This is the drone rumored to have made a kill autonomously in Libya right?

I think it is the forerunner, the Kargu I. But I don't believe the rumor that the drone has attacked humans in a fully automated way. I think there is always a human in the loop that decides what and when to attack or not.

There is certainly an agenda behind this rumor.

Mostly yes, and some unarmored targets such as civilian vehicles and such. It peppers the target fragments with a blast-fragmentation warhead.

Cool stuff. Would work great as part of a swarm. If an anti-armoured variant is also developed then they can make an anti-personnel swarm, an anti-armoured swarm and then combine them

So you could have multiple combined-arms-brigades-style system where a big swarm could work for many missions.

Obviously thats for the future, but there is a clear development path for Turkey regarding these programs

Good job

If they can improve the endurance some more, then this idea might very well become true:


From a COIN weapon to a weapon used in conventional, state-on-state conflict. Just like what the TB-2 has done.

AFAIK the Chinese have a similar system as the ALPAGU, but they made a whole MLRS out of it instead of just a mortar-like tube:

I think so as well. They aren’t happy that non-Western approved nations have access to strike capable drones.
