Turkey's Baykar Makina, the producer of Bayraktar drones, has presented a prototype of a new combat UAV.

Censor.NET reports citing Twitter Baycar.

The National Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle System (MIUS) has been named Kizilelma ("red apple"), said Baykar technology leader Selcuk Bayraktar.

MIUS will be jet-powered and is expected to be capable of taking off from and landing on Turkey's flagship-to-be amphibious assault ship TCG Anadolu.
