Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar today unveiled a new kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicle, the K2, in a video accompanying Waltz No. 2, which features artificial intelligence-based flight and targeting systems, reports Anadolu.

The company said the K2 is capable of autonomous swarm flight and uses artificial intelligence vision for navigation, target identification and engagement.

It has a range of over 2,000 kilometers, carries a 200-kilogram warhead and has a maximum take-off weight of 800 kilograms.

The drone can take off from short or unprepared runways and is designed to be reused for several deployments.

Baykar is one of Turkey’s leading drone manufacturers and has exported unmanned aerial vehicles to many countries. Its existing platforms include the Bayraktar TB2 tactical drone, the Bayraktar Akinci high-altitude drone, the Bayraktar TB3 ship-capable drone, as well as the Bayraktar Kizilelma jet-powered drone.

In the promotional video, the drone is seen taking off, flying in formation and performing coordinated maneuvers, while the famous waltz by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich plays in the background.
