Joint battlefield drills of the Turkmen Air Force and other types of troops branches have been held in Turkmenistan.

The Turkish-made unmanned aerial vehicle Bayraktar TB-2 was used in the drills for the first time, TASS reports, citing Neutral Turkmenistan newspaper.

Bayraktar’s tasks included hitting a target from a height of 5,000 metres and a distance of 8,000 metres, which it completed successfully.

The anti-aircraft battalion's strikes on the target aircraft were also practised as part of the war games.
