an export deal for 12 KIZLELMA unmanned fighters during the SAHA EXPO 2026 international defence exhibition.
Baykar has scored an export for the KIZILELMA unmanned fighter to Indonesia, through a contract with PT Republikorp signed during SAHA EXPO 2026.
According to the contract, 12 KIZILELMA fighters will be delivered to the Indonesian Air Force from 2028 onwards.
KIZILELMA has entered the serial production stage as of early 2026, with the training activities ongoing for the operators.
KIZILELMA stands out with its layout that is identical to a typical fighter jet, which allows high agility and has provisions to mount a comprehensive suite of avionics.
The unmanned fighter has internal and external weapon bays that can carry air-to-air and air-to-surface munitions of various types. So far, GÖKDOĞAN BVRAAM, TOLUN-P SDB, and TEBER-82 laser/GNSS guided bombs have been tested from external hardpoints.
Sensors of KIZILELMA include MURAD 100-A AESA radar from ASELSAN [BIST:ASELS], KARAT 100 IRST, and TOYGUN 100 EOTS, all of which have been tested. While MURAD 100-A stands as the multi-role sensor, TOYGUN 100 and KARAT 100 are meant to perform air-to-surface and air-to-air missions, respectively.
