TR Small Aerial Drones & Loitering Ammunitions

ST claims EREN is in advanced stage or maybe he means, it is already in use (end of video)

It is not in use

Swarm Attack by KARGU!
KARGU Loitering Munitions, armed with multiple warheads, launched a coordinated swarm attack with autonomous precision.
Autonomy. Coordination. Accuracy.
Redefining the battlefield through engineering.

Yeah, they had to show the impact(s) there, it isn't enough to show just a flyby and cut to static.

Those things are expensive
They just wanted to show its swarm capability.

Fair enough mate, but it would've hammered their point home if they had shown drones hitting targets one after another.

Isn't the point of those kind of drones to be cheap?

You can make them cheap by buying boatloads of them. And nationalize components to the max so money stays in the country.

Or even if you don't, having the capability is very good as the know-how is transferrable.

To top it off, it can be used in niche cases by special forces even if it is never produced in the thousands.

@boredaf guess the warhead

We have successfully integrated an armor-piercing warhead and a fiber-optic cable into our national kamikaze drone solution, KARGUFPV, following the anti-personnel payload.

Uninterrupted communication
High impact on armored targets

Can't see the tweet mate, but I'm gonna guess M72?

fck, i wanted to make a joke about the claymore option.

 

[boredaf]

fck, i wanted to make a joke about the claymore option.

Lmao, well, I always expect STM to use claymore for anti-personnel and M72 for anti-armour. What did they use this time?

 

[Strong AI]

claymore for anti-personnel and M72 for anti-armour

exactly those two, again

 

[boredaf]

exactly those two, again

There might come a time when STM surprises us by using, I don't know, just a slap of C4 and an RPG warhead, but its not today

Has this been shared already?

MKE'den dolanan mühimmat ailesi

MKE, dolanan mühimmat ürün ailesi kapsamında lançer sisteminden atılabilen 3 farklı versiyondaki bulut altı İHA sistemini sergiledi.

www.defenceturk.net

MKE unveiled its foldable-wing loitering munitions product family at the IDEF 2025 Fair. Scaled prototypes of three different munitions were presented at the fair, each developed for use on the battlefield with anti-jammer capabilities.

The fiber-optic cable-driven loitering munition system is capable of carrying a 5 kg high-explosive (HE) warhead and a steel ball warhead, with a total mass of 20 kg. The platform, which operates with an effective range of 40 km, is equipped with RF search capabilities. Its primary objective on the battlefield is to destroy jammer systems.

The electric-powered loitering munition is equipped with a 5 kg steel ball and a high-explosive (HE) warhead. It has a 30-minute flight endurance and a maximum speed of 150 km/h. This system can transmit via SLP (note: I have no idea what this is and what was written in the article makes no sense) and can be integrated with the Inertial Navigation System (INS). The munition, which operates with an effective range of 40 km, carries a GPS guidance kit with an electric or electromechanical fuse.

The turbine-jet-powered loitering munition is equipped with a 20 kg warhead and a total mass of 60 kg. With a maximum speed of 300 km/h, this system was developed to deliver high performance in a cost-effective manner. It has the capacity to carry 18 kg high explosive (HE) and steel ball warhead.

Kargu will also have a jammer option (this payload will be also available for other STM drones).

A Turkish defense company has developed what it claims is the world's first loitering munition system featuring fiber optic cable-connected FPV (First Person View) components with foldable wings that can establish data links with launchers, creating new battlefield advantages.
[...]
The company has secured patents for its fiber optic cable-equipped foldable-wing loitering munition and completed testing phases, making the system mission-ready.
