| After producing Potez 25 reconnaissance biplanes and Avia BH-33E fighters under licence, the Ikarus factory built the IK-L1, a prototype gull-wing monoplane fighter powered by a 860hp Hispano-Suiza 12Ycrs engine, and first flown on 22 April 1935. After this crashed a second IK-02 prototype was built, followed by a series of 12 Ikarus IK-2 fighters delivered in early 1939. Generally similar to the earlier prototypes, the IK-2s flew with 107 Eskadrila against the invading Germans in April 1941. Armament comprised one Hispano-Suiza 404 20mm cannon and two synchronised 7.7mm machine-guns.
Twelve Ikarus IK-2s were built for the Yugoslav Air Force and eight survived to fight the German invasion in 1941. It was followed by the IK-3 prototype, which resembled a Hurricane.
