JAKARTA - Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar, launched a new kamikaze drone, K2, two weeks ago in a video accompanied by the song "Waltz No. 2", featuring an artificial intelligence-based flight and targeting system.
K2 is capable of autonomous swarm flight and uses AI vision for navigation, targeting and attack, the company said, quoted by Anadolu (28/3).
The kamikaze drone has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles), carries a 200-kilogram (440-pound) warhead, and has a maximum take-off weight of 800 kilograms.
In addition, this drone can take off from a short or unprepared runway and is designed to be reused for several assignments.
In the promotional video, the drones are seen taking off, flying in formation, and performing coordinated maneuvers, to the accompaniment of the famous waltz music by Dmitri Shostakovich in the background.
It is known that Baykar is one of the leading drone manufacturers in Turkey and has exported UAVs to various countries. Current platforms include the tactical Bayraktar TB2, the high-altitude Bayraktar Akinci. There is also the Bayraktar TB3 which is capable of operating from ships, and the jet-powered Bayraktar Kizilelma.
Waltz No. 2 is an iconic work full of nostalgia and known for its "dark cabaret" style, combining the cheerful atmosphere of a cabaret with a dark melancholy tone and dramatic harmony, written by Soviet composer and pianist Dmitri Shostakovich in 1938.
