Turkish defense company Baykar has conducted test flights of the Bayraktar TB2T-AI, an upgraded variant of the TB2 drone featuring artificial intelligence integration and a turbocharged engine. The enhancements significantly improve high-altitude and high-speed performance, as well as autonomous mission capability. The new engine enables the UAV to reach altitudes exceeding 30,000 feet (9,144 meters) in under 30 minutes, up from its former ceiling of 22,000 feet (6,096 meters).
