At IDEF 2025, Türkiye showcased indigenous warships and naval systems, marking a new era of technological and industrial excellence for the Turkish Navy.

During the Fire Power-2025 Exercise in Ankara Polatlı, STM’s autonomous KARGU drone swarm and fiber-optic KarguFPV kamikaze drone were showcased for the first time in full operational form, successfully striking designated targets with precision.

Türkiye’s kamikaze drone KarguFPV successfully struck an armored vehicle with full precision during its first explosive test using an armor-piercing warhead. Developed by STM, the system strengthens its role as a deterrent in asymmetric warfare.

At IDEF 2025, STM introduced two cutting-edge systems — the new KarguFPV kamikaze drone equipped with an armor-piercing warhead and fiber-optic link, and the STM VTOL tactical UAV capable of carrying 10 kg payloads for multi-domain missions.

STM’s RF seeker-equipped KARGU detects RF emissions from FPV controllers, pinpoints operator location and conducts dive-to-strike engagements as an integrated EW-enabled loitering munition.

At IDEF 2025, STM introduced the BOYGA-B multi-munition UAV and the TUNGA Smart Ammunition System, designed to enhance Türkiye’s precision strike and tactical air capabilities.

At IDEF 2025, Roketsan’s TAYFUN BLOK-4 hypersonic missile, ASELSAN’s CENK 350-N naval radar, and STM’s first national corvette model drew global attention as Türkiye showcased its latest defense innovations.

Fiber-optic-tethered FPV drones are rising as EW-resilient killers. Seen in recent Special Forces drills, Türkiye’s ecosystem readies multiple products—experts hint at fresh IDEF 2025 announcements.
