Kamikaze UAV in our country
STM is currently working on circulating ammunition and the kamikaze UAV as a striking UAV. As a result of the studies, ALPAGU and KARGU kamikaze UAVs were developed. KARGU, developed by STM, was used in areas such as Azerbaijan and Libya, as well as terrorist operations in Turkey.
Developed by ASELSAN and ROKETSAN, the product appears to be a larger version of the STM KARGU, which weighs 7.4 kg and has a 1.3 kg warhead. Kamikaze UAVs are used in different sizes and types for different purposes, as in many other areas. After the conflicts in Azerbaijan, the interest in kamikaze UAVs continues to increase exponentially. Kamikaze UAVs in different classes are important both for Turkey's own needs and for export activities.
In addition, a much longer range kamikaze UAV with warheads around 20-30 kg is being carried out under the main contractor of VESTEL Defense. No development has been shared for a long time regarding the project named "KARGI".
