Turkish company Baykar has run new examinations of the Akinci drone equipped with a Ukrainian engine. The unmanned combat aircraft completed testing, the company reports on its Twitter.
Baykar conducted successful firing exercises from the Akinci drone and tested the "smart" HGK-82 targeting system. Ammunition equipped with this system can engage targets on the ground from the air using advanced targeting technology.
"Bayraktar Akinci. HGK-82 firing with high precision in Tekirdag, province of Corlu," said a Turkish company on Twitter.
It is worth noting that the Akinci drone with the Ukrainian engine had previously hit a target at 140 kilometers.
