KARGU can be effectively used against static or moving targets through its real-time image processing capabilities and machine learning algorithms embedded on the platform.

[2][3] In Turkish, Kargu means "mountain observation tower" because these drones were initially designed as an airborne sentry or surveillance tool.

Its swarms are too numerous to be tackled by advanced air defense systems and can destroy a large number of targets very rapidly.
