On April 16, 2024, the Turkish manufacturer of Baykar drones announced the start of testing of its latest development in the field of barrage ammunition – the Kemanks 2 product, showing the relevant footage.

The new model is based on the basic version of Kemanks 1, which was demonstrated last year. However, the improved modification is equipped with a jet engine that allows you to fly over 200 km and stay in the air for more than an hour.

The kamikaze drone looks bigger than its predecessor. It is designed to strike high-priority targets located deep in the enemy's battle formations.

According to the manufacturer, the new version has an optical guidance system with artificial intelligence support, which allows Kemanks 2 to operate with high accuracy even in adverse weather conditions [apparently, we are talking about the so-called "machine vision"]. The drone is equipped with means of protection against electronic interference.

It will change the balance on the battlefield by performing autonomous flight using an AI-supported autopilot system and neutralizing strategic targets with high precision

- the developer believes.

The basic version of Kemanks 1 was presented at TEKNOFEST 2023, and its tests were successfully carried out in June 2023 when launched from the Bayraktar TB2 reconnaissance and strike UAV.
