Turkey’s unmanned drone fighter plane made history by shooting down another aircraft from far away without needing a human pilot inside.
The unmanned drone called Bayraktar Kizilelma destroyed a flying target using a long-range missile while being controlled remotely from the ground.
The test happened over the Black Sea with the robot plane flying alongside five regular F-16 fighter jets, showing how future air combat could work.
The Turkish drone is 47.5 feet long, can fly 575 miles away, reach near the speed of sound, and carry missiles to strike targets.
This is historic because everything used was made in Turkey, the radar, missile, and drone.
