Afterwards, BAYRAKTAR explained their activities in detail to the participants, stating that they have developed revolutionary projects, and said: "We have successfully completed the test flight of our unmanned aerial combat aircraft KIZILELMA before the 100th anniversary of our Republic. KIZILELMA also heralds us that it is a game-changer. In a sense, these flights also show how air combat will be in the future. Especially the close flight of KIZILELMA and AKINCI was the first time in the history of world aviation. The world, where babies are slaughtered shamelessly and rampantly, needs these planes and your work, friends, in order for the voice of morality, goodness, and justice to be louder. Bayraktar TB3 and KIZILELMA will revolutionize the world's combat history, just like our UCAVs."
