Turkish major unmanned aerial vehicle producer, Baykar, successfully tested a new model combat drone, Bayraktar Akinci B, on Tuesday.
"Bayraktar Akinci B met the sky!" Baykar said on Twitter,
While the previous model, Akinci A, has 900-horsepower (hp), the new model has 1,500-hp via two 750-hp engines.
Baykar’s chief technology officer Selcuk Bayraktar said Akinci B is the most powerful and combat-capable armed UAV in its class in the world.
General manager Haluk Bayraktar said Baykar completed export agreements with two countries.
After Akinci B, 1,900-hp Akinci C model will soon be in the skies, he added.

Bayraktar TB3, which recently made history by becoming the world’s first armed unmanned aerial vehicle to take off and land on a short-runway vessel, successfully completed its first firing test with the MAM-T munition to hit its target with pinpoint accuracy.
At a ceremony held in the presence of President Erdoğan and Prime Minister Meloni, the documents of the agreement signed in March — which foresees joint UAV production in Italy— were officially exchanged.
"Those shiny tanks are being set ablaze -- Bayraktar -- that's the new craze," go the lyrics of a popular Ukrainian song dedicated to a drone that has become one of many symbols of the nation's resistance.
