The first flight tests of the system began in 2018. Eventually, it seems the confidentially on the project was lifted. It was displayed, probably because of our komşu's last statements.

Its operational range is 1000 km?! If true, this is really remarkable.

Engagement range of 1000 km is a very serious strategic multiplier for a system in HITL type compact anti radiation drones, from the very first blocks. With Block-1, probably around 100 Harpy which shelf life is now nearing the end will be replaced. Or we can consume the remaining Harpy somewhere this year, I don't know. lol

While aircraft structurals, ground systems, navigation and automatic flight control system design and production, system software and some embedded systems are implemented by Lentatek, but there are large R&D powerhouses such as SAGE, TEI and ASELSAN behind the project on a subsystem basis. (RF seeker head, warhead, silent flight engine, canister launcher rocket engine, link system, propeller, fuel tank etc) But the real surprise is in block-2. With much longer flight endurances, different mission payloads, different seekers, and abilities where m2m communication comes to the fore...

the range is not important the time it can loiter in the air. This is a SAM hunter, it have RF seeker what is searching for RADAR signal and EW signal. This is next gen kamikaze drone , the Israelly harop doesn't have SATCOM and datalink. So it shares iformation, what kind radar signal it catchs and send it to command center wher they can analyze.

Kargi is a nightmare....


range is irrelevant in a war....

İbrahim Sünnetçi: Around 15 shooting tests have been conducted so far, with the KARGI Assault UAV System developed by LENTATEK.

I think more a cruise missile

I think more a cruise missile

Bro, it has an aerodynamics suitable for it as it cruises at supersonic speed and high maneuverability is aimed. Also since it is aimed to be launched from unmanned aerial vehicles such as ANKA and AKSUNGUR, its dimensions must be within some limits.

The system will have 3 main areas of use: First, it will be used as electronic warfare support, electronic warfare attack and a kind of deceptive target that will imitate the radar traces of fighter jets such as the F-16. Another important contribution is its ability to engage at supersonic speed, so it will remove foreign dependency, especially in trainings about missile defense or enemy aircrafts. The third area is to get a kamikaze drone flying at supersonic speed, equipped with a warhead instead of other payloads.

Pakistan army should order these ASAP we are lacking loitering munition whilst India has many variants.

After indians lobby work against Turkey F16 deal they should give you ASAP.
