Evidence & current status
Development programme. The product page contains inconsistent ancillary fields, so only clearly identified ALPAGUT figures are used.
ALPAGUT is a joint STM and Roketsan fixed-wing loitering-munition development. Despite the similar spelling, it is not the same aircraft as ALPAGU or the later ALPAGU-B. The manufacturer page identifies a substantially larger programme with day/night imaging.
The principal product figures describe a fifty-five-kilogram aircraft, a 2.3-metre length and a sixty-kilometre-plus operating radius. Additional page sections contain apparently unrelated shorter-range figures and ground-control-unit details. This profile uses only the clearly identified ALPAGUT baseline and records the inconsistency rather than mixing the tables.
The supplier describes the programme as being developed. A product page and exhibition presence are not proof of a completed operational acceptance. Current customer quantities, final configuration and independently demonstrated duration remain open. The separate record prevents data from smaller STM systems being inherited solely because the names look alike.
