KARGI — Anti-Radiation / Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses

KARGI overview

KARGI is a Turkish loitering-munition project associated with Lentatek and intended for anti-radiation or suppression-of-enemy-air-defenses missions. Public descriptions place it in a role that searches for emitting air-defense systems, loiters in the target area, and attacks after the relevant emitter is identified under the system's operating concept. The project name is also rendered as KARGI anti-radiation UAV in public defense material.

Its broad mission is better established than its detailed specification. Public sources do not provide a consistent, configuration-specific set of speed, range, endurance, ceiling, launch mass, dimensions, seeker modes, guidance logic, or warhead data. Comparisons with other anti-radiation loitering systems are role comparisons only; they do not establish common performance or design lineage. The catalog illustration is an interpretation and is not evidence of the actual seeker or propulsion arrangement.

Lentatek publicly exhibited KARGI by 2022 and has described it as a domestic Turkish defense-development effort. Public announcements show development and promotion, but do not establish a complete operational service record, export list, production quantity, or combat use. As of September 12, 2026, KARGI remains best documented as a developing Turkish anti-radiation loitering munition with important configuration details Not publicly disclosed.

Development and operational timeline

  1. Lentatek publicly exhibits KARGI as a Turkish anti-radiation loitering-munition project
  2. Public Turkish defense coverage continues to associate KARGI with suppression-of-enemy-air-defenses missions
  3. Lentatek continues domestic unmanned-systems development and KARGI promotion; production quantities are not released
  4. Public reporting still lacks a complete configuration-specific KARGI performance and operator record
  5. As of September 12, 2026, KARGI remains a developing system with seeker, warhead, and service-entry details Not publicly disclosed
