Somebody should invite him to the forum, he will boost the forum to another level....
We can offer assistance for his broadcasting. Erdogan should make him a honorable citizen of Istanbul :D The guy is doing more than all the Turkish propaganda departments within the State together.

I don't know whether it fits here or UAV section but loitering munition may come in two different configuration,
one is well known gas-piston engine powered
another is not-yet known jet-engine powered (TJ150 - TJ300)

the latter will rather be a cheap cruise missile with relatively slower speed than a cruise missile and lacking terrain hugging with radar altimeter but employing a similar technique via image processing.
the latter could be referring to kuzgun, however i am not sure yet.

Heard in somewhere while somebody is talking, that is why i couldn't differ whether it is Kuzgun or something else, i wasn't a participant of the conversation.
Looks like IDEF will be fun.

I've heard first time about Turkish gas-piston engine powered loitering munition. İnteresting .

Kargı i think? The name has been around but nothing was shown.

Kargu appears rotary wing attack drone?

Should we expect that gas-piston powered loitering munition would have fuselage as same as HAROP?

"KargU" and "KargI" are two different projects. Kargu(Kargu I&II) is a small multicopter kamikaze drone.

Kargu is a harop like kamikaze drone family that is currently in serial production and the total order for different variants is written in 4 digits.
Payload is a combination of EO/IIR gimbal, passive radar seeker, and compact Satcom depending on the variant.
PG-50/40/30 engines are used to propel the drone.
It has a composite body and a stealthy design.
Its range is more than 1500kms so in theory, you can hit a target in London with the Satcom installed variant.
LOS range is 150-200kms without the SATCOM but the range can be extended via other drones or ground, shipbased or airborne stations that can act as a relay.
It can be deployed in small swarms up to a certain number.
Weighs around ~150kg
~20kg warhead.

Shouldn’t second paragraph read “KargI” according to your explanation in previous paragraph?

Old picture. So what.
Old picture => old news
Why serve old news as if it is new? Do we know when exactly the picture in question was shared?

This is showing both Goktug missiles. Picture from November 2020.
The plane in the background seems to have similar coloured wings to the one in the questioned picture.
