The Turkish-produced Bayraktar TB2 drone systems have successfully passed testing flights in Ukraine and will be approved for service at Ukrainian combat units deployed to the war zone of Donbas, as the UkrOboronProm, the state-run defense production giant, reported on March 20.

The aerial vehicles were being tested since early March at the airfield of Starokostyantyniv in Khmelnytskiy Oblast, some 250 kilometers west of Kyiv. According to the concern, the Bayraktar drones have demonstrated strong performance, having successfully fulfilled all surveillance tasks and delivering a strike upon a ground target with its in-built weapons, missing the target point by no more than 1 meter.
