STM Scores Second Export Success with Armour-Piercing Kargu TurDef
STM has signed its second export contract for the KARGU rotary-wing loitering munition system fitted with an armour-piercing warhead, marking another milestone in the UAV’s growing global footprint. Following extensive testing and successful deployment of the upgraded warhead, the system continues to attract international buyers.



KARGU, also known as a “kamikaze UAV”, entered the Turkish Armed Forces inventory in 2018 and has since proven effective in counter-terrorism and cross-border operations. The armour-piercing version, developed last year, is designed to destroy armoured land vehicles and fortified structures while maintaining the original’s anti-personnel effectiveness. It has now secured its second international customer after an initial export deal signed months earlier.

With more than ten countries across three continents already operating KARGU, STM is positioning the system as a versatile, portable, and AI-enabled loitering munition capable of responding to evolving battlefield needs. KARGU allows operators to swap out its warhead in the field, shifting between anti-personnel and armour-piercing payloads as the mission requires.

TEI Exhibits Its Engine Portfolio at the Paris Air Show TurDef
TUSAŞ Engine Industries (TEI) demonstrated its military and commercial propulsion systems at the Paris Air Show in 2025. The show took place at Le Bourget Airport from June 16 to 22.

The business showed off Türkiye's first jet engine, the TF6000, as well as the TS1400 turboshaft engine that powers the T625 GÖKBEY helicopter, the PD170 turbodiesel engine for drones, and its line of small turbojets.



TEI also highlighted its capabilities in producing engine parts and modules for international programmes, including next-generation single crystal components currently in serial production. These components enable uninterrupted power generation in the engine’s hottest sections.

According to information obtained by TurDef, development tests on the TF6000 have demonstrated continued high performance even above the target temperature range using uncooled single crystal blades.

Paris Airshow: TUSAŞ Displays Re-Designed T925 Helicopter TurDef
TUSAŞ has displayed a scaled model of the T925 multirole utility helicopter in its new layout with a reworked fuselage and cabin at the Paris Airshow 2025.

Following TUSAŞ’s official unveiling of the new configuration that is closer to the S-70 utility helicopter in terms of the fuselage, the scaled model was put on display during Paris Airshow 2025. T925’s former configuration was closer to the S-92 with a large cabin and ramp at the expense of aerodynamics.
